The Dryer Drum Felt Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This seal ensures a tight fit between the dryer drum and the rear bulkhead, preventing air leaks and maintaining proper drum alignment during the drying cycle. The seal measures approximately 36 inches in length and 1 inch in width. Please note, adhesive for installation is not included.
Causes of a bad felt seal can include friction from the rotating drum, exposure to high temperatures, or general wear and tear over time.
Symptoms of a bad felt seal include:
- Clothes getting caught or torn during the drying cycle
- Increased drying times due to air leaks
- Unusual noises such as scraping or squeaking
- Visible gaps or tears in the felt seal
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
