This small hardware washer sits under a fastener in the specified assembly to distribute load and maintain proper spacing. Replacing a worn or missing washer helps keep components tight, aligned, and operating smoothly.

• Distributes clamping force to prevent fastener pull-through and damage
• Maintains correct spacing/stack-up in the original assembly
• Helps reduce loosening, vibration, and premature wear at the joint
• Typical signs of trouble include rattling, looseness, or misalignment at the connection point

• Disconnect power (and turn off water supply if accessing a wet area)
• Use your model's parts diagram to locate and install the washer
• Replace one-for-one; reinstall any spacers or clips in the same stack sequence
• Tighten fasteners to manufacturer guidance—do not overtighten

This cleaning felt mounts on the dryer's front shroud. It lightly contacts the rotating drum to wipe away lint and residue, helping keep the drum edge clean and supporting consistent airflow to the lint filter.

• Provides a soft wiper against the drum rim to reduce lint and residue buildup
• Helps maintain smooth drum rotation and a clean front duct area
• Wear signs include frayed or missing felt, lint trails on fabrics, or light squeaks at the front
• Visual inspection is recommended if lint accumulates inside the drum after cycles

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off gas supply
• Access the front panel/shroud and note the original felt's orientation before removal
• Clean the mounting surface; install the new felt in the same position (some models use clips or adhesive)
• Hand-rotate the drum to ensure even, light contact before reassembly and testing
