How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP3669570 / WE09X10013 Felt - Upper (Drum Seal), 1 Piece

I removed the damaged felt strips and all adhesive residue from the dryer door face. Then I installed the new felt strips. The plastic glides snapped into place easily on the drum. Reinstalling the door was a simple operation, and the drum fit snugly on the new felt gaskets. The dryer works great now, runs quietly, and the entire repair cost much less than a service call or purchasing a new dryer. 

I replaced the upper and lower felts as well as the drum glides. 

After tearing down the dryer, I found the rear drum bearing(bushing) was worn. The belt appeared cracked and the felt was ok, but had wear. The ordering of parts went easy. Parts came in two days. I replaced the bearing kit and belt. I needed assistance to hold the bearing parts in place while attaching them from the other side. The dyer works well now. The felt was not the part I expected. The return process was easy. 

Replaced the rear Drum Bearing kit, Glide Drum, Upper Felt and Idler Arm. These were the most recommended repairs from AppliancePartsPros.com, and since I had the dryer apart, I chose to replace all the common wear parts. The hardest part was figuring out how to take the top off... there were no good images or descriptions. For my model, there are two spring clips on the front above the control panel and top which need to be depressed with a flat head screw driver.
