How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6007618 / WP31001747 Felt Seal Assembly

Removed front wall of dryer, disconnected electrical from wall(first thing). Disconnect front door switch, remove tub, remove felt, clean, used compressed air to blow out all dust from heater assembly. Used compressed air to blow out all lint catch line parts. Used electrical contact cleaner to clean all electrical connections where dust and lint had gathered. Installed new felt pad by first applying high temp adhesive, let adhesive set about a minute or so, install felt. Let sit for about an hour, install new belt and reattach tub. Let sit for a couple of hours to ensure adhesive was fully dry. 

Opened the top of the dryer and removed the front two screws, lifting the front door up and away from the dryer, placing my arm thru the bottom of the dryer. Pulling back on the belt wheel to remove the tension in the drum belt, probably the most difficult thing in the whole job. Lifting the drum slightly and pulling it toward the front easy, while holding unto the belt. It is not that hard, but make sure you check the support wheels on the back bulkhead to insure they are in good shape, do not oil. Also make sure the drum is not damaged at all, and that it is not out of shape, just repeat the removal backward and your done. Might take about a half-hour if you clean out the dryer vents and inside the bulkhead of the dryer, recommended. The drums are no longer available, so if the drum is damaged, good luck, you might find a used one, but they are expensive online. Not difficult. 

Removed the front panel and removed the old seal. Dry fitted the new seal. Then applied adhesive to the front panel and installed a seal. Waited for the adhesive to dry. They folded back the seal. 

Went online to find the parts breakdown. Ordered my parts and they were delivered the next day. 

Took the front off the dryer off, removed old one, removed the adhesive(not easy), and put the new one on.
