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
What's included: 1 cleaning felt Install notes:
- 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
