Description

This felt seal creates a smooth, airtight barrier where the drum meets the bulkhead in your dryer. Replacing a worn seal helps maintain proper airflow, protect fabrics from snagging, and reduce scraping or squealing noises during operation. What it does:

• Seals the gap between the rotating drum and front/rear bulkhead to contain heat and airflow
• Provides a low-friction, cushioned surface for the drum rim
• Helps keep lint and debris out of the cabinet
• Common symptoms of failure: longer or uneven dry times, rubbing/scraping noises, clothes catching or leaving marks at the drum edge, visibly worn or torn felt

What's included:

• 1 felt seal

Install notes:

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Remove the top/front panel to access the drum and bulkhead; support drum as needed
• Remove old felt and adhesive; clean the mating surface thoroughly
• Dry-fit the new seal; install per manufacturer guidance; allow proper set time before reassembly
• Hand-rotate the drum to verify even contact and clearance, then test operation
