The Drum Felt Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric and gas dryers. Located between the drum and front panel, this multi-layered seal helps prevent lint buildup and moisture escape during cycles.
Causes of a bad dryer drum felt seal can include cracking, flaking or separation of felt layers from age. Oil or other residue trapped in the fibers can also degrade sealing efficiency.
Symptoms of a bad dryer drum felt seal include:
- Trapped moisture inside dryer drum between loads
- Longer drying cycles to remove all moisture
- Excess lint visible behind and around the felt seal
This genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
