The Lower Front Felt Seal is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This seal prevents hot air from escaping the dryer drum, ensuring optimal drying efficiency and preventing heat loss. It also helps reduce noise and vibration during operation.
Causes of a faulty lower front felt seal can include wear and tear over time, damage from foreign objects or excessive heat, or adhesive failure. These factors can result in air leakage, increased drying time, or excessive lint buildup.
Symptoms of a front felt seal may include:
- Air leakage around the dryer door or front panel
- Excessive lint accumulation near the dryer opening
- Unusual noises or vibrations during the operation
This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
Note: For the Hi-Temp Adhesive, order part number 5308027429. Additional parts to check are the rear drum bearing kit 5303281153 and the front felt glide assembly 5303937139.

Start knob broke off the front of dryer. Charlotte B. • Gardena , CA • September 10, 2017
Fix was simple. Hardest part was taking off old part and attaching the new part. The drum was in the way but I worked around it. Started by opening dryer top, then unscrewing the timer mechanism in order to create some slack. Removed the wires from the start switch and replaced the old switch with the new one. Reconnected the wires and screwed everything back in place. Simple fix wish I had more strength in my hands. Girl Power!!
