Kathy May 13, 2015 for Model Number AED4475TQ1 My real seal came off while drying. Do I need to buy a new one or can I just glue it back on?
1 Answer Hello Kathy, If the seal is still intact it can be reattached using High Temperature Adhesive WPY055980. If not, it W10612022 will have to be replaced. If you have to replace it, the adhesive comes with the new seal and will not have to be ordered separately. Read More...

Luke May 06, 2014 for Model Number dsxh43ga4ww The dryer drum felt seal came off while i was drying. I removed the front cover and noticed that the felt was worn out.and prior to that the dryer was making a screeching noise and and thumping noise. The seal appeared to be glued on. What parts do i need to replace it.thank you
1 Answer Luke, You will want to check the drum glide WE03X10007 to make sure that the glide is not damaged as this would cause the screeching noise. The felt seal part number is WE09X10013 for the upper and the lower is part number WE09X10014. These come with the adhesive. Read More...

Mihran September 15, 2013 for Model Number DBXR463EB0WW I have a GE electric dryer model DBXR463EB0WW. It is not drying well and it's making screeching sounds when tumbling. I have replaced and cleaned all vents. Vent is not an issue. Heating element is not an issue either. I have read that replacing the felt seal might fix the drying problem. I will go ahead and replace the felt seal. With the felt seal (part #AP4319934) do I need to order glue for it?
1 Answer Hello Mihran, The lower seal on this machine clips onto the front air duct assembly and adhesive is not required. The issue of the squealing noise can be caused by one of two different issues. (1) The bearing slides WE03X37318, and WE03X37317, and possibly the slide holder (dryer drum front support bearing) WE3M26, can be worn down which causes the drum to "tilt" forward. This causes the rear of the drum to actually contact the heating element. (2) The rear drum bearing assembly can be worn and/or the grounding strap can make the sound. WARNING: Do not simply remove the strap. This strap shown on the right on the part illustration WE25M40, is necessary to ground the drum. If it is removed, the unit will still operate but if the drum contacts the heating element, the breaker will not be tripped and when you reach in to load/unload the unit, 120Vac can be on the drum and a serious electrical shock can be recieved. This can kill or seriously injure you. You are better off to apply a small amount of grease to the grounding strap to quieten the sound and keep the drum grounded. Read More...
