Customer Questions and Answers for Felt - Upper (Drum Seal), 1 Piece by Ge

This upper drum felt is the replacement seal that cushions and guides the dryer drum for quieter operation and smoother rotation. It helps protect the drum edge and prevents clothes from catching where the drum meets the front bulkhead. What it does:

• Cushions the drum and reduces metal-on-metal rubbing that causes squeaks or grinding noises
• Keeps garments from getting caught between the drum and cabinet edge
• Helps maintain proper drum alignment for even rotation
• Limits lint and airflow loss at the drum front to support optimal drying performance

What's included: One upper drum felt seal Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas dryers also shut off the gas supply and disconnect the gas line per manufacturer instructions
• Remove the dryer front panel or bulkhead as required to access and replace the upper felt; keep track of fasteners and orientation
• Inspect the drum, drum rollers, glide, and lower felt while servicing and replace any worn parts to prevent premature wear of the new felt
