John March 16, 2024 for Model Number LG DLE2532w I need the front drum seal for this dryer. Is part #PS3522851 the proper seal?
Nathan August 12, 2023 for Model Number DLE2140W Are the front and rear drum seals identical on the DLE2140W? I've seen differing comments online and when I pull the drum out they don't look the same but on this site it only shows one kind of seal. Thanks.
1 Answer Nathan, The drum seal should be the same on the front and rear of the drum and would be part number 4036EL3001A. Read More...

Kim July 31, 2019 for Model Number DLE0442W The rear seal on my LG dryer came off and ended up inside the drum where I pulled it out with a load of clothes. I'm having the seal replaced but I'm wondering what could have made the seal come off that way. The dryer would often take two or three cycles to actually get the clothes dry and was very loud.
1 Answer Kim, you may want to inspect the rollers 4581EL3001E to ensure they are not seized up or worn down as this can cause the drum to not rotate properly. You may also want to inspect the ventilation through the house to ensure that there are no clogs from lint. These two items together can cause drying issues as the drum will not rotate properly and the dryer would not have good airflow to dry. Read More...
Khai April 23, 2018 for Model Number 796.91072310 I have a lot of lint in my dryer inner compartment. Which seal part should i get and does it come inpair or single? should i get the high temp glue for it also? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Khai. You will need to check and see if the guide assembly 4975EL3001A is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Thank you. Read More...
Kevin July 17, 2017 for Model Number LGR7646EQ3 How can I tell if my dryer drum seals are bad? I'm troubleshooting a drying issue. I've already disconnected the vent still did not dry cloths took 3 cycles, checked thermostats all checked good .1 - .2 ohms, thermister 9.9 ohms. The drum seems to be loose as if felt seals are worn so its either that or the moister sensors. Thoughts, suggestions with part numbers would be very much appreciated. Thank you
1 Answer Kevin, You can visually check the rear drum bearing, by looking at the felt seal in the gap between the drum and the rear bulkhead. You'd be looking for holes or tears and missing areas. The front drum seal/bearing isn't as easy, you'll need to remove the front panel and check the bearing and seal attached to the inside of the front panel around the door opening. There is always some "play" in the drum and bulkhead area. We wouldn't expect the moisture sensor to be an issue, but you may want to "clean" the assembly especially the metal bars, with a rag and rubbing alcohol, this will usually remove any fabric softener residue or debris that could cause an issue if the dryer is shutting off too soon. As this should be gas dryer, you most likely have a set of weak gas valve solenoids 279834 causing the dryer to heat intermittently, and taking too long to dry the load. Read More...
Andrew November 17, 2016 for Model Number DLE7177WM Can you use any glue that is rated for high temperatures to the seals?
1 Answer Andrew, For a high temp adhesive that will work for the dryer drum seal then you could use part number 5308027429. Read More...
Chris November 04, 2012 for Model Number DLE5977W Hello, My dryer drum liner has worn out, and broken in various spots. It now sticks out into the main cavity and is causing grease marks. I have 3 questions: 1. Is the right part part number AP4438638? 2. Do I need adhesive to apply the new liner? 3. Does the new liner part come with adhesive? Thanks for your help. Chris
1 Answer Hello Chris, This seal may require adhesive WPY055980. This does not come with the new seal 4036EL3001A. This seal is for front and back. Read More...
David April 11, 2012 for Model Number DLE5977B From the answers that were previously given regarding part AP4438638 it sounds like this is the seal for the rear of the drum. The seal of my dryer came loose from the front of the drum by the door. Is this the same part, or do I need a different one?
1 Answer Hello David. Yes, 4036EL3001A is the seal for the front and back of the dryer drum. Hope this helps. Read More...
