Frank April 16, 2024 for Model Number LER4634EQ1 I replaced the rear drum seal. How critical is the placement of the seal? There's a bit of a gap. If I could do it again, I'd probably move the seal an additional eighth inch off the drum. As it is, I lined up the interior green stitching with the drum edge. Around most of the drum, there's no gap. However, in the upper right, beside the exhaust vent, there's a built-in depression in the "wall ring" the drum seal spins around and the gap there is noticable. Seems like a design feature to release moisture, not sure. Is the placement of the seal that sensitive? By the way, I've ensured the seal is not folded and is properly seated. Also, the drum in properly installed on the rollers. Thank you.
1 Answer Frank, You will want to make sure that there is no gap as this can allow items to get wedged in between and then it will also allow heat to escape and cause excess lint in the cabinet of the unit. Read More...

Coacha67 March 13, 2015 for Model Number DV337AEG/XAA-0000 I was wondering if this part would be a suitable replacement for the front seal on a SAMSUNG DV337AEG/XAA. I tried to get an original part from them - but after a lot of effort and time - their answer was - they don't sell that part - but would be happy to sell me a new drum assembly. Look forward to your reply, v/r, CoachA67
1 Answer Hello CoachA67. You must order the drum assembly DC97-10355B for the felt seals. Read More...
Jaime R. June 17, 2014 for Model Number LG7701XWW0 I have a gas dryer that's heating up initially and at some point stops generating heat. I looked inside the unit and found a thick blanket of lint and all sorts of objects (coins, paper clips, rubber bands etc) scattered about the floor of the unit and the motor and the burnt gas exhaust vent. I looked at the rear seal and it looks in bad shape, but I wonder could it explain how all that lint escaped into the interior of the unit including the random objects? Good thing it was found since some of it was starting to char away.
1 Answer Jaime, Yes the worn seals will allow small articles to fall through and accumulate inside the dryer cabinet. You also want to check and make sure the exhaust vent is properly secured to the exhaust pipe on the back of the dryer. Both of these situations can and will recirculate the lint back into the inside of the dryer. You'll need to vacuum all the lint out off the inside of the dryer and any that may be under or around the machines and replace the drum seal. Your heating issue is most likely due to a weak set of gas valve coils 279834. They will operate for the first 10 or 15 minutes, then they fail and won't lift the valve plunger to release the gas for ignition and heat. Read More...

Jojo July 16, 2013 for Model Number LE5800XSW3 The dryer tub seems loose. I can see daylight through rear felt seal. I know the seal needs to be replaced, but how do I know why the tub is loose. I don't want to start buying bearings, rollers, and seals if the repair is going to get too costly I rather just buy a new dryer.
1 Answer Hello JoJo. You will need to replace the rollers 349241T. Also, the rear felt seal 239087 and the bearing ring WP3394509 will need to be replaced. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Robert! To replace this part, remove the top panel of your dryer and your drum. Remove the old seal and any excess glue that may have transferred to the drum. Glue the new seal on in the place of the old one on the rear bulkhead. Allow the glue to set for about a half hour and replace the drum and the top of the dryer. If you need more assistance with the install, you can go to the repair forum on our website and the techs there can provide additional help. I hope this helps! http://forum.appliancepartspros.com Read More...
