Customer Questions and Answers for Rear Drum Felt Seal With Adhesive by Whirlpool

Part Number: OEM9282456
Manufacturer Part Number: 279408

The Rear Drum Felt Seal with Adhesive is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part creates a tight seal at the rear of the dryer drum. This seal prevents hot air from escaping the drum during cycles, ensuring efficient and even drying of clothes. 

Causes of a deteriorating rear drum felt seal can range from normal wear and tear, excessive heat exposure, to mechanical issues that cause misalignment or excessive wear on the seal itself.

Symptoms of a bad Rear Drum Felt Seal include:

  • Clothes taking longer to dry or not drying thoroughly
  • Increased lint outside the dryer or in the venting system
  • Unusual noises during operation, indicating a gap or friction issue
  • Heat escaping from the rear of the dryer

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Rear Drum Felt Seal With Adhesive (Part Number: OEM9282456)

Jlim for Model Number KGYE760WWH1

Dear Support, I have a KitchenAid Model No. KGYE760WWH1 gas dryer. About 60" long x 1/8" wide strip (it's felt material on one side and black color material on the other side) came loose from the rear of the drum. On my dryer, this strip was visible all the way around the inside of the dryer. When I watched the repair video for AP3094149, it doesn't look like the seal strip will be visible from the inside after it has been installed. Can you confirm whether AP3094149 is the correct part for my dryer? Thank you.

John, unfortunately, the drum seal 279408, MFG # 279408, would be for your model as it is 79 1/2" in length. If you could contact our customer service at 1-877-477-7278, we would gladly assist you.

Dryer fixer, To remove adhesive you could use something like goo gone to remove it. There is nothing really specific other than something like that.

Peter for Model Number KEYE677BWH2

My dryer is leaving black "skid" marks on my clothes, and it looks like that rear felt padding has seen better days. I want to be sure I'm ordering the correct part. The repair looks pretty straight forward, and, thanks very much for the video explaining how to take the machine apart properly. That's a really good thing. Is there anything else that could be doing this, and or, should I get any other parts as a recommended repair/ maintenance?? Thank you for your time, -Peter

Laura P. for Model Number LER6611LQ0

I have a Whirlpool dryer - the seal has become deteriorated and partially loose from the rear of the drum. First of all, this seal is visible all the way around. When watching the repair video it doesn't look like the seal will be visible from the inside after it has been installed. He uses the adhesive to apply it to the outside of the drum. I ordered the Felt Seal and in the description it reads "Dryer rear felt seal. Includes adhesive." What is the difference between the Rear Drum Felt Seal and the Felt Seal I ordered besides the amount of money? The two seals look almost the same. Before we tear into this thing, I was wondering if we have the right part in hand. I did use my model number to search for the part and did review the isometric drawing in my manual but it wasn't very clear.

Laura, There is not a difference in the felt seals other than one of the parts comes with the adhesive and the other doesn't.

Hello Jeff, The reason you were having problems is the full model number isn't listed here. If you look again at the model number I.D. tag, you will notice three more numbers before the numbers you listed. These are part of the model number also, even though they are not in the same typeset. I guessed at the number as 110.98573120 which would make your unit a Whirlpool built unit. The part numbers I looked up for it are 279735 for the Rear Drum Seal kit, (this is a kit because it comes with the adhesive to install it with), and 349241T for the Drum Roller Support Kit. The second is a kit because it comes with both rollers and the clip.

Hi Patrick. In order to repair the front and rear drum seal part # LA-1008, correctly you also need to "square-up" the drum as it meets the rear bulkhead and the front inner panel assy. The rear drum sets on rollers and if the rollers and roller shafts are worn, it will create slop that wear out the front and rear drum felt part # WP31001637. The front of the drum uses drum glides to roll against part # WP31001470 Front left tower post uses felt pad part # WP31001356 and the rt. side uses the part # LA-1006. You will need to allow the glue to set for 24 hrs before you use the dryer. Thank You. --
