Customer Questions and Answers for Lint Screen Housing Foam Seal by Whirlpool

Tim, The manufacturer does not list a seal for the bottom of the housing but you can use the same one as for the upper part.

CC, The WP339956 Lint Screen Housing Foam Seal, should have a paper or light cardboard covering on one side of the seal " Dryer foam seal with adhesive backing. This seal goes between the lint chute and the bulkhead. 28 in." ? If the adhesive or the adhesive cover is missing or damaged, then use the high temp. adhesive you used on the drum seal, but be cautious too much adhesive isn't good, either. Apply a small bead of adhesive to the bulkhead, allow a few minutes for the adhesive to get "tacky" then apply the seal to the adhesive. Thanks,

Hello Wanda. Sorry, the manufacturer does not issue the type of material the seal is made of. You will need to contact them for that information. Thank you.

Jenny, Yes this smell would most likely be from the foam, the first time that it heats up it could omit an odor as it kinda drys out. This should subside and operate normally.

Hello Tom. W11233063 is the lower seal for the unit.

Hello Scruffy. The model number you provided uses WP349639 for the lint filter.

Emma, There are a couple of things you may want to re check, but we don't think you'll find an issue. Recheck the seals you installed, and recheck the tumbler seals to make sure they didn't get twisted or are not seated properly. You may want to check the drum RPM (revolution per minute) Open the dryer door, use a piece of tape or something similar and mark the end of one of the baffles, Select a no heat / air fluff cycle, hold the door switch closed and start the machine. Pick a spot on the dryer door opening (door switch, serial tag etc.) and count the rpm. You should average 50 rpm (+/- 1). If the rpm is incorrect you will need to check the dryer belt, rollers and motor. If the tumbler rotates too fast, the clothes have a tendency to "stick" to the drum and not dry properly. If the drum tumbles too slow there's not enough rotation and circulation the properly evaporate the wetness from the clothes. "Mixed" Loads are the hardest to "gauge" and dry, properly. Larger light weight articles (sheets and pillowcases) dry quicker that t-shirts and shorts. It's also possible for the smaller heavier articles ( t-shirts and shorts) to become wrapped inside the larger, lighter articles and remain damp. On a load that's too small, the articles will stick to the dryer exhaust vent housing and block the air flow, causing the dryer door to heat up, and can cause the venting to flex or "jerk". You may want to try larger sized loads, try to fill the dryer with wet clothes to the bottom of the door opening, and no more than half full for a large load. and try to dry all similar sized, and weight loads instead of "Mixed" loads.

Hello Emma. The unit is pulling air through there. The pillow cases are light and dry. Thus the reason they would get sucked into the exhaust and stick for a few seconds. Try running wet ones in it and testing it. Those are heavy, not light.

Hello Emma. The only thing that would cause that was if one was sticking on the air return for a few seconds then tumbling.

Hello Emma. Check the blades of the blower wheel and the wheel and make sure they are not clogged or bad in the unit.
