The Felt Drum Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part creates a tight seal along the edge of the dryer drum, preventing hot air from escaping and ensuring efficient operation. The felt seal helps to minimize noise and vibration during the drying cycle by cushioning the space between the drum and the dryer body. 

Over time, the felt drum seal can wear out, become compacted, or tear, leading to potential issues such as increased drying times, higher energy consumption, and excess noise. 

Symptoms of a bad Felt Drum Seal include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry
• Unusual noises or increased vibration during operation
• A visible gap between the drum and the dryer body
• Excessive lint buildup inside the dryer beyond the lint trap

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

The Blower Wheel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This component is crucial for the proper circulation of hot air within the dryer drum, ensuring efficient drying of clothes by directing airflow through the drum and out the exhaust.

Common causes of a bad blower wheel include accumulated lint and debris obstructing the wheel, physical damage from foreign objects, or general wear from prolonged use. A faulty blower wheel can significantly reduce drying efficiency and may cause the dryer to overheat.

Symptoms of a bad blower wheel include:

• Longer drying times for clothes
• Unusual noises during the drying cycle
• Overheating of the dryer
• Poor airflow from the dryer vent

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

A bad bearing ring can occur due to wear and tear over time, high usage, or damage from foreign objects getting caught in the drum. If the bearing ring becomes worn, cracked, or damaged, it can lead to loud squeaking or grinding noises coming from the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad bearing ring for front support include:

• Loud squeaking or grinding noises during operation.
• Excessive vibration or shaking of the dryer.
• Difficulty in rotating the drum manually.

This seal is placed around the lint screen housing to prevent air leaks and ensure that the dryer operates efficiently by directing airflow properly through the lint screen. By maintaining a tight seal, this foam helps to optimize the dryer’s performance, reduce drying times, and prevent lint from escaping into the internal parts of the dryer, which can lead to potential maintenance issues and decreased efficiency.

Symptoms of a failing lint screen housing foam seal include:

• Increased lint buildup inside the dryer beyond the lint screen
