The Lint Screen Housing Foam Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. 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
• Longer drying times due to inefficient air circulation
• Excessive heat and humidity within the dryer

Causes of foam seal deterioration typically involve normal wear and tear, exposure to high heat which can degrade the material, or improper maintenance that can tear or dislodge the foam.

The Rear Dryer Drum Felt Seal with Adhesive is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It forms a protective barrier along the rear opening of the dryer drum, preventing air leaks and absorbing sound-dampening vibrations. 

Causes of a bad rear drum felt seal can include degradation of adhesives from heat cycling or poor drum surface bonding from bending stresses over time.

Symptoms of a bad rear dryer drum felt seal include:  

• Reduced drying effectiveness and longer cycle times from air leaks
• Excessive noise emanating from around the rear drum seal area  
• Flapping or loose seals allow air pathways to form
