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 Bearing Ring for Front Support is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It provides support and stability to the dryer's front drum. The bearing ring helps to reduce friction and ensure smooth rotation of the drum during the drying cycle. It helps to maintain proper alignment and balance, preventing excessive noise and vibration during operation.

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.
• Visible damage or wear on the bearing ring.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
