Description

This collar assembly is the molded trim and sealing piece that fits around the dryer drum opening to help maintain proper alignment and airflow. It restores a secure drum fit and reduces rubbing or air leaks when the original is damaged. What it does:

• Provides a stable collar around the drum opening to help keep the drum centered and reduce metal-on-metal contact
• Helps maintain proper airflow path from the drum to the exhaust, limiting air leaks
• Reduces noise and rubbing caused by a worn or cracked collar
• Supports adjacent trim and seal surfaces so lint and moisture are directed into the exhaust

What's included: One collar assembly Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and gas, for gas dryers) before beginning any repair
• Replacement typically requires partial disassembly of the dryer front panel or bulkhead; follow OEM instructions
• Inspect adjoining seals, drum glides, and rollers while replacing the collar; replace any worn components
