Description
The Dryer Glide Felt Pad is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is located at the front of the dryer drum. It provides a smooth surface for the drum to glide on, reducing friction and allowing it to rotate freely. This helps to prevent excessive wear and noise during the drying cycle.
Causes of a faulty or damaged dryer glide felt pad can include regular wear and tear, accumulation of lint or debris, or accidental mishandling. These factors can result in issues such as squeaking or grinding noises, uneven drum rotation, or damage to the drum.
Symptoms of a bad dryer glide felt pad may include:
- Squeaking or grinding noises during operation
- Uneven drum rotation or wobbling
- Excessive wear or damage to the drum
