Description

This rear drum seal is a flexible rubber gasket that fits around the back of the dryer drum to keep the drum centered and help prevent fabric damage and heat loss. Replacing a worn seal restores proper drum alignment and reduces noise. What it does:

• Seals the gap between the drum and rear bulkhead to limit air and heat leakage.
• Cushions the drum edge to reduce rubbing, scraping, or fabric snags.
• Helps quiet squeaks or rubbing noises caused by a torn or hardened seal.
• Reduces excessive lint buildup behind the drum when the seal is damaged.

What's included:

• One rear drum seal (rubber)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Access requires removing the dryer cabinet or rear bulkhead; your model's service instructions.
• Inspect the drum, rollers, and bulkhead for wear before installing the new seal.
• Seat the seal fully around the drum lip and reassemble panels; run the dryer to ensure quiet, even operation.
