Good To Know

Q: How do I identify if the seal needs to be replaced? A: Common indicators include a scraping sound during operation, black marks on dried clothes, or the dryer taking longer than usual to finish a cycle. Replacing the seal can prevent further damage to the drum and motor.

Q: Is adhesive required to install this part? A: Most felt seals require a high-temperature appliance adhesive to stay secured to the drum or bulkhead during use. You should verify if your specific model requires a separate bonding agent for installation.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
