Product Description
The Dryer Felt Seal encloses the drum in the appliance to prevent air from escaping during the drying cycle. If the seal in your dryer is worn out or damaged, you may notice brown stains on your clothes after use. This is not caused by oil from the dryer, the clothes are most likely getting pinched in the drum??ås holes during tumbling due to a faulty seal. As the felt seal wears out and compresses over time, it can also cause hot air to escape the drum, making the drying cycle less effective and efficient. This replacement part measures 79-1/2" L and includes a tube of adhesive to complete the repair. Installing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the dryer and novice repair experience. You must unplug the dryer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Special shipping and handling is required for this item.
