This rear drum felt seal is designed to create a flexible, airtight barrier between the dryer drum and the rear panel, helping to maintain optimal heat circulation and airflow during drying cycles. By preventing heat and air from escaping, it supports efficient drying performance and reduces energy consumption. The seal also plays a key role in keeping the drum properly aligned, minimizing friction and wear. A worn or damaged seal can lead to symptoms such as extended drying times, overheating, unusual noises, or clothing damage. Installation involves removing the drum, cleaning the contact surface, and securing the new seal to restore proper function and efficiency.

Speed Queen, Amana, Maytag, Whirlpool

One of the metal drum guide brackets broke causing mis-alignment of drum, uneven guide wear and a noticeable chaffing/grinding sound, and after several months it began to eat up the felt drum/cylinder seal. Easily replaced both glide brackets and pads. Glued new felt seal on using 3 point c-clamp attachment to hold it in place while hig

Simple repair, lift top, unhook 5 wires remove 2 small hex head machine screws on inside and 4 on front, remove the 3 screws holding lint filter on assembly, and the 4 bracket screws. No part of the removal or installation process is complicated. Everything is very accessible with ease.
Turned off power, took off front panel where seal was. Used a putty knife to remove old seal. Cleaned surface with an abrasive and then acetone to get off old glue. Attached new seal with an adhesive that can handle high temperatures, clamped in place while drying (about one hour). Reassembled, let sit for a full day to let adhesive cure

After replacing the heating element and high limit fuse, I pulled the front cover to examine the felt cylinder seal. At this point I saw that a dryer sheet had entered the squirrel cage blower and completely conformed to the inner shape of the fan like a Melitta coffee filter. It had a half inch cylinder of lint packed into it like coffee

Variable SCREACHING sound that got gradually worse over a couple of weeks.
I used this excellent web site for the first time, querying by "sound symptoms". I ordered the four parts ranked most likely to be the culprit. I successfully changed all four, but unfortunately the problem persisted. So I ordered the next two ranked parts. VOILA! It was the Idler Lever. More specifically the pulley of the idler leve
... Read morer. Upon inspection of the old and new part, it was quite obvious the problem. The belt had worn a perfect groove, the width of the belt, into the pulley wheel. To the layman, the groove looked factory made, but it was not. I wish the web site suggested first to inspect the wheel for that condition before ordering any parts, but I'm still very impressed by this web site, especially the fact that you provide a start-to-finish installation video for EVERY individual part! Will definitely recommend you to friends!!
