Drum felt seal came off and was pinched between the drum & back panel

Unplugged the unit, Removed the top, front panel and drum. Cleaned the old glue from the drum and fitted the new felt seal. I then glued the new seal in place in sections of approximately 15 to 20 % of the drum diameter. I clamped the felt seal in place for 5-10 minutes and continued the process around the diameter of the drum. I let the glue dry & reinstalled the drum, its belt and idler pulley. I reinstalled the front panel and used a common table knife to make sure the drum seal was properly seated; turning the drum counter clockwise. Once seated, I reinstalled the top & filter; turned the dryer on and relished in the silence. I spent more time than needed but that was my choice. Piece of cake!
