Benefits:
-
Reduces drum noise & vibration — A worn or missing felt seal can cause the drum to rub against the cabinet or make scraping sounds; replacing the seal restores quieter operation.
-
Improves drying efficiency — A proper seal helps maintain hot air inside the drum and prevents heat and lint from escaping, which supports faster drying and less energy use.
-
Protects internal components — By keeping lint out of the space between the drum and housing, it reduces wear on drums, bearings and other internal parts.
-
OEM quality & fit — Ensures the correct material, width, length and mounting style, avoiding generic mismatches.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Needed
-
You hear metal-on-metal scraping or rubbing when the dryer drum rotates.
-
Lint is accumulating behind the drum or in the dryer cabinet due to air escaping from the seal area.
-
The dryer takes longer than usual to dry because heat is escaping rather than circulating.
-
Inspection of the existing seal shows it’s flattened, torn, missing or worn through.
-

-
Before ordering:
-
Verify your dryer’s model number and serial number (typically on the door frame or rear panel).
-
Compare your current seal: note the width, length, mounting tabs or adhesive backing and whether it’s front or rear.
-
If drum bearings, rollers, belt or other components are badly worn, replacing the seal alone may not fully fix noise or wear—consider full drum support inspection.
