🧩 Compatibility Notes
-
Compare the existing seal in your dryer to the WP37001132 style (shape, size, mounting) to ensure match.
-
Replacing the seal is best done when accessing the drum — if your drum bearings or rollers are also worn, consider checking them at the same time.
-
Proper installation involves repositioning the felt seal snugly around the drum or cylinder front, ensuring it seats completely to prevent air leaks and reduce noise.
-
Always disconnect power from the dryer before servicing. If you are unsure of fit or installation, consult a maintenance technician.
