Function & Importance

The drum felt seal forms a protective barrier between the rotating drum and the stationary dryer frame. This helps maintain proper airflow, prevents lint buildup in unwanted areas, and stops clothing from snagging. Over time, the felt seal can wear down, causing reduced efficiency, overheating, or clothing damage.

Common Signs the Felt Seal Needs Replacement

• Clothes getting torn or frayed during drying

• Burning smell caused by friction between metal parts

• Dryer taking longer than usual to dry clothes

• Visible wear, fraying, or separation of the existing seal

Replacing the felt seal helps restore optimal performance and protects both the drum and clothing.
