Common Symptoms

  • Noisy operation from worn front bearing or seal contact
  • Brown marks on clothing from items being caught near a damaged seal
  • Clothing becoming pinched at the drum opening
  • Hot air escaping at the drum opening
  • Longer or less-effective drying cycles caused by a deteriorated seal

Check Before Replacing

  • Disconnect electrical power before inspection.
  • With the dryer unloaded and power disconnected, inspect the front felt seal and bearing for compression, fraying, gaps, displacement, or visible wear.
  • Check the drum opening and clothing for brown marks or evidence that garments are being caught at the front seal.
  • Rotate the unloaded drum by hand and note abnormal scraping or resistance; do not treat this observation alone as a confirmed diagnosis.
  • If the dryer is noisy, inspect other possible noise sources such as drum rollers and the idler pulley before replacing this kit.

Pro Tip

A worn seal may cause brown marks because clothing can become caught near the drum opening; this is different from an oil leak. Confirm that the noise or clothing damage is localized to the front bearing/seal area before replacing the kit.
