Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Clothing or lint entering the space between the drum and dryer cabinet
• Scraping or rubbing noise during drum rotation
• Longer-than-normal drying times from reduced airflow efficiency
• Dryer vibration or shaking when the seal is worn or damaged
• Possible clothing damage at the drum opening

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect power before inspection.
• With the dryer empty and cool, visually inspect the exposed front felt seal for fraying, tears, missing sections, compression, or separation.
• Slowly rotate the drum by hand and listen or feel for rubbing at the front opening; do not operate the dryer with panels removed.
• Check whether clothing or lint is collecting between the drum and cabinet.
• Confirm that the suspected seal is the front seal; the rear felt seal is a different component on applicable models.
• Verify the replacement against the appliance model before ordering or installation.
