Genuine Whirlpool high-temperature silicone adhesive/sealant used to secure and seal appliance components, including dryer felt drum seals and door gaskets. The part is also cataloged for other appliance categories.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Visible separation or lifting of a dryer felt seal or gasket from its mounting surface
• Air or lint escaping around a detached dryer drum seal
• Rubbing or scraping that begins after a felt seal shifts out of position
• Water leakage at an appliance joint where the sealant bond has failed

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect power before accessing internal appliance components.
• Visually inspect the applicable felt seal or gasket for lifting, separation, gaps, residue, or displacement.
• Check whether the seal remains evenly seated around its intended mounting surface without entering the drum path.
• Inspect the mating surfaces for old adhesive, oil, grease, lint, or other contamination; the surfaces should be clean and dry before bonding.
• If the seal is intact and firmly bonded, investigate other components rather than applying additional sealant.
