Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
The front lower drum seal is used in the assembly of dryers. This seal helps keep your appliance running quietly. It allows the drum to smoothly rotate on the front panel. If you notice brown marks on your clothing, if the dry cycle is taking long, or if there are unusually loud noises, the seal might be worn down. If that is the case, you will need to replace the seal. This replacement part is made out of felt. The high temperature adhesive required to install this seal is sold separately. Before you begin any repair work, make sure the appliance has been unplugged.

The online descriptions were very helpful. I used a wooden kitchen fork to pry open the top of the dryer from the front, about 3 inches in from each side. Two metal springs hold the lid.

It really is easy to do. Celebrate.
I followed the directions that came with the new Drum Glide kit. Unplugged the machine from the wall outlet. Raised the top of the machine which only required releasing the front top clips.

Used the adhesive that came in the kit to put the new glide and lower basket seal on. I used small clamps to ensure a good fit as the adhesive cured. Then I put the front cover on raising the drum in the front to allow it to fit into the front cover. The rest was the reverse of what I did to remove the cover. I feel this is an ease repair. The hardest part is cleaning the old adhesive off.
Once in a while a piece of clothing would get stuck between the dryer tumbler and the frame around it, it would leave a burn mark on the piece of clothing that got stuck.
I noticed that the dryer drum had some free play and would allow the clothing to get lodged between the drum and the frame around it. I popped the top off the dryer and found that the lining on top of the frame work that carries the drum was woren out.

There is a big gap at the top of the front seal. Clothes have gotten stuck and it smells like something is burning. Do I need a new front lower seal?
For model number FSE748GFS1
Hi Kevin,
Thank you for your question. If there is a gap at the top and the clothes are getting stuck and you have a burning smell, the seal may be worn and you will need to replace it. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I need to replace both: Upper Drum Glide part #PS470317 and Front Lower Drum Seal part #PS460194 on Kenmore Dryer.
Upper Drum Glide comes with adhesive. Will this adhesive cover putting on both the glide top portion and the lower felt?
For model number 970C8004200
Hello Sergiy, thank you for your question. Yes, the High Temperature Adhesive 5308027429 should be enough to cover both the upper and lower felt pieces. We are pleased to have been able to help.

Regarding the scorching of clothes, isn't there a thermostat in the dryer that can be adjusted to either run the dryer hotter or cooler?
For model number FDE336RES2
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your question. The temperature on your dryer cannot be adjusted. For information on each dryer setting for your dryer, you will need to consult your owner's manual. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I'm getting scorch marks on clothing when using this dryer. Also, the metal rotating drum is very hot to touch. A dryer has to be hot to dry clothes, but is it normal that the inside of the drum, wherein the clothes are placed, is so hot that one could burn their finger if the metal was touched at the end of the drying cycle? It definitely isn't normal that clothes are being scorched! What part do i need to replace to fix this issue?
For model number FDE336RES2
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your question. If your dryer is getting too hot, your dryer may be running to hot because of a clogged vent. It may also be running too hot, if you are overloading the dryer. This can also lead to scorch marks on your clothes because the dryer cannot tumble properly and the clothes stay in contact with the heated drum. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
