Simple repair
The product was good quality and easy to replace.. Video instruction was great but unfortunately replacing the felt seals didn't solve the loud vibrating metal noise. I ordered the drum bearing kit next which has not arrived.

easy repair
Felt works great- it was easy to install even for a semi-handy person. I've never done any work on a dryer before, but it went smoothly. No more marks on my clothing! I found it helpful to have a few small clamps (oversized clothespin could work too) to help hold the felt in place while it was drying.

Replaced upper and lower dryer drum felt strips due to ball/socket drum kit repair...
Replacing dryer drum felt strips was a bit tedious due to high heat glue residue...used sandpaper and scraper to remove some glue and felt material...suggest supplier giving half the amount of high heat glue supplied...there was enough high heat glue from one felt strip to replace two felt strips...also, replace one dryer drum felt strip at a time for alignment and length...if short on felt length just lightly pull on felt strip, which lengthens to fit...

A little harder than described.
Needed GooGone and a sharp scraper to remove all of the old seal.

Dryer squeek fix
The felt drum wear strip for the front door/panel worked as described, although the length was too short, even though compatability checks said it was the right one. I re-used a small length from the original, and the repair was complete. Ultimately the dryer was replaced because of loud squeeks unrelated to the drum wear strip. Service and shipping were excellent, even at 11 p.m. :)

Noisy.
Had scape upper felt off of the drum edge but had to use a hacksaw to cut off the three plastic plates that were riveted to the upper felt replacement part. The old part number was131469100.
Took the top dryer cabinet apart to replace all the above parts plus the dryer belt. Because of its age decide to replace all the parts from the above list. Three major problems: none of the video reviews showed this type of dryer. Some parts were practically impossible to get back together. Difficult getting the top square. The top
... Read more of the cabinet picture did not indicate how the top was to be installed. After 23 hours finally got it back together. Then it would not start. Discovered a wire had come loose. The dryer works fine now.
Followed directions of another website...had to replace ball and socket joint that attached the drum to the back frame of the dryer...removed top outside metal cover of dryer to facilitate attaching ball/socket kit to the drum...this allowed us to secure the ball/socket kit to the drum without cross threading the screws...with the top of
... Read moredryer removed this allows you to lift the drum to fit into the plastic bracket...dryer had been in use for over ten years before repair...extreme amount of lint debris throughout internal area of dryer...lint was everywhere...spent a large amount of time vacuuming lint...duct connection from lint trap to lint fan/impeller was very loose and over the years lint seeped out from connection...suggest using duct tape or wood/composite shims to hold the lint duct to the fan/impeller...make sure you remove lint from the back of drum crevice and around the area of the heating element for electric dryers...for sanity's sake this should be a two person job...for this repair we replaced the upper and lower drum felt strip, installed a complete and new ball/socket kit, replaced drum belt, and vacuumed and damp wiped the entire interior of the dryer...
Followed the video as my unit was exact model( Front Loader) Thank You for your quick ship to me here in Iowa as my repair was made in St. Louis. Parts came with in 2 days then drove to St. Louis with confidence. We purchased this set in 2003 and it is first repair on dryer. This in my rental unit. Thx
The repair requires the front panel to be removed. First remove the top by removing two screws in the back of the top panel. Once the top is removed, you have access to all of fasteners for the front panel. I removed the control panel to give myself more room. Simply remove the wire connectors on the panel and two connectors in the up

Once the screws are removed, pry the front panel from the machine since there are spring clips holding the panel to the machine. Once the front panel is removed, you have access to the guides and the felts.
Making a squiking noise and letting lint into the cavity of the dryer
pulled appliance away from wall and unplugged the electrical cord and then used putty knife to pop up the top. Then removed the screws that held the front in place. Disconnected the wire to the switch on the door and then front on a rug and used acetone and scraper to remove the old glue and felt. Cleaned the area thoroughly and apply

Drum making thumping noises, clothes getting caught behind drum.
I've always been a "do it yourselfer". If I can fix it, I save money. I took the dryer apart by lifting the top up like car hood. Then I removed the front panel. The front drum glide snapped into place easily where the other one had broken off. The felt strip that you sent was much shorter than the one on the dryer, so once I used the wir

My husband and son took the dryer apart by removing the top in order to get to the drum. Part of silver rim that the Drum Glide is attached to was broken,it had been cut somehow. They had to soder it back in place so they could attach the Drum Glide and so far it's working.

Really easy.

After replacing felt seals on dryer door, how long does the hi-temp sealant need to set up before putting the dryer door back on. And then how long before dryer can be used again?
Hello Candy, thank you for your question. This part should be left to cure for approximately 24 hours before using the appliance. I hope this helps!

The dryer drum does not rotate as freely as it once did. The dryer still works fine but i have to use a little pressure to turn the drum when it is off. Do i need to replace the dryer felt so that it runs freely again? Thanks! Darrell in north vancouver
For model number GLEQ332CAS1 or GLEQ332S1
Hello Darrell, thank you for your question. You can check the drum rollers, belt, felt seals and drum glide to be sure the drum is turning freely inside the unit. If those parts are fine, and you have to give the drum a little push for the motor to get enough power to turn the drum on its own, the motor itself would be the issue. I hope this helps!

Once the new felt gasket has been replacedhow long does hi-temp sealant need to set up before reinstalling the dryer door
Hello Candy, thank you for your question. The seal should be allowed to sit and cure for about 24 hours before using the unit. I hope this helps!

What is the difference between upper & lower front felts ? What is the lengths of each one ? (how long are they each) OR can you give me the specs.
For model number GLGR642AS3
Hello Doug, Thank you for your inquiry. The upper front felt seal is the shorter section designed to fit at the top edge of the drum support area and is approximately 17 inches long and 1 inch wide. The lower section is the longer section, approximately 47 1/8 inches long by 1 inch wide and is designed to fit the lower edge of the drum support area. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
