This drum seal with a silicone rubber adhesive is used in dryers. This part seals the drum to make sure air does not escape from the dryer. If your dryer is making loud noises, is not producing enough heat, or no heat at all, or there are marks left on your clothes, replacing the seal on your dryer can solve the problem. The tools needed for this installation project are: 1/4 inch nut driver, Phillips screwdriver, small flat blade screwdriver, and putty knife. Remember to unplug your dryer from the power source before beginning this installation project. Refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer for installation instructions.

Felt replacement
Not too bad with u-tube. Maybe some small instructions should come with part on which way it is installed and how much glue to use.
I wish I would’ve been talked into a full kit with both sides and I probably would’ve bought that but once it was a part I just replace the one side.

Simple installation. Fit perfect
All parts from partselect always fit well. My kemore drier needed new seals and this did not disappoint. Stretched perfectly as I glued it to my drum. Quick dry and sealed them drum like new.

My dryer has 2 of these seals. These seals should be sold as 2 per package. I replaced both of them. My dryer works like it's new again.

Old. Original heat seal was deteriorated and peeling off. Streaks were getting on the clothes.

Annoying loud metal to metal screeching noise.
Took the front part of the dryer out, released tension on the idler pulley, took the drum out, and remove the old drum seal. Make sure you remove the old adhesive with sandpaper or wire brush. Put the new adhesive on the seal, not on the drum. Adhesive is very runny. Seal may need to be stretched to fit the drum. Set the seal on the drum

Then went to work cleaning the inside of the dryer with an air compressor. Rollers were next, poped the retainers and slide old ones off whiped the studs with a rag and put new ones on. Did the same with the belt tensioner pulley that came with the kit. Installed the new door switch and reassembled the dryer. Works great again, quiet etc. Easy fix and glad I ordered the kit.
Used my Whirlpool Dryer User Instructions Manual and followed instructions and used the Cabinet Parts page to see the diagrams.

Does this kit do both the front and rear felt seals on the drum, or do you need two kits?
For model number 11076934690
Hi Chris, Thank you for the great question. This kit is just one seal with one tube of adhesive, if you are replacing both front and rear seals you will need to order two kits. Good luck with the repair!

My dryer seal on the door is not glued down in one small section. Can I use the adhesive glue to glue down loose section or do I have to replace entire seal? Old, used, dryer. Not worth putting a lot of money into.
For model number GEQ9800PW2
Hello Patricia, Thank you for the question. You can use a High Temperature silicone rubber adhesive used in dryers to reattach that section of the seal. We hope this helps.

I found this seal that came loose inside the drum. Does that mean i need to replace the seal on inside of the back of the drum in that groove and not the outside of the drum?
For model number LEQ8611LG0
Hello Dan, thank you for your question. The felt seal at the back of the drum wraps around the lip. So the one seal seals the inside and outside of the drum. I hope this helps.

Loud screeching noise when turn on. Replaced the rollers, idler pulley and belt, however still screeching. How can I be sure it is the Rear Drum Felt vs the actual motor screeching? I read somewhere that the bearings in the motor can also cause noise.
For model number LER8648PG0
Hello Angela, Thank you for the question. The only way to know for sure is to remove the old felt and check for wear. We also suggest checking the Two-Piece Split Ring Bearing at the front of the drum. 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!
