Additional Information

This drum felt seal (part number 280140) is a crucial component for the proper functioning of your dryer. It minimizes friction between the drum and the front panel, facilitating smooth rotation. This not only helps in maintaining optimal drying performance but also reduces noise during operation. Common issues resolved by replacing this part include loud noises during drying cycles and inefficient drying.

For your safety, ensure that the dryer is unplugged before beginning installation. Wearing work gloves will protect your hands during the installation process, which involves removing the dryer front panel and fitting the new seal in place of the old one.

Right product for a reasonable price

This felt seal fit as expected and came with the adhesive. My husband had the felt applied to the drum within 30 minutes. We let the adhesive dry overnight before reinstalling the drum in the dryer.

Fit perfectly worked out well
June 01, 2021

Not an easy job, luckily I had my kids to help me out. I would recommend taking a video or photos of the step by step method of opening & disassembling of the dryer so you could trace it all back when you try to put it back together again. Likewise, make sure that you let the glue cure for 24 hours before running/testing the dryer if it spins properly.

The felt seal was identical to original and was easy to install with the aid of a youtube video. Very few steps involved. Dryer works like new now.
