This cylinder felt seal is used in dryers and is located between the back of the drum and the rear dryer panel. If your dryer is experiencing any of these symptoms, replacing the felt seal could solve your problem: squealing or banging noise, clothes are getting stuck between tub and felt pad, takes too long to dry, not heating enough or not heat at all, or does not tumble. The tools needed for this installation are a 5/16 nut driver and a putty knife. Make sure to unplug the dryer from the power source before beginning this project. Refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer for further instructions.

Replace front felt!
The parts came promptly (heat resistant glue and felt. Biggest time was spent cleaning out the old glue. To fit the felt around the rim it helped Gavin’s a couple more sets of hands to hold while glue set. Since then I have a like new dryer.

Not a good response
The part was the wrong part. Was approx 6 inches short. Couldn't use it so was a waste of money. Will never use you to order anything else.

Front Drum Seal became detatched.I Recommend replacing both seals.
Step by step, I removed the bottom front panel with a putty knife to compress the spring clamps, removed the inner lint trap, disconnected the door switch and springs and blower connection under the drum, removed the lint trap/ blower housing, remove nuts at bottom sides of door panel, lift top front of dryer (putty knife, spring clamps)
... Read moreto remove nuts at the top then removed the door panel. I then released the belt from the (spring) pulley and pulled the drum out. Pay attention to how the seals were put on! I removed the old seals and cleaned off the old adhesive with acetone and a steel scrubby( wear gloves when using acetone and when applying new adhesive, and work in a ventilated area!) Follow instructions for applying the adhesive for the seals. Put back together in reverse order. Repair successful!

Was not drying properly. Making a rubbing noise metal to metal sound.
First had to remove the front panel after lifting the top up on its hinges and supporting it. Diconnected wires to the front panel after marking them where they go.

Felt seal was shredded and glide bracket was worn through
The on-line video showed the dryer top being loosened from the front as the first step.

Next was the front guide panel - four screws. The glide brackets bolted to this panel

Thanks to this website we were able to not only find the parts, but a video that told us how to take the dryer apart.

We were able to file the sharp parts dull and install the brackets, felt pads, and

Very easy repair. I took off the bottom fromt panel with a nut driver. Then I took off the face/door panel. Take note of the wires that need to come off by marking them with a sharpie or tape. The top of the dryer can be stood up to allow access to the ductwork that has the felt pad on it. The felt pad was worn through in spots, the

I scraped the old glue for the felt off with a knife and cleaned and dried the surface before applying the hi temp adhesive. I waited 1 minute while the glue became tacky (be careful, the glue starts out thin and tends to run) and the felt pad was easily put back in place with my wife's help. Everything was very simple and it cost $87.00 for parts and shipping. I felt that this should be a good investment since I have had no other problems with this dryer and this is normal wear and tear. Better than paying $600+ for a new dryer. The video for changing the felt pad was very detailed and easy to follow as well.
As it turned out, the felt was only part of the problem. The guide bracket had been cut thru by the drum. This all started when a golf tee got stuck in the drum area. It took very little time to destroy the guide bracket. Dryer was built by Whirlpool. Parts are built to the bare minimum. These appliances are designed to break in a c

First, I unplugged the dryer. Then I used a flat screw driver to pop the top open. I removed 2 bolts from the front cover and removed the front door cover.

With the access panel open, I attached the belt to the motor. I then plugged it back in and turned it on to verify operation pryor to snapping the top cover back in place. Very easy repair.

I have a Maytag dryer.. are clothes are getting stuck in the front part of the dryer.. it's ripping them & getting black marks on them.. do i need to get a cylinder felt seal for the front???
For model number MDET336AYW
Hello Elisha, thank you for contacting us. That does sound like it could be the felt seal. You may also want to check the lint duct assembly. The part the lint trap goes in and make sure there is nothing there that can catch on clothes or looks worn down. Good luck with the repair!
I need a front felt seal but can not find it help plz

I need to replace the front felt seal on the drum. This part is listed in the diagram as being in the front bulkhead assembly but the description says it's the rear. Can i use this on the front or is there another part?
For model number Ale643raw
Hi Kathryn, thank you for your question. Looking at your model the felt seals on both the back and the front are the same type, so yes, this part would also work on the front of your drum there. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

The dryer felt seal for the drum came out and was twisted beyond repair. Will the dryer run ok if this seal is not replaced?
For model number MDG3706AWW
Hello Jack, thank you for your question. It would be recommended to replace it if it is damaged, as not having one could lead to your clothes getting caught up inside the dryer or a squealing or banging noise. It could also lead to a lack of heat in the dryer. We hope this answers your question.

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for the question.Here is a link to the video on the repair. It should help determine how to install the new seal. Good luck with the repair!

When you turn on the clothes dryer there is a loud squealing "er, er, er" noise which at first would go away once the dryer was going but lately it comes and goes so getting worse. Looks like the front felt seal is worn and drum is shiny where the felt seal is worn. Should one replace both the front and rear felt seals while the unit is apart? Anything else needing repair that could be causing this? Thanks.
For model number Maytag Neptune dryer
Hello Lyle, Thank you for your inquiry. We do recommend changing both the front and rear felt seals. You should also check the drum glides, belt and rollers. For more specific information, may we confirm the model number of your dryer? We look forward to hearing from you.
