Whirlpool Dryer Drum Felt Seal WP37001132 OEM Part

Whirlpool is responsible for producing an array of appliance brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also manufacture products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Within this lineup, the Dryer Drum Felt Seal serves as an OEM replacement part specifically engineered for Whirlpool dryers. Its primary function is to sit between the drum and the dryer's rear panel, effectively sealing out air leaks.

Replacing this component may be necessary if your dryer exhibits symptoms such as unusual squealing or banging noises, garments getting trapped between the drum and the felt pad, extended drying periods, inadequate heating, or failure to tumble.

The seal's dimensions are approximately 36 inches in length and 1 inch in width, and it does not come with adhesive for installation. To complete the installation, you will require a 5/16 nut driver and a putty knife. It is crucial to disconnect the dryer from the power source before beginning any repairs. For step-by-step installation guidance, please consult the manufacturer's manual. This seal is compatible with numerous Whirlpool models, including those from Admiral, Amana, Kenmore, Magic Chef, Maytag, and Speed Queen.

For adhesive purposes, part number WPY055980 should be ordered.

This component effectively resolves issues such as fabric marks left on clothing.
