Whirlpool Felt Seal Assembly WP31001747 OEM Part

Whirlpool oversees the production of a variety of products under its own brand and others, such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They additionally supply items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. In dryers, the felt seal on the drum facilitates smooth rotation with reduced friction. Should your dryer exhibit unusual noises, fail to tumble efficiently, extend drying times, produce insufficient heat, or not heat at all, replacing the felt seal could address these issues.

To proceed with replacing the felt seal, begin by detaching the dryer's front panel and removing the drum. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to unscrew the existing drum support wheels. When affixing the retaining clips, position them in front of the wheel shaft and secure them by snapping into place. Certain models accommodate this part for both front and rear seals. Ensure the dryer is disconnected from power before undertaking this task. Adhesive, which is sold separately, can be ordered with part number WPY055980.
