Whirlpool Dryer Drum Felt Seal WP33001807 OEM Part

The Dryer Drum Felt Seal is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component specifically crafted for Whirlpool dryer models. Its primary function is to create a seal around the drum, preventing the escape of hot air to enhance drying efficiency. Furthermore, it plays a pivotal role in reducing noise and vibration, thereby improving the dryer's performance. The seal is strategically placed along the drum's edges to ensure it fits securely.<br /><br />Over time, the felt seal can wear down due to frequent use, prolonged heat exposure, or excessive dryer loads. Indications that it may require replacement include persistently damp clothing post-cycle, increased lint accumulation near the filter, visible separations between the drum and dryer door, or atypical noises and thumping sounds during operation.<br /><br />This component is compatible with several brands under the Whirlpool umbrella, such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Roper. It also fits appliances from Kenmore/Sears and Norge. For those needing installation adhesive, the part number WPY055980 is available for procurement.<br /><br />Whirlpool produces a diverse range of products under various brand names, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, and it also supplies items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.
