Whirlpool 279735 Dryer Seal

The Whirlpool 279735 Dryer Seal is an integral part that makes certain your dryer operates efficiently. It is a felt seal that forms a tight barrier between the back of the dryer drum and the rear panel. This provides a sealed atmosphere in which hot air circulates within the drum, effectively drying your clothes. Without a suitable seal, heated air might escape, increasing drying periods and consuming more energy. In some circumstances, moisture may also leak out, potentially leading to mold growth. The seal, located at the rear of the drum, serves as a barrier between the drum and the dryer's interior housing. As the drum spins, the seal prevents air leaks and keeps hot air moving inside the drum space.
