Whirlpool WP31001747 Dryer Drum Felt Seal

The Whirlpool WP31001747 Dryer Drum Felt Seal is a critical component in your clothes dryer that enables fast drying while also protecting the machine's interior workings. This felt seal, located between the dryer drum and its housing, forms a tight barrier to prevent air leaks. This, in turn, enables for efficient airflow circulation during the drying process. Reduced energy use and quicker drying periods result from efficient airflow, which lowers your utility costs. The felt seal also keeps debris and lint from exiting the drum cavity, keeping the inside of your dryer clean and in good working order. A worn-out felt seal can cause longer drying periods, higher energy bills, and lint buildup inside the dryer, thereby affecting performance and posing a fire hazard.
