What happens when dryer drum seals wear

In a dryer, the drum turns against seals at its front and back edges. Those seals keep warm air flowing through the clothes and out through the filter, and stop the drum rubbing on the panels. As they wear thin or come loose, you may hear squealing or scraping as the drum turns, find lint escaping around the door or behind the drum, see clothes caught at the drum edge, or notice drying takes longer. Fabric can also get marked or pinched in the gap.

Fitting new drum seals

Unplug the dryer before opening any panels. Getting to the drum seals usually means removing the front or top panel and lifting the drum out, so photograph the belt route and wiring as you go. Clean lint and any old adhesive from the seal faces, fit the new seals exactly where the old ones sat, then rebuild and run the dryer empty to check it turns quietly.

Questions about this part

Why is my dryer squealing?

Worn drum seals are a common cause, as the drum starts rubbing metal on metal or on hardened seal material. Worn drum rollers, bearings or an idler pulley can also squeal, so check them while the dryer is apart.
