Whirlpool WP33001807 Dryer Drum Felt Seal OEM Part

My dryer was making a squealing noise when operated. In researching the fix, I came upon your website through Google. I found your videos for repairs very good. The videos also told me how well the Maytag dryer is engineered. I purchased some of the parts as preventive maintenance, such as the belt, and tumbler bearing kit. It was a good thing that I bought two felt seals when I did. Both were in terrible condition. I believe my rear felt seal was not installed properly when originally manufactured. The worst part because of the blown felt seals, lint had gotten all over the inside of the dryer. Most of the repair time was spent cleaning up. You are missing the rear seal replacement from your video series. It is better for you to remove the rear bulkhead to replace the rear seal. The second part involves making sure the over-connection end points of the felt seals are really secured. When installing my drum again in the dryer, it knocked the felt seal out of the clamp at the cross-over points. The third part involves making sure both felt seals are outside the drum. When you are reinstalling the front bulkhead on the drum, the felt seals may have gotten inside the drum for both the front and rear seals. BTW, the felt seals should be on the outside of the drum. Don't worry if the felt seal is inside the drum when assembling everything. Take your fingers and run it into and around the gap where the drum rests. You can tell when the felt seal is on the outside the drum and inside the drum. You should be able to poke the felt seal if it is inside the drum to the outside of the drum with your fingers. Do this for both felt seals. Your fingers should be able to go around the gap with no stoppage. At this point, you can tell that the felt seal is in the correct position.

After watching the videos online that Appliance Parts Pros provided, I decided to tackle the project myself. It was as simple as removing the door and front cover of the dryer and removing the drum. I then placed a new front seal to the front cover. Appliance Parts Pros made the job so easy. Great tutorial videos, best prices, and the fastest shipping I have seen from an Internet business. Thank you!!!

Easy fix like the repair video sent with shipping info

Ordered rollers, bearing, felt seals, axles, clips and belt. Watched repair videos on Youtube and fixed it in about 3 hours. TOok long cause I cleaned out the inside and the piping through the wall to insure all the lint was out of the pipes and dryer.

After reviewing your website for possible causes, and disassemble procedures, I disassembled the dryer unit. I found a lot of dirt but, also found a bad guide wheel that support the drum, the bearing in on the motor unit were leaking oil, and the blower wheel D shaft was worn out of shape causing the wheel to hit the housing. Also the original belt had air checking cracks which made sense to replace it. I decided to replace the thermostat per your website recommendation for solving over- heating. The felt seal on the front of the drum was damaged so I included a replacement in my order and installed a new seal. After receiving all of the necessary parts I performed the reassembly of the unit. After installing all of the parts I did a trial run and the belt jumped off the motor axle. After some fun reinstalling the belt properly I test ran the unit. Whoa it sounds like new. Oh but then a slight rattle noise started, I suspect because I did not replace the new drum roller axle that I purchased for the new drum roller. The noise seems to have decreased after multiple cycles, but I plan on disassembling the unit and installing the part. Over all the dryer is working like new, including the over heating issue seems to be solved too. Thank you for the great source of parts and installation videos.
