Whirlpool WP314820 SEAL-TUMBLER

Whirlpool WP314820 Dryer Drum Felt Seal

Genuine OEM Whirlpool WP314820 drum felt seal for Whirlpool, Maytag, and Jenn-Air clothes dryers. This felt seal fits between the front bulkhead and the rotating dryer drum, sealing in heat and preventing lint and debris from escaping around the drum opening. Over time the felt wears down or becomes compressed, causing heat loss, longer dry times, and lint leaking out around the drum.
