Duct felt seal (felt trap duct)

The duct felt seal allows the front of the drum to glide smoothly on the exterior panel while the drum is rotating. The seal is located between the back of the drum and the rear dryer panel. If the heat is escaping from the drum area causing the dryer to run too long or if there are marks on your clothes you many need to replace the duct felt seal. This is a genuine OEM part. Please remember to disconnect the power to your dryer before starting the repair.

Light bulb (lamp)

This 10W - 120V light bulb is used on the inside of your dryer to provide light when the door is open. It is clear in color and has a standard screw-in base. If your current bulb is burnt out or broken you will need to replace it. This bulb is a genuine OEM part and is sold individually.

This switch is multi purpose, for a dishwasher the switch is a simple on/off mechanism that prohibits the appliance from operating when the door is open. For a dryer, this switch will let the dryer know if the belt breaks and shut power off to the dryer. If your dryer will not operate or your dishwasher will not start you may need to replace the switch. This is a genuine OEM part. Please remember to disconnect the power to your appliance before starting your repair.
