3.3. Seal Replacement Procedure

1. Carefully remove the dryer drum from the appliance. This step often requires two people due to the drum's size and weight.
2. Locate the old dryer seal on the drum. It will likely be worn or damaged.
3. Remove the old seal completely, ensuring any old adhesive or residue is cleaned from the drum's edge.

4. Prinsip Operasi

The dryer drum seal, also known as a felt seal, creates a tight barrier between the rotating dryer drum and the stationary front and rear bulkheads of the dryer. This seal prevents heat and air from escaping the drum, ensuring efficient drying and preventing clothes from getting caught in gaps. A properly installed seal minimizes noise and maximizes drying performance.

5. Penyelenggaraan dan Penjagaan

Regular inspection of your dryer seal can help identify wear before it causes significant issues.

• Pemeriksaan Visual: Periodically check the seal for signs of wear, fraying, tears, or hardening. This can be done by carefully inspecting the edges of the drum where the seal is visible.
• Pembersihan: Keep the area around the seal free from lint and debris. Excessive lint buildup can cause friction and accelerate wear.
• Penggantian: If the seal shows significant signs of wear or damage, it should be replaced promptly to maintain dryer efficiency and prevent further damage to the appliance.
