Hello,



I replaced the felt seals in the front and rear of the dryer. The drum turned fine before my repair, but now it turns very, very slowly. Any suggestions? Also, when putting in the felt seal, should it overlap at a tab or in between to prevent binding? Thanks for your help!

The model number on my Maytag is LDE7304ACE. In addition to replacing the felt drum seals, I replaced the drum wheels - one of which had fallen off the shaft. We used part no. 413820 - is this the rights seals for the front and back, but took them out when the drum was not turning and put in the old ones. Drum still won't turn though. Thanks for your help.

Here is a service manual

My first guess would be that your belt is not installed correctly

If the felts overlap you have to make sure they overlap in the correct direction.
Otherwise the lower felt can grab onto any seam or uneven area on the drum support.
