Default Dryer eating clothes!!???!!

...
My front loading dryer is about 5 years old but has been heavily used. It

has
started to pull clothes up into the gap between the drum and the front

panel.
This is combined with the fact that the felt seal around the front panel

on the
inside has lost a chunk of felt towards the inside of the dryer, so that

the
clothes that get pulled up end up getting rubbed until there is a hole

worn in
them. Needless to say my wife is not happy about this and wants to buy a

new
dryer. I contend that this may be fixable (by me). So my questions a
1. How can I close the gap between the drum and the front panel so that

the
clothes do not get stuck in there and/or
2. How can I replace the felt seal around the front panel - it appears to

be
glued on and the plastic tabs all broke off.
Thanks for any help you can provide to save me some dough!
Thanks
Bob


I've always found at least one friendly appliance repair / parts shop in
every city. If you bring the make, model and serial number with you and
explain the problem there are often repair kits available. Other than your
machine is five years old there isn't much to go on, but there are
replacement bearing, glides and seals to solve your problem. If local
doesn't work try http://appliancerepair.com/ .

Happy modeming,
