My clothes dryer regularly gets small pieces of clothing such as collar
corners or waist band ties, and slippery pieces such as rayon overskirts and
nylon slips caught in between the drum and the front of the dryer. This
always results in a burned item. It also regularly snags bra hooks,
zippers, and buttons in the same area, ripping them off or twisting to the
point of being unusable. It may be perception but it seems this is
increasing in frequency.

In looking online, and with extremely little knowledge about this, it seems
this may be a problem with a front seal? The dryer is approx 3.5 years old,
electric GE extra large capacity-model DVL223EAOWW. Is this a reasonable
amount of time for this part to need to be replaced? Could it be something
else? Is replacing the front seal, or other repair a possible DIY? No
knowledge of appliance repair, but can follow instructions extremely well.
Thanks!
