Remove the front panel on the dryer, and disconnect wires. Pull off old seal, and clean mounting location with putty knife and wire brush. Glue on new seal, and reassemble the dryer. Allow many hours of dry time before trying the dryer again.

Aimee from CA
Problem
Loud clunking noise in dryer.
Tools
Scraper, acetone.
Repair & Advice
Dryer top and bottom felt and inner seal replaced. Bottom felt was so worn down that tub was rubbing on the frame causing clothes to get stuck and then the clunking. Need to scrap all old adhesive off, acetone helps loosen it. Use plenty of adhesive on the new seals. When putting back together, but front frame on first to get felt lined up in tub since it is higher before reconnecting belt. Replaced belt and rear bearing assembly also since it was open.
