If you notice white fur or powder-like pieces in your dryer, they are likely remnants of the felt seal.
Positioned between the drum and the rear drum of the dryer, the felt seal serves to reduce friction caused by metal-on-metal contact, thereby minimizing noise.
While other materials such as rubber and sponge can also reduce friction, polyester-wool felt is chosen as it closely mimics clothing material.
Additionally, the felt seal enhances drying performance as wool is effective in sealing in moisture and warm air.
