I Have a stackable unit. The dryer had some piece of metal/wire tear off of it. I think it was/is something that held the felt piece in place. I believe it was attached to the back of the drum. I know I need a new felt piece, but what about this piece of wire.

well depending on the brand some brands use a felt seal in the rear and front of drum to seal against the door shroud overtime the felt wears down and clothing get snagged in the gap as the drum turns and tears clothing....

Without seeing the pieces of metal I would think that they came from the front bulkhead, which is what supports the front of the drum,if it has made the surface of the bulkhead rough it will need to be replaced along with the front seal....

The drum of a dryer is supported b the front and back of the unit, spins on a felt gasket. Noise is coming from rollers or their is something stuck between drum and the felts. The pulley is a piece of springy metal with a plastic wheel on it, could also be worn. If you take off front of dryer, drum will come loose, check to see if something is stuck. Common for loose change to get jambed in felts. Also spin rollers and pulley to see if need to be replaced. I still think something is caught in felt.

Try to move the drum manually. if unable to run your hand along the front of drum where it meets the front panel....there are two pieces of felt. something has either gotten stuck there or something has gotten stuck in the blower housing.

hi..
When your dryer drum isn’t turning anymore, it’s usually a broken belt. Tearing the dryer apart is usually straight-forward enough but stringing the new belt on the motor and idler pulley can be tricky. The Complete Encyclopedia of Dryer Belt Configurations shows the belt configurations for almost every dryer brand you can think of.

this will fix ur problem..
thank u rate me

some where there's somthing of the drum draging metal to metal.could be the drum glides are worn or the felt seal.you need to remove the front and pull the drum and inspect.unplug unit before tring.if need more help you can email. God bless ,tom ps the stains are the metal shavings ground to a pulp

unclear as to the exact part your looking for, the dryer, should have a 4" hole out the back of the unit in which you install a standard 4"venting which is available a any large hardware/ home improvement store

there is uaually a rubber or composite gasket that fits inside the dryer drum with the front cover in place. the "rollers" as you call it is just pieces of felt glued to theexternal drum and front face and are the drum bearings. check appliance repair parts for the proper gasket and how to mount it to your front panel.
