Are special seals and glues needed for replacing the felt and foam seals in clothes dryers?
i can understand why the felt seals at the ends of the drum are speciality items. However the felt and sponge seals around things that don't move look like ordinary weather stripping material. Sites selling dryer parts refer to using "high temperature glue". Are any typical glues like Goop household glue considered high temperature glues?
In the dryer I'm looking at ( Kenmore 90 series) I wonder why they don't use caulk to seal around the circular opening on the front of the dryer. That part of the assembly can't be taken apart.
