The door opening flange in the front panel forms the
support for the front felt drum seal and bearing. The
front bearing is a Teflon-impregnated felt that needs
no lubrication. The bearing is held in place by plas-
tic plugs and seal cement.
(Fig. 3-9)
The front bearing race on the drum is composed of
a two part pliable plastic ring. These components
can be replaced by grasping the ring from inside
the drum and pulling down to release the tab at the
center holding it to the drum. Once one of the tabs
is free the remaining two tabs will easily snap out of
the drum.
