self-resetting internal cut-out which interrupts the electrical supply to the windings.
It is used together with a capacitor that is mounted on the base of the dryer.
Drum Rear Seal
This unit comprises of a ring of foam with a webbing bearing face. Lubrication is applied to the drum
where the webbing surface runs, to reduce noise and wear. The seal reduces air losses at the rear of
the drum. The joints in the foam are sealed with glue and the joints in the webbing are stitched to
further reduce air leakage.
