I have model # MDE508DAYW Maytag dryer just over 1 year old. Sunday my wife put to large rugs in to dry and now it is making a lot of noise even with nothing in the dryer. I assume we have killed the felt seals/bearings. Do you have a link to a manual, or any tips on changing these seals? Also, could we have hurt anything else on the dryer. When I freespin the drum you can feel and hear the drum dragging.....Thanks in advance.

Ok, I broke the thing down and found one of the glide brackets had brocken....ordered a replacement but in the process I found a small pad/bumper that had fallen into the bottom of the unit while I was braking it down. It is about 1" by 1/2". I do not know where this thing goes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You probably are talking about a felt pad which goes under the glide.

- The part number for the felt pad is AP4054017

Thanks for the reply.....are you talking about under the felt glide on the front of the drum? Or possibly you could be more specific. Thanks in advance

Yes, this is the felt which goes under the glide.
