You can see where one roller was spinning the shaft and caused wear. I think it will be okay, but wanted to get your opinions. The new felt seal for these do not have the lighter side like the book says, lol.

That felt seal looks similar to the one I installed on my Maytag DG606 back in the spring of 2019. Wouldn’t be surprised if Maytag just ended up using those felt seals on the SOH dryers despite them being completely different from the HOH’s. Probably re-used them since that’s what was in the parts bin so to speak.

The book says to lube these roller shafts on the rear bulkhead with s.b.l. oil. 55975 I think, but I cannot find a aftertaste, anywhere of what that is. LoL
