I was replacing the same dryer belt every six months for a customer in Maplewood

I kept thinking it was a bad batch of belts or a sharp pulley. The tip off was when the homeowner mentioned her son's hockey gear was always in the load before it snapped. I finally checked the felt seal on the drum, and it was completely gone, letting lint jam the whole works. Replaced that seal along with the belt, and it's been fine for over a year now. Has anyone else found a weird secondary cause for a common failure like that?

Maplewood must have a junior league team full of future NHL stars if their gear is eating dryer belts. That's a new one, I always blame the usual suspects like a worn idler pulley. Makes you wonder what other weird household things are secretly wrecking appliances, like maybe a teenager's jean studs grinding down a washer tub. You ever find a repair where the real cause was something totally random like that?

Nah, it's always just the usual worn parts.

Found a Lego jammed in mine once, @jordanh31.
