The fabric seal in the front of the drum of my 3 1/2 yr old Maytag Neptune dryer is falling out. The repairman Maytag sent out says the simple part is only available by buying $350 drum assembly. Over $500 to repair with labor. Can another seal be used? Is this something we could do ourselves?
Give this site a try. Some guy on the forum had the Neptune issue and found a replacement seal. There are some how-to videos on YouTube(may not be your specific dryer, but same idea.) I'll let you have the joy of looking on YT.

I had a similar problem with the fab. softener chamber. Clean
out the buildup and it will drain. To do this, remove the cap and wipe out the softener. Also, be sure to wipe inside the drum, just below the dispenser.
As for a water flow to the dispenser- You will need to remove the plastic portion of the lid. Start with the detergent dispenser, then gently remove the bottom corners of the lid. Then are held by two plastic clasps. Then gently remove the "L" shaped plastic holders. Use a pipe cleaner to clean out the tube where the water flows directly out of the unit, before entering the lid. I did this last night, and it works beautifully!

They told me the same thing. I just can't believe that the whole drum needs to be replaced. Surely just the felt gasket can be purchased?!
