    Dryer staining clothes with brown streaks
    My kenmore series 90 dryer is leaving brown streaks (about 1-2 inches long, like a crayon mark) on my clothing. It looks like it may be coming from brown glue around the seal in the door. Anyone heard of this before? Is it worth replacing the door?

    Same problem. See following link, which indicates the problem is a worn or missing seal at the rear of the drum. This makes sense, as when I drag a white business card along the gap at the back of the drum, I get a brown stain on the card that matches the stains on the clothes. Just found the link, so cannot confirm the fix, but it is what I'm going to try.

    The referenced thread contains a link to a site that has instructions on how to replace the rear seal.

    I had the same thing with a whirl pool. Turned out it as rust stains. Which are hard to get out of clothes. Harde but not impossible.

    Change drum rollers, and seal locate at back edge of the drum.The gasket will come with high temp glue. Use heat gun to pull the old seal out.

    The problem is not a gasket its called a TOP and BOTTOM (Felt). It is around the front of the dryer drum. You will also need to replace the dryer drum and belt.
