Kenmore Elite Dryer Gasket & Seal

The Drum Seal is an OEM part for LG dryers. This part ensures a tight seal between the dryer drum and the dryer body, preventing hot air from escaping and maintaining the efficiency of the drying process. A well-functioning drum seal is important for the best dryer performance, contributing to energy efficiency and the prevention of unnecessary wear on clothing during the drying cycle.

Causes of a bad drum seal can range from natural wear and tear over time to overloading the dryer, which can strain and stretch the seal, leading to a poor fit.  

Symptoms of a bad Drum Seal include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry
• Increased energy usage due to loss of heat
• Excessive lint and debris outside of the lint filter area
• A noticeable gap between the dryer drum and the dryer body

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Door Seal is an OEM part for LG dryers. It forms a tight seal around the dryer door, preventing heat and moisture from escaping during the drying cycle, which ensures efficient drying and energy use.

Causes of a bad door seal can include wear and tear from regular use, damage from repeated opening and closing of the dryer door, or degradation from exposure to heat and moisture over time. A compromised door seal can lead to longer drying times and increased energy consumption.

Symptoms of a bad door seal include:

• Heat and moisture escaping from the dryer door
• Longer drying times
• Clothes not drying completely
• Visible cracks, tears, or wear on the seal

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Drum Seal is an OEM part for LG dryers. It forms an airtight seal between the rotating drum and stationary outer housing. This seal prevents air leakage that could diminish drying effectiveness.

Symptoms of a bad drum seal include:

• Slow or incomplete drying times
• Clothes not feeling fully dry at the end of cycles
• Excessively long heating cycles
• Noticeable air drafts around the dryer housing

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.
