This air duct seal creates a tight barrier between the dryer's lint housing and cabinet. Replacing a worn seal helps prevent air leaks, maintain proper airflow through the lint filter, and restore consistent drying performance.
- Seals the air duct/lint housing to the front panel to direct airflow through the lint screen and drum
- Helps maintain dryer efficiency and temperature control by preventing bypass air leaks
- Common symptoms of a failed seal include longer dry times, weak exhaust airflow, excess lint inside the cabinet, or lint around the door opening
- Replaces a deteriorated or missing seal to restore the intended air path
What's included: 1 air duct seal Install notes:
- Disconnect power; shut off gas supply for gas models
- Access the air duct by removing the lint screen and top/front panels as needed
- Remove the old seal and any residue; clean mating surfaces before installing the new seal
- Seat the duct evenly against the panel when reassembling to ensure a uniform seal
