Lg 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.

This door gasket seals the dryer door opening to keep heat and moisture inside the drum. Replacing a worn gasket helps restore proper airflow and drying performance while reducing lint and warm air leaking around the door.

• Creates a tight seal between the door and front panel to prevent air leaks
• Helps maintain correct airflow for efficient, consistent drying
• Reduces escaping heat and humidity around the door area
• Common signs it's failing: visible wear or tears, flattened/compressed gasket, lint accumulation near the door, longer dry times, warm air leaking when the door is closed

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Remove the door assembly as needed and separate door panels to access the gasket (procedure varies by model)
• Remove the old gasket and clean the mating groove/surface of residue and debris
• Press the new gasket fully and evenly into place; align the seam, reassemble the door, and verify an even seal

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.

Causes of a bad drum seal can include cracks or breaks from heat cycling over time, hardening and failure of rubber seal materials, or physical damage from cleaning tools or debris inside the drum.

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.

Replacement door gasket that seals the refrigerator/freezer door to help keep cold air in, reduce energy loss, and maintain consistent temperatures for stored food. What it does

• Forms an airtight seal around the door to prevent warm air from entering the compartment.
• Helps maintain even cooling and prevents frost or ice buildup caused by air leaks.
• Can reduce running time and energy use when the original gasket is torn, warped, or no longer seals.
• Common symptoms of a failing gasket: visible gaps, condensation or frost at the door, uneven temperatures, or increased energy use.

• Disconnect power to the appliance and remove food from affected areas before beginning work.
• Inspect the door frame for dirt or debris and clean mating surfaces before installing the new gasket.
• Align the gasket to the door and seat it fully—follow OEM alignment steps for your model; if the gasket is stiff, warm it slightly per OEM guidance to help fit.
