Replaces a cracked, broken, or missing dryer drum baffle. Installs inside the drum to lift and tumble clothes during the drying cycle. Easy repair.

The Door Seal is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool dryers. It works to create an airtight seal between the dryer door opening and drum interior. During operation, heated air and moisture are contained within the drum thanks to this crucial seal. 

Symptoms of a worn door seal include:

• Increased drying time due to air leaks
• Clothes not drying completely before end of cycle  
• Excess humidity escaping into home
• Discoloration or residue buildup on door glass

Causes of failure are normal wear and compression over extended use, or damage from improper door closure. A worn seal degrades efficiency and performance of the dryer.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
