Description

This seal sits between the dryer's blower housing and its cover to keep the air path tight. Replacing a crushed or torn seal helps restore proper airflow and drying performance while minimizing lint leakage inside the cabinet.

• Creates an airtight joint between the blower housing and cover
• Helps prevent air leaks that lead to longer dry times
• Helps keep lint contained within the exhaust path
• Replace if the original seal is torn, flattened, deteriorated, or missing

What's included: 1 blower cover seal

• Disconnect power; for gas models, shut off gas and allow the dryer to cool
• Access the blower housing (typically behind the lower front panel)
• Clean mating surfaces; install the new seal evenly around the perimeter with no gaps
• Reassemble and verify strong, unobstructed airflow at the exhaust
