Possible Causes
Aged or brittle door gasket, Mechanical damage from sharp objects in laundry, Misaligned door causing uneven wear
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before replacing seals.
- Inspect seal: Check the entire circumference of the door gasket for tears, gaps, or hardening.
- Clean contact surfaces: Wipe the door glass and cabinet front where the seal contacts to remove lint and detergent residue.
- Replace gasket:
- Remove the old gasket (usually clipped or glued).
- Fit the new Bauknecht-compatible gasket, ensuring it is evenly seated.
- Door alignment: Adjust hinges if the door does not close evenly.
Note: A damaged seal can reduce drying efficiency and allow moisture to escape into the room.
