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.
