Dryer door seal is torn or there is visible lint and moisture escaping around the door.

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.
