Dryer door seal is leaking lint or air around the edges

Safety First: Unplug the dryer before replacing seals.

• Inspect gasket: Examine the rubber or felt gasket around the door for tears, gaps, or hardened sections.
• Clean mating surfaces: Wipe the door and front panel surfaces where the gasket contacts to remove lint and residue.
• Replace gasket: Remove the old gasket (it may be clipped or glued). Install a new Whirlpool door gasket, following the orientation and attachment method specified.
• Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes evenly against the gasket. Adjust hinges if necessary.
