How to Clean the Door Seal of Your Tumble Dryer
Keeping the door seal (gasket) clean is essential for preventing mold and ensuring an
airtight closure. Here's how to clean it properly:
Step 1: Prepare a Cleaning Solution
Use a non-abrasive detergent mixed with water and gather a soft sponge or cloth.
Step 2: Wipe the Outside Surfaces
Gently wipe the outside surfaces of the dryer door with a damp sponge or cloth to remove
any dirt or residue.
Step 3: Clean the Door Seal (Gasket)
Carefully clean around the door gasket (the rubber seal) using a damp sponge. Ensure
that you gently wipe away any lint, dust, or debris to maintain a proper seal.
Step 4: Dry the Seal
After cleaning, allow the door seal to dry or wipe it down with a dry cloth.
By regularly cleaning the door seal, you’ll prevent dirt build-up and ensure the tumble dryer
operates efficiently, maintaining a tight seal.
