Hotpoint Tumble Dryer Door Seal

The seal around the dryer door that stops warm, damp air and lint escaping.

Signs it has failed

• Lint or warm air leaking around the door
• Longer drying times
• A worn, torn or compressed seal
• A rattling or squeaking when the door closes

Check before you buy

• Run your hand around the door edge during a cycle to feel for leaks
• Check the seal for gaps, flattened sections or loose adhesive
• Make sure the door catch and hinges are not worn

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your tumble dryer and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Unplug the dryer
2. Peel off the old seal and clean any residue from the surface
3. Offer up the new seal and mark the correct starting point
4. Press it into place or stick it with the supplied adhesive tape
5. Close the door and test

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.
