Whirlpool Door Seal WP3405246 OEM Part

The Dryer Door Seal is an original replacement component designed for numerous Whirlpool models, including KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Inglis, Maytag, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, and Magic Chef. Additionally, Whirlpool supplies parts for brands such as Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This grey rubber seal is engineered to fit securely around the dryer door, effectively containing heat during operation and enhancing energy efficiency.

Ineffective seals often result in prolonged drying times and noticeable warmth escaping from the door, thus increasing energy consumption. The seal may become deformed or loose due to prolonged heat exposure.

Before replacing the seal, ensure the dryer is disconnected from the power source and completely cooled. Carefully remove the worn seal and any adhesive residue. Apply a compatible high-temperature adhesive (available separately) to the new seal and affix it firmly along the edges of the door. Allow the adhesive to set fully before reconnecting the dryer.

Regular upkeep of the dryer door seal is essential for preserving the appliance's efficiency and performance.
