Is This the Right Part?
✅ Cross Reference Information
Common Symptoms
- Visible cracks, tears, separation, flattening, or sections of the seal pulling away from the door.
- A noticeable gap or weak contact between the closed dryer door and the seal.
- Heat or air escaping around the door during operation, which may reduce drying efficiency.
- The seal falling off or breaking into pieces, as reported for this exact part.
- Possible rubbing or noise if the seal is distorted or improperly seated.
Check Before Replacing
- Unplug the dryer before inspection or service.
- With the door open, visually inspect the entire seal for cracks, tears, missing sections, flattening, or separation from its mounting groove.
- Close the door and check that the seal contacts the door opening evenly around the perimeter, without obvious gaps.
- Inspect the seal and mating door area for lint, debris, or residue that could prevent full contact; clean only as permitted by the appliance instructions.
- If the seal is loose, damaged, or the door does not contact it evenly, compare the installation with the model-specific service information before replacing parts.

Installation Notes
- Disconnect electrical power before installation and wear protective work gloves.
- Remove the old seal carefully and clean the mounting/contact area before fitting the replacement.
- Seat the new gasket fully and evenly in the original mounting location; confirm there are no twists, folds, or gaps.
- Verify that the dryer door closes and contacts the seal evenly around the perimeter before operating the appliance.
- Follow the dryer model’s service instructions regarding sealant; Whirlpool’s W11613302 listing identifies silicone sealant as required to finish the repair.
- Do not operate the dryer if the replacement seal is loose, visibly damaged, or prevents the door from closing properly.
