Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Lint accumulation inside the dryer cabinet near the blower housing
• Hot air escaping around the blower housing cover
• Reduced drying efficiency when the seal is visibly worn, cracked, or missing

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect the dryer from electrical power before inspection.
• Visually inspect the blower housing cover seal for gaps, compression damage, cracking, deterioration, or missing sections.
• Check the area around the blower housing and cover for lint accumulation that could indicate an air leak.
• Confirm that the blower housing cover is seated evenly and that the seal is positioned continuously around the sealing surface.
• Do not treat a damaged seal as the sole diagnosis for long drying times; also check airflow, venting, and other dryer components as appropriate.
