Dryer Felt Seal Replacement

Dryer Door Gaskets, Seals & Felt Strips

A worn or damaged dryer door gasket lets heat escape and moisture seep into your laundry room. If you notice lint around the door frame, feel warm air leaking out, or see visible cracks in the felt seal, it's time for a replacement. Dryer gaskets and felt seals are straightforward fixes that restore your dryer's efficiency and prevent heat loss.

Gasket profiles vary significantly by brand and model and other major brands and each have specific seal designs. Use your dryer's model number to find the exact OEM gasket. Our dryer gasket and felt seal parts are genuine OEM replacements that fit perfectly and perform like the original.

• Leaking heat or moisture around the door: gasket has shrunk or cracked
• Lint visible along the door frame: seal no longer closes tightly
• Dryer taking much longer to dry clothes: heat escaping through worn seal
• Musty smell inside the dryer drum: moisture entering through gap
• Visible tears or hardened felt: gasket has aged past its service life

Dryer Gasket & Seal FAQs

How do I know if my dryer gasket needs replacing?

Look for visible cracks, hardening, or separation from the door frame. Feel around the door seal while the dryer runs — any warm air leaking out means the gasket has failed. If lint collects around the exterior of the door or inside the cabinet, the seal is no longer airtight. Most dryer gaskets last 3 to 5 years depending on usage frequency.

Does the gasket fit all dryer models?

No — dryer door gaskets are model-specific., front-load, and dryers each use different seal profiles and mounting systems. Enter your dryer's model number to confirm you're ordering the correct gasket. Using the wrong gasket will not seal properly and the dryer will continue to leak heat.

Can I replace just the felt seal, or do I need the entire gasket assembly?

Most OEM gasket kits include the felt seal and any required mounting hardware or clips. Some manufacturers sell separate felt strips for certain models, but ordering the complete gasket assembly ensures all parts are correct. Check your specific model to see if felt-only replacement is available.

Is a dryer gasket repair more cost-effective than a new dryer?

Absolutely. A genuine OEM gasket costs $30 to $80 and takes 15 to 30 minutes to install. A new dryer costs $400 to $1000+. Even a mid-range repair is far more economical. Plus, a working gasket reduces energy waste and protects your laundry from moisture damage. Enter your model number below to find your exact OEM gasket and get drying again.

Filter Dryer Parts by Your Model Number

Check behind the lint filter door on your dryer for the model number label. If it is not there, look inside the door opening, along the frame, or on the back panel. The label may also list the serial number, so copy the model number exactly, including letters, numbers, and any dashes or slashes. Enter it in the search bar to filter the full dryer parts catalog to parts that fit your specific model, not just the felt seal or another individual part. Matching by model helps account for differences between brands, capacities, and production revisions. That means fewer wrong orders and a faster repair.
