W10861521 Whirlpool Dryer Door Seal
The Dryer Door Seal is a rubber gasket that prevents heat loss in the appliance during the drying cycle. If your dryer’s current seal is visibly damaged or the appliance is unable to maintain a constant temperature while operating, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. Replacing the seal will require basic hand tools, minor disassembly of the dryer and novice repair experience. You must unplug the dryer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Required Accessory: You will need high-temperature Silicone Sealant (item WP279368) to complete this repair. Helpful Tips: This part may arrive as one piece; hold at one end and pull apart to separate before installation. Removing the dryer door before you begin will aid with proper installation.

Using a flathead screwdriver, carefully loosen the screws that secure the old seal to the door. Then, pull the old seal gently away from the door and set aside for disposal.

Position the new seal onto the door, ensuring that it is properly aligned with the surrounding edges. Using a flathead screwdriver, tighten the screws to secure the seal.
Step 5: Test the New Seal
Close the door to test if the new seal is working properly. Check to make sure there is no air leaking out when the door is shut.
