Lint Around Dryer Door Seal

Why Lint Is Building Up in the Dryer Door Seal?

Lint buildup in the dryer door seal can happen if the lint screen is incorrectly installed, damaged, or ineffective, or if the dryer vent is clogged by lint and debris. If the vent is clogged, lint has nowhere else to go and gets pushed into the door seal. If you consistently find lint stuck in the dryer door seal, don’t ignore it.
