The Gasket Seal is an OEM component specifically designed for GE dryers. It is a crucial sealing component that lines the perimeter of the dryer door. The gasket seal helps create an effective air barrier when the door is properly closed and secured.   Causes of a bad gasket seal can include wear and tear resulting in cracks along the surface, deformities preventing flush contact with the door border, or material deterioration compromising its sealing abilities. Symptoms of a bad gasket seal include: Excessively long drying cycles as air escapes around the compromised seal     Visible lint or debris collections where the gasket meets the door framing Noticeable drafts or air gaps discernible across the door perimeter This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.Part Number WE09X22578 (AP6032637) replaces WE9M46, WE9M48, 4467049, PS11763079, WE9M32.
