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.
