It sits between the fan cover and the housing so that air moved by the fan stays inside the duct instead of leaking out at the join. Seals in these dryers come in several shapes, from felt strips to moulded gaskets, so match the number on your parts list before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the fan cover seal matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fan is what moves air through the dryer, and it only works properly when the housing around it is sealed. When this seal hardens, crumbles or gets pinched during a repair, air escapes at the fan cover and lint is blown into the cabinet. The dryer may take longer to dry, run hotter on the outside, or leave fluff piling up near the fan and motor. Lint collecting inside the cabinet is a fire hazard, which is why a failed fan cover seal is worth replacing rather than ignoring. It's also a good part to renew whenever the fan cover comes off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine part H0180300013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeal for the dryer fan cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel and Haier clothes dryers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps air and lint inside the fan housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the new seal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the dryer unplugged, remove the panels needed to reach the fan cover and lift it off. Scrape away every trace of the old seal and vacuum the fan area. Fit the new seal evenly along the cover or housing without stretching it, then refit the cover so the seal compresses all the way round. Run the dryer and check for air escaping at the join.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I reuse the old seal when I take the fan cover off?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's not a good idea. A seal that has been squashed and heated for years rarely springs back, and it often tears coming off. Fitting a fresh seal while the cover is already off saves opening the dryer a second time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fisher \u0026 Paykel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551247790158,"sku":"H0180300013","price":18.34,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/h0180300013-genuine-fisher-and-paykel-dryer-fan-cover-seal","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
