 I found this among some old manuals I picked up recently, and since I've never seen anything like it before I thought it was worth sharing. As you can see it shows all of the seals used on the older Maytag dryers, but the nice thing is that it also shows their profiles, which may be useful when trying to figure out which seal to use as a substitute when the one you need is no longer available. Anyways, it seemed like something that should probably be in the archives for people to find, and now it is.

You're welcome, guys. I'm glad you think it's worthwhile. Along the same lines I found this just this afternoon. It explains a bit of the evolution of one seal in particular, the one that's used on the DG700, DG701, and DG750, to name a few. Strangely, according to this older data these dryers would have all originally used a short lip seal, but by 1980 when the above chart was produced a long lip seal was being called out for them. | ||

Original manufacturer of Maytag dryer door seals (?) I wonder if anyone knows who made these seals for Maytag? I doubt that they were made in-house. If they are still in business, perhaps they have the dies and could make a few... Andrew S. | ||

 Maytag prided themselves on being able to produce everything in-house, including all the metal, steel, and rubber parts (with the exception of the obvious timers, water valves, motors, etc.). However, I wouldn't be surprised if a somewhat local supplier eventually made the door seals. They were using several local plastic injection manufacturers around Newton to make plastic parts up until 2006.
