    A black rubber ring fell into the drum of our dryer along with the clothes
    I cant find anything in the parts that looks like it.

    Can anyone suggest where it came from/ what it does or how to replace it?

    It looks like a seal or gasket but the only black one I can find is the drive belt (it isnt that)

    Laid out in a ring it has a diameter of about 28cm (too small for door) and isnt very stretchy
    It has a 1mm ridge running all around the outside and a larger lip around the inside
    its with is about 10-12mm

    The dryer still seems to work but I dont want to run it until I find where it goes
    I cant see it on the exploded parts on the Hotpoint site

    Any help appreciated.
    thanks

    my first though was front seal but at only 28cm its far too small.
    Is it a complete circle or could it be part of a bigger circle ?


    any chance of a picture

    having problem seeing photo

    you say its rubber. now I know the door deal is normally grey and from what you say its only 28cm in diameter when opened up so I cant think what it can be

    can you be sure its out of the dryer and not introduced with the wet clothes and its off something else

    as for photo there are sites you can host the photo and post a link

    Without a clearer picture I would tend to agree with Dave, looks like a ‘foreign body’ to me. Nothing remotely like that used on these dryers AFAIK ?
