Lint buildup in the dryer door seal can happen if the lint screen is incorrectly installed, damaged, or ineffective at catching lint during drying. It can also be due to a clogged dryer vent filled with lint and debris. When the vent is clogged, the lint has nowhere else to go and gets pushed into the door seal. When this happens, excess lint can be seen collecting along the edges of the seal.
