Replacing the rubber sealing sheet
Occasionally, a tear or nick in the rubber sealing
sheet (SE1143) may inhibit the formation of the
vacuum seal. The rubber sealing sheet is attached
to the dryer by four screws in a retaining bar
along the edge of the platen. To change the seal-
ing sheet, you also need a small tube of clear
silicone adhesive, available at hardware stores.
1
Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four
screws on top of the retaining bar that holds the
rubber sealing sheet in place.
2
Lift off the retaining bar and the damaged rubber
sealing sheet.
If necessary, use a sharp edge to clean out any old
silicone adhesive on the inside of the retaining bar.
3
Position the replacement sealing sheet on the platen,
aligning the four holes in the overlay with the four
holes for the screws.
4
Lay a bead of clear silicone adhesive along the inside
edge of the retaining bar. Replace the retaining bar,
aligning the four holes of the retaining bar over the
holes in the platen and sealing sheet.
5
Screw the retaining bar and sealing sheet in place.
