Hello Item is a bosch calassixx tumble dryer, taking my last load out a long piece of chord fell out the dryer, it looks like a seal for the drum against the front, I presume it stops clothes and dust deposits going inside the appliance.
1. What is this seal called.
2.Can it be replaced.
3 dryer still works is it dangerous to use without this seal?
