door seal

Draft prevention strip

A door seal is the strip of flexible material—rubber, foam, or weatherstripping—that lines the edges of a door to block drafts, moisture, noise, or light.

Car doors have seals to keep out water and road noise; refrigerator doors have seals to maintain temperature.

The door seal on the dishwasher needs replacing.
