If I bought a scratch-and-dent dryer, or a used one in good condition, let's say I start by removing the heating element(s), vent, and closed off whatever intake there is. Why is there a rubber seal around the door? If I attached it to a pump and sealed off the dryer the best I can, how much of a vacuum could I maintain without strengthening the dryer? Since home dryers are unperforated steel cylinders, if the water boiled out of the clothing, wouldn't it just get tossed around until it is re-absorbed?
