This tends to be more of a problem in the older models, or so we were told. The Kenmore set we have has a special cleaning cycle for the machine - it's laid out in the manual. We use that and it seems to be fine. About once a week, I also bend the seal back and just make sure there's no snarls of hair or stray threads from the fabrics, etc.
Check the owner's manual for your machine, see if it outlines anything similar. If you don't have a paper manual, typically if you do a little googling, you can find them online.
And, as someone else said, you can always leave the door open a crack as well.
