The person you spoke to is an idiot. Yes, it is flammable when you
apply it but I doubt you will apply it when the dryer is operating. The
specs on the paint say it is suitable for laundry equipment, but not for
oven interiors or stove tops. See this below.

We like how you think! Rust-Oleum Specialty Appliance Epoxy Spray is a
hard, moisture resistant enamel that is suitable for indoor metal
surfaces. It provides a smooth, washable surface for refinishing the
exterior of appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers, laundry
machines, dryers and other indoor metal applications such as tables or
cabinets.


It's hotter inside the door, where this will be going, than in the
exterior as described above. But I think it's not all that hot and
it will work fine too. Agree that whoever they talked to is an idiot,
even if it doesn't work, it's not a flamability issue.

There are also touch up paints made for appliances, that would work too.
