Customer Questions and Answers for Door Seal by Bosch

The Door Seal is an OEM part for Bosch front load washers, designed to ensure a watertight seal between the door and the drum. This part prevents water from leaking out during the wash cycle, maintaining the efficiency and safety of your appliance. 

Over time, the constant exposure to water and detergent, along with the physical stress of laundry loads, can cause the door seal to degrade. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Seal include:

• Visible signs of wear, such as cracks, holes, or tears, which can lead to water leaks.
• Mold or mildew buildup, resulting from trapped moisture and detergent residue, which can cause unpleasant odors and potential health issues.
• The door struggling to close properly or water leakage during the wash cycle, indicating a seal that has lost its elasticity or is otherwise damaged.

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.
