Customer Questions and Answers for Door Seal by Whirlpool

The Door Seal is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is located around the perimeter of the machine's door and serves to prevent water from leaking out during wash cycles. The door seal is made to fit snugly, ensuring that water stays within the washing machine and doesn't spill onto your floor.

Symptoms of a bad Door Seal include:

• Water leaking from the front of the machine
• Mold or mildew buildup on the seal
• Unpleasant odors emanating from the seal
• Visible damage like cracks or tears

Causes typically relate to natural degradation from extended use, laundry chemicals, and heat cycling. Physical stress from frequent opening and slamming as well as collected debris can prematurely crack or weaken sealing materials over time too.

Compatible brands include Maytag, KitchenAid, and select Kenmore front-load machines as well.
