Customer Questions and Answers for Front Bellow Tub Seal by Whirlpool

The Front Bellow Tub Seal is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. Located behind the washer door opening, it forms a barrier sealing in moisture. The flexible seal compresses tightly against the tub during rotation to prevent water escape through potential seam gaps. 

Causes relate to years of compression from tub movement stressing the material. Mineral buildup prohibiting a flush seal also diminishes its functionality over time.

Symptoms of failure include:

• Water puddling outside the washer around the opening
• Mineral deposits accumulating hints at compromised sealing
• Leakage necessitates replacing the seal to regain integrity
