Customer Questions and Answers for Bellow Tub Seal by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18035283
Manufacturer Part Number: WP8182119

The Bellow Tub Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part acts as a flexible seal between the door and the drum of front-loading washers, preventing water from leaking out during operation. Note: The clamps do not come with the seal. For clamps order W10902779 and WP8182210

Causes of damage to the bellow tub seal often include regular wear and tear from frequent use, the buildup of detergents and chemicals that can degrade the material over time, and physical damage from overloading or from objects caught between the door and the drum. 

Symptoms of a bad Bellow Tub Seal include:

  • Visible cracks, holes, or tears in the bellow
  • The accumulation of mold or mildew
  • Water leakage from the front of the machine
  • Clothes getting caught or snagged in the damaged areas of the bellow

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Answer

Kevin, A model and serial number would be greatly appreciated, We can be more precise in assisting you. Several things to check,first. If you washer was updated, there should be a drain opening in the center bottom of the boot(6 o'clock position) that could be clogged with debris, lint, etc. Check the water level in the tub, start the washer,with nothing in the tub, allow the washer to fill and wash for a few minutes, pause the washer and open the doorwhen it unlocks. Using a ruller , measure the water level at the rear of the tub(deepest area) it should measure 3 to 4 inches deep(give or take 1/2 an inch). allow the washer to progress through the cycle to the rinse, allow the washer to fill and wash a few minutes, the water level should increase by 1 inch in the rinse cycle. If all's OK, then you will need to check for the proper detergent and softner usage, you may have a sudsing/foaming issue.
