Manufacturer Part Number: WPW10111435

The Door Bellow Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool front-load washing machines. It forms a flexible seal between the door and the washing machine drum, preventing water from leaking out during operation. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Bellow Seal include:

  • Water leaking from the front of the machine during or after a wash cycle.
  • The presence of mold or mildew on the bellow, which can cause odors.
  • Visible tears, punctures, or deformities in the bellow material.

Causes of a bad door bellow seal can include regular wear and tear from washing cycles, exposure to harsh laundry detergents or chemicals that degrade the rubber, and physical damage from clothing zippers or sharp objects left in clothes.

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