Do-It-Yourself Story

I studied several online videos before attempting to replace the seal, including one from appliancepartspro. Mine was an early Neptune model (MAH3000AWW), so the videos did not exactly cover every detail. My model was not equipped with a drain hose for the door boot, so I drilled through the drum and installed one. However, the nipple on the drum was somewhat smaller diameter than the drain hose which led to leakage until I really tightened it down. The repair turned out to be more difficult than I anticipated.
