Joel J Marysville , WA February 19, 2017 Appliance: Maytag Washer- Horizontal Axis MAH6500AWW Maytag Washer Mah6500aww: Moldy gasket a defect from maytag. How to replace Door Boot Seal. We order the replacement gasket from appliancepartspros because they had a video that showed how to do it and it didn't look that difficult. Working with my autistic ADHD son we managed to take it apart per the video. The second most difficult part is removing the wire with the spring that holds the rubber boot. The one most difficult part is trying to reattach the spring to the retaining wire. You must try and keep the wire as close to the edge as possible or you will pull the rubber boot out of its track we did that several times. This spring is hard to pull to reach the other end took several attempts. I suggest during the rebill process you wipe down everything that you have open. In the end I think you will appreciate what you just did you just save yourself buying a new washer. Congratulations Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours
