I changed out the door seal as part of a full cleaning on my 15 year old washer. You must remove the top and loosen the control panel to get to the screws for the front panel. No need to remove the door, just take the whole panel off. I did use Washing Machine Spring Expansion Tool/Spring Removal Tool to take the outer spring off. Other than that I just used 1/4” nut driver and T20 bit for the screws and a Phillips screw driver for the inner spring. Switching out the part probably would have taken about an hour, but I spent several hours cleaning the filters and hoses while they were accessible. After it was back together I ran another cleaning cycle to flush any loose mildew and check for leaks. The part was an exact match, but I did notice some extra pieces of silicone that needed to be trimmed with a razor that seemed to be excess that squeezed out of the form during production.
