The Door Boot Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. Also known as the door gasket or door seal, is located around the opening of the washing machine. It prevents water from leaking out during the wash cycle and maintains a secure seal when the door is closed.
Causes of a faulty door boot can include regular wear and tear, physical damage, or mold and mildew buildup. These factors can result in issues such as water leakage from the door, visible tears or cracks in the boot, or unpleasant odors from mold growth.
Symptoms of a bad door boot may include:

- Visible tears, cracks, or deformations on the boot
- Foul odors emanating from the washing machine
This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
