The Outer Door Boot Seal Clamp is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This clamp secures the outer door boot seal, ensuring a tight seal to prevent water leaks during the wash cycle.

You should replace the outer door boot seal clamp if it becomes damaged or loses its tension, which can happen due to regular use, exposure to harsh cleaning agents, or physical wear and tear.

Symptoms of a bad outer door boot seal clamp include:

• Water leaks from the door area during the wash cycle
• Loose or shifting door boot seal
• Difficulty in closing the washing machine door securely

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Outer Door Gasket Clamp is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It is designed to secure the outer door gasket, ensuring a tight seal between the door and the drum. This helps prevent water leaks during the wash cycle and maintains the efficiency of the washing machine.

Causes of a bad outer door gasket clamp can include regular wear and tear, damage from heavy use, or corrosion over time. A compromised clamp can lead to a loose gasket, resulting in water leaks and reduced washing machine performance.

Symptoms of a bad Outer Door Gasket Clamp include:

• Water leaking from the door area during wash cycles
• A loose or misaligned door gasket
• Difficulty in securing the door properly
• Visible rust or damage on the clamp

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Clutch Band and Lining Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It contains the clutch band and clutch lining components essential for proper transmission of power from the washer motor to its drum during the spin cycle. The clutch band and lining allow for a controlled amount of slippage to safely extract water from clothes without damage. 

Symptoms of a bad clutch band and lining include: 

• Excessive noise or vibration during spin
• Slow or ineffective spinning 
• The drum failing to spin or “locking up”
• Premature wear of other transmission parts

Over time and with heavy use, these components can wear down. If slipping or damage is detected, it’s important to replace the kit to avoid potential transmission repairs.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Inner Door Gasket Clamp is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It secures the inner door gasket in place, ensuring a tight seal to prevent water leaks during the wash cycle. This clamp is essential for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of the washing machine by keeping the door gasket firmly in position.

Over time, wear and tear, exposure to water and detergent, or accidental mishandling can compromise the integrity of the clamp, leading to potential leaks.

Symptoms of a bad inner door gasket clamp include:

• Water leaking from the door area
• The door gasket not staying securely in place
•  Visible damage or corrosion on the clamp

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Clamp is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It is used to secure the hose connections within the washer, ensuring that water flows correctly without leaks.

• Holds a hose or boot to a tub, pump, or port to keep the joint sealed
• Helps prevent leaks and disconnections from vibration or pressure changes
• Restores proper sealing when the original clamp is stretched, rusted, broken, or missing
• Typical symptoms include drips at the joint, a loose/slipping connection, or visible clamp damage

• 1 clamp

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply; place a towel to catch residual water
• Note the clamp's position before removal; seat the hose/boot fully over the fitting bead
• Position the clamp just behind the bead and engage/tighten it evenly
• Run a short test cycle and check the joint for leaks

The Suspension Spring Holder is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This holder supports the suspension springs that help stabilize the washer drum during operation, reducing vibration and movement. It plays a critical role in ensuring smooth and quiet operation of the washing machine.

Over time, the suspension spring holder can become worn or damaged due to regular use, heavy loads, or accidental impacts. Causes of a bad suspension spring holder include wear and tear, physical damage, or corrosion from moisture exposure.

Symptoms of a bad suspension spring holder include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during wash cycles
• Unusual noises, such as banging or clunking
• The washer drum appearing misaligned or sagging
• The washing machine moving or walking during operation

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

This retainer ring is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on front load washing machines to hold the boot seal in place. The boot seal is the gasket that seals the washing machine when the door is closed to prevent water from leaking. The retainer ring is located flush against the boot seal and has either a spring clamp or screw clamp that secures it. Over time, this ring may become damaged due to the washing machine's normal use and age. If the ring is not tight, the washing machine could leak when in use. If water is coming from the door, it is a good idea to inspect and replace the retainer ring and possibly the boot as well.Unplug the washing machine to prevent electrocution. Remove the front panel, the detergent dispenser, and the kickplate to access the retainer ring. Locate the clamp on the ring and loosen it. Remove the retainer ring and set it to the side. Inspect the boot and then install the new retainer ring. Tighten the clamp and reassemble the washing machine. This retainer ring is sold as an individual unit. It is designed specifically for washing machines manufactured by Whirlpool.
