Kenmore / Sears Washer Gasket & Seal

This tub-to-pump hose connects the washer's outer tub to the drain pump, carrying water out during the drain cycle. Replace it to resolve leaks or drain errors caused by cracks, splits, or internal blockages.

• Routes wash water from the outer tub to the drain pump
• Flexible bellows section helps prevent kinking and accommodates tub movement
• Failure signs: water leaking under the washer, slow/no draining, drain-related error codes, or visible cracks/soft spots
• Often needed after clamp corrosion, physical damage, or age-related deterioration

• Unplug the washer and turn off water supply; drain any remaining water from the tub/hoses
• Access location varies by model; remove panels as needed to reach the hose and clamps
• Use pliers to release spring clamps; note routing and clamp orientation before removal
• Seat the hose fully on fittings, secure clamps, and test with a short drain/rinse cycle to check for leaks

Service tub gasket that creates a watertight seal between the washer tub and cabinet. Replaces a worn or damaged seal to help stop leaks and limit water damage around the appliance. What it does:

• Seals the tub opening to prevent water from leaking onto the floor during fill, wash and drain cycles.
• Restores the seal that keeps moisture confined to the tub and reduces mildew buildup at the tub edge.
• Helps eliminate spray and dripping that can occur with cracked, torn or hardened gaskets.
• Supports normal drum/tub operation by maintaining the intended tub-to-cabinet seal.

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before starting any repair.
• Inspect and clean mating surfaces before installing the new gasket; ensure proper orientation and seating into the groove or mounting channel.
• Use original clamps or fasteners and tighten evenly; replace any missing or damaged mounting hardware before testing for leaks.

The Tub Gasket is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. This gasket forms a crucial seal between the washer tub and the cabinet, both preventing water leaks and reducing noise and vibration. 

Causes of a bad tub gasket can include cracks, tears, or compression failures due to age, use, or impacts over time. Gaskets can also degrade with chemical exposure.

Symptoms of a bad tub gasket include:

• Water leaks from around the tub and cabinet interface 
• Excessive noise or vibration during spin and agitation cycles
• Reduced washer balance resulting in thumping or off-center loads

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. 

This washer bellow, also called the door boot seal, forms the watertight gasket between the front door opening and the outer tub. Replacing a worn or torn bellow helps stop front leaks and keeps wash water inside the machine.

• Creates a watertight seal between the door opening and outer tub on front-load washers
• Helps prevent water on the floor from leaks at the door area
• Common failure signs: water leaking from the front/door, visible tears or cracks, persistent mildew/odor on the gasket, or the seal pulling loose

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before service
• Remove the outer retaining clamp, then access and remove the inner clamp as required by your model
• Note orientation marks/drain openings on the bellow and seat it evenly on both the tub and front panel
• Reinstall clamps securely and run a brief test fill to check for leaks
