Kenmore / Sears Washer Gasket & Seal

This felt door vent seal fits around the dishwasher's door vent to help contain steam and moisture within the inner door. Replacing a worn seal helps prevent minor leaks and condensation around the vent area during cycles.

• Creates a gasket between the vent assembly and inner door panel to keep steam directed through the intended vent path
• Reduces moisture escape that can cause drips or water spots on the outer door or nearby countertop
• Helps limit condensation or musty odors from trapped moisture inside the door panel
• Indicators of failure include visible wear or separation of the felt and moisture around the vent during operation

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing the dishwasher
• Remove the inner door panel to access the vent assembly
• Note the seal's orientation; clean mating surfaces; seat the new felt evenly around the vent with no gaps
• Reassemble and run a short test cycle to check for leaks at the vent area

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

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.

This O-ring is a small rubber seal that helps prevent water or refrigerant leaks by creating a tight connection between mating parts. Replacing a worn O-ring restores a secure seal and reduces dripping or loss of pressure. What it does:

• Forms a leak-tight seal at a joint or fitting to stop drips and seepage
• Helps maintain proper fluid or refrigerant pressure where used
• Commonly replaced when cracked, flattened, or hardened
• Can eliminate intermittent leaks that occur under load or when the appliance cycles

• Turn off and unplug the appliance and shut off water or refrigerant supply before service
• Inspect mating surfaces and replace any damaged fittings to ensure a proper seal
• Lightly lubricate the O-ring with appliance-safe silicone grease; avoid petroleum-based products
• Do not stretch or nick the O-ring during installation; confirm correct seating before restoring power or supply

This drain hose ring secures the washer's drain hose to the tub or drain outlet to help maintain a watertight connection and prevent leaks. It's a direct-fit replacement for the original ring used on compatible Frigidaire washers. What it does:

• Secures and seals the connection between the drain hose and the washer tub or standpipe
• Helps prevent water leaks at the hose connection point
• Keeps the drain hose properly positioned to ensure reliable drainage
• Useful when replacing a cracked, stretched, or missing hose ring

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting repair
• Drain any standing water from the washer before removing the hose
• Use pliers or a suitable hose clamp tool to remove and install the ring; avoid pinching the hose
• After installation, run a short cycle and inspect the connection 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 replacement lid restores the washer's top enclosure so the tub stays covered during operation and the lid switch can engage properly. It helps keep laundry inside the washer and prevents accidental access while the machine runs. What it does:

• Works with the lid switch assembly to allow the washer to start and run safely
• Helps prevent water splashes and keeps clothes contained during operation
• Replaces a cracked, bent or damaged top lid that won't close properly

• Disconnect power to the washer and turn off water supply before starting any work
• May require removal of trim pieces or hinge screws; have basic hand tools ready
• Align lid on the hinge pins and tighten fasteners securely; avoid forcing to prevent damage
• If the lid switch or hinge hardware is damaged, inspect and replace those components as needed
