The Gasket is an OEM replacement part for LG front-loading washing machine models. Located around the machine door opening, it creates a watertight barrier during extraction cycles.
Over time, the gasket can wear out or become damaged due to constant exposure to water, detergent, and the friction of clothes. Mold and mildew can also build up, compromising the integrity of the seal.
Symptoms include:
- Puddling or wetness near the opening after cycles
- Musty odors permeating from the appliance interior
- Reduced mechanical balance stressing other components
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore front-load washing machines.
NOTE: This gasket does not have a drain hole. For a gasket with a drain hole, order 4986ER0004F.
