The Door Boot Seal is an OEM part for for 27" LG front load washers. It provides a watertight seal between the washer door and the drum, preventing water from leaking out during the wash and spin cycles. This seal also helps to keep the interior of the washer clean and free from mold and mildew.
The door boot seal can fail due to various reasons such as wear and tear from regular use, exposure to harsh detergents, or physical damage from foreign objects. Mold and mildew buildup can also compromise the integrity of the seal over time.
Symptoms of a bad door boot seal include:
- Water leaking from the front of the washer
- Visible tears, cracks, or deformation in the seal
- Mold or mildew buildup on the seal
- Unpleasant odors coming from the washer
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore washing machines.
Note: For the door boot seal without a drain port, use part number 4986ER0004C.

The only thing that would have made it easier, was having a pair of Spring Expansion pliers, be careful not to pinch inner boot! Used Youtube video as a walk through, completed in the fraction of the time if i hadnt watched!
