Customer Questions and Answers for Door Boot Gasket (Front-Load Washer) by Lg

The door boot gasket seals the opening between your front-load washer's door and outer tub, keeping wash water contained. Replace it if the boot is torn, deformed, or heavily mildewed to restore a reliable, watertight seal.

• Forms a watertight seal between the outer tub and door opening
• Prevents leaks from the front of the washer during wash and spin
• Flexible design maintains the seal as the drum moves
• Common failure signs: water on the floor at the front, dripping at the door, visible rips/cracks, or the boot pulling loose

• Unplug the washer and turn off water supply; wear gloves to avoid sharp edges
• Access the boot by removing panels as required for your model; note hose positions and alignment
• Release the outer and inner retaining clamps/springs and remove the old gasket
• Seat the new gasket evenly, align indexing features/ports, reinstall clamps securely, and run a quick test for leaks
