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

This door boot gasket seals the opening between the washer door and the front of the outer tub. Replacing a damaged or deformed boot stops front leaks and restores a tight, reliable seal.

• Forms a watertight seal between the door and outer tub to contain wash water
• Helps maintain proper door closure
• Common signs of failure: water leaking from the door/front, visible tears or cracks, loose or misshapen boot, residue that returns after cleaning

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Remove the outer and inner retaining bands; note the gasket's orientation and any drain ports
• Seat the new gasket evenly on the tub lip; reinstall clamps securely and verify the seal all the way around
• Run a short test cycle to check for leaks before returning to service
