Paula April 21, 2018 for Model Number WFW9150WW01 I opened the washer door and the outer spring clamp came out with the door. My washer has been out of balance lately so not sure if that is what caused it or if the rubber piece that goes around the opening in the front needs replaced too. I tried to put the spring back on but having trouble. I hate to pay 200 or more for a repairman since the washer is 3 or 4 years old, but how do I know if it is the rubber part too?
1 Answer Paula, You will put the edge of the spring on and work the wire piece around the seal. Then when you get it as far as he could then you will use a pair of needle nose pliers and you will stretch the spring to get the wire the rest of the way in. Read More...
Home Mechanic April 17, 2018 for Model Number WFW8540FW1 Boot seal retains water every use. Have tried folding the seal back and whipping it out but don't know how to clean the actual drain holes -- advice please
1 Answer Hello. To clean out those hole, you can use a Q-tip. Just be easy and do not tear the boot. It is usually easier to soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes before cleaning them. Thank you. Read More...
Debbie February 09, 2018 The front coil wire off the Bellow came off during the wash and wrapped around the clothing. Do I need to replace the whole Bellow or just the front coil.If only the front coil, what is the part number for my Maytag MHWE200XW00? I think the bellow is part number 8182119.
1 Answer Debbie, As long as the bellow is not damaged then this will just be the spring clamp that needs to be replaced. Read More...

Busy Mom October 09, 2017 for Model Number WFW8400TW02 whirlpool duet front load washer. I recently purchased this washer and after i did a load of wash there was about a cupfull of water still in the bellow, it was actually coming out of the bellow. I took a wash cloth an soaked it up. Is this normal do i have to do this every wash? I have used other front load washing machines and never had this happen.
1 Answer Hello Busy Mom. No, this is not normal. You will need to check the drain holes at the bottom of the door boot and see if they are clogged and not allowing the water to flow back into the tub assembly of the unit. Thank you. Read More...
Wes M September 18, 2017 for Model Number wo8181850 I followed your video and installation was pretty easy. No leaks but there is a rubber trough (best way I can describe it) in the bellow between the outer rim of the washer (where the door closes) and drum. I know it is supposed to be there so there is give when the drum is in motion which makes sense. My question though is the trough captures water which sits there when the washer is not in use. It probably holds almost an inch of water. We put in a old tshirt so sop it up after each use but seems like if you didn't you would get mold and an old stinky water smell. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
1 Answer Wes, With this issue there would be no way to correct although check to make sure that the 3 ports that are closest to the tub are not clogged up but there will still be water in it if there is no drain port on your model. Read More...
Robin May 14, 2017 for Model Number GHW9200LQ0 I replaced the bellow, no more leak!! I think I may have something still not right, the boot doesn't seal with the drum. It only had one spring clamp but it seems like it needs another to secure it to the front of the drum. My socks went under the upper lip of the bellow, didn't have this issue before. What am I missing? Model# GHW9200LQ - Replacement bellow# WP8181850.? TIA for any help you can give me! Robin
1 Answer Robin, There is a space between the outer tub and the inner tub that it is very possible that socks can get into this area. If there is a clamp on the outer part of the door seal where it hooks onto the tub then this would be correct installation. Read More...
Alex Lordt May 10, 2017 If my new door bellows seal came with a wrinkle is there any way to fix said wrinkle?
1 Answer Alex, There is no way to remove the bellow and you would just need to install and it will pull them most of the way out. Read More...
Janet May 07, 2017 for Model Number MHWZ400TQ01 I recently purchased a bellow from you for a front load washer. I can't tell what part of the bellow goes up. There are three (I assume drain holes) holes in it. Where do I position those.
1 Answer Janet, The three "drain holes" in the bellows will be positioned and the bottom of the opening (6 o'clock position) so the condensation and water can drain back into the tub. Read More...
