Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Washer Door Bellow Seal (Part Number: OEM18035283)

Kenf for Model Number WFW9400SZ04

Is the bellows/gasket usually the culprit for odor that won't go away? I've run vinegar cycles, wiped all around and in the folds of the bellows/gasket with Clorox wipes, and left the door hanging up, but still smell. I've also opened up the filter in front of the drain pump to see if anything was there, but nothing. And while I had that open, I suctioned out the hose leading from bottom of drum to the drain pump. Still there is musty odor. Hence me starting to wonder if the bellows should be replaced. Thanks.

KenF, the bellows WP8182119 are a common cause for odors and if mildew sets into the material, replacing it would be the only correction.

Ray, This issue will most likely be caused by a drum support that is broken and will need to pull the unit apart to check. If this is the case, then you may need to replace the front drum as well.

Barb, if the odor has continued after extensively cleaning the door bellow WP8182119, running a cleaning cycle using Affresh W10549845 and leaving the door open to air dry has not helped then the door bellow would need to be replaced (if odor is coming from the bellow specifically).

Robert, Before you replace the door seal make sure the glass on the bottom is clean, we have seen instances where just a small amount of pet hair will cause the seal to not touch the glass and leak a little. Most of the time just the seal would need to be replaced unless the clamp or spring is damaged.
