The Door Bellow Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool front-load washing machines. It forms a flexible seal between the door and the washing machine drum, preventing water from leaking out during operation. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Bellow Seal include:

  • Water leaking from the front of the machine during or after a wash cycle.
  • The presence of mold or mildew on the bellow, which can cause odors.
  • Visible tears, punctures, or deformities in the bellow material.

Causes of a bad door bellow seal can include regular wear and tear from washing cycles, exposure to harsh laundry detergents or chemicals that degrade the rubber, and physical damage from clothing zippers or sharp objects left in clothes.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Door Bellow Seal (Part Number: OEM18045252)

1 Answer

Hi Joey.Open the front door and inspect the boot for rips at the bottom or sides. It is common that if the unit was overloaded (poss. tennis shoes) the boot can rip. The boot part # is WPW10111435. The rear boot clamp is part # WP8540108.It also is needed since they only work well enough one time. Now you can remove the lower panel and see where the leak is coming from in case it is not the boot. If a hose may have leaked. Inspect the lower inside of the door glass to see if anything has dried or scratched the glass to allow it to leak. Thank You.

Hello Phil. The weep holes in the bottom are for draining the water back into the tub assembly. There are usually three holes in the bottom of the door boot WPW10111435. The large hole in the top of the boot is for the dispenser to attach to. You can tell the bottom of the boot, by the three weep holes in it. Hope this helps.

Using a small screwdriver or a pair of long-nosed pliers, pull the tension spring on the retaining wire out from around the front of the bellows, and remove the wire. 7. To remove the door switch assembly: a) Pull the bellows off the lip of the front panel beside the door switch assembly just enough to access the switch assembly. b) Remove the two T-20 Torx screws from the door switch assembly. c) Pull the door switch assembly out and turn it over so that you can access the connectors. d) Unlock the tabs and disconnect the three wire connectors from the door switch terminals, then remove the assembly. 8. To remove the bellows: a) Remove the two T-20 Torx screws from the door switch assembly. b) Remove the front panel from the washer. c) Turn the bellows retaining clamp screw counterclockwise until the clamp is loose enough to remove it from around the bellows.

Hello. You will need to remove the top panel, then remove the control panel. Open the door and remove the boot spring and boot from the front panel, and remove the front panel. Once the front panel is removed, you will see a band around the back of the bellow. Remove this band, and reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.
