Customer Questions and Answers for Outer Door Boot Seal Clamp by Whirlpool

The Outer Door Boot Seal Clamp Washer is an OEM replacement part specific to Whirlpool-brand washing machines. Multiple washers are used behind the outer boot seal clamp to create a uniform, compressed seal around the washer door opening. 

Symptoms of worn or damaged clamp washers include:

• Water leaks occurring around the outer door seal 
• The door not sitting flush or sealing tightly when closed
• Water intrusion indicated by interior mold/mildew buildup

Causes may involve deterioration of clamp washer material over extended washing machine use cycles. Washers crack or fail to adequately cushion and compress the door seal.

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