The Inner Bellow Clamp is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It secures the inner bellow, or door boot seal, in place, ensuring a tight fit and preventing leaks from the washer drum during operation. The clamp has a diameter of approximately 18 inches.
Over time, the inner bellow clamp can wear out or become damaged due to repeated exposure to water, detergent, and the constant movement of the washing machine drum. If the clamp loses its tension or breaks, it may result in leaks and improper sealing of the door boot.
Symptoms of a bad inner bellow clamp include:
- Water leaks from the door area
- The door boot seal appears loose or out of place
- Visible damage or rust on the clamp
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
