Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve assembly include:

• No water entering the washing machine
• The washer filling slowly or not at all
• The washing machine filling with water when it is turned off

Symptoms of a bad door boot may include:

• Visible tears, cracks, or deformations on the boot
• Foul odors emanating from the washing machine

The Gasket is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. This part is located between the front and rear outer tubs and prevents water leaks by maintaining a watertight seal between them. The gasket acts as a barrier to ensure that water used during the washing process remains contained within the inner tub, preventing it from seeping into the washing machine's surrounding components.  

Causes of a bad gasket can include regular wear and tear, exposure to harsh detergents, or deterioration over time.  

Symptoms of a bad gasket include:

• Water leaking from the outer tub area
• Visible cracks or deterioration in the gasket material
• The washing machine not holding water properly
• Increased noise or vibration during operation

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
