This door hinge bracket mounts the hinge to the washer's front cabinet, keeping the door aligned so it closes and seals properly. A bent or broken bracket can lead to door sagging, poor latching, or leaks at the door.

• Secures the door hinge to the washer's front panel/cabinet
• Supports door weight to maintain alignment
• Helps preserve proper door-to-gasket contact for sealing
• Typical symptoms: door sags or rubs, won't close/latch, or water leaks at the door

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing.
• Support the door before removing hinge/bracket screws to prevent strain.
• Transfer the hinge to the new bracket and reinstall using existing hardware.
• Align the door and ensure latch engagement and gasket seal before fully tightening.

The door boot gasket seals the opening between your front-load washer's door and outer tub, keeping wash water contained. Replace it if the boot is torn, deformed, or heavily mildewed to restore a reliable, watertight seal.

• Forms a watertight seal between the outer tub and door opening
• Prevents leaks from the front of the washer during wash and spin
• Flexible design maintains the seal as the drum moves
• Common failure signs: water on the floor at the front, dripping at the door, visible rips/cracks, or the boot pulling loose

• Unplug the washer and turn off water supply; wear gloves to avoid sharp edges
• Access the boot by removing panels as required for your model; note hose positions and alignment
• Release the outer and inner retaining clamps/springs and remove the old gasket
• Seat the new gasket evenly, align indexing features/ports, reinstall clamps securely, and run a quick test for leaks

This inlet hose supplies fresh water from the household line to the dishwasher. Replace a damaged or leaking hose to help restore proper filling and prevent water leaks during operation.
