The Door Boot Seal is an OEM component specifically designed for LG front-loading washing machines. Located between the outer drum tub and inner cabinet panels, flexible thermal seals help contain moisture during heavy-duty wash cycles.
Causes of a bad door boot seal can include cracks developing due to impact or flex stress, along with air leaks resulting from compression damage or material wear over extended use.
Symptoms of a bad door boot seal include:
- Standing water or puddles accrued beyond the spinning tub perimeter
- Visible moisture escaping between cabinet seams and door frame edges
- Seal detaching from the drum or inner wall surfaces allowing air gaps
Replacing with an authentic LG boot restores a tight moisture barrier critical to draining washtubs fully. Kenmore and Samsung front-loaders utilizing LG designs also source this precise seal as original equipment.
