Whirlpool W11106747 Bellow OEM Part

I noticed the rubber seal (bellow) was damaged near the bottom of the bellow. It looks like removing clothes from the machine had worn away and eventually ripped away some of the seal. This caused water to leak out the bottom of the door. I looked up the model number of my washer on the web and searched for the part number of the bellow. Once I found it I searched eBay, Amazon and a few other places for the part number and opted for Appliance Parts Pros. The part was reasonably priced and they offered overnight shipping. The part arrived the next day and it only took me about 1 hour to change out the part. I googled and found a few sites that went through the steps to replace the part. Washing machine is back up and running!!

I ordered the gasket (perhaps called Bellow) from "ApplianePartsPros.com" and received it in 3 days and personally made the replacement. The whole of the job was not very difficult and was completed in approximately 40 minutes. I did prepare while the part was on order by removing the old "Bellows". Note: there is a Phillips screw on the inner most retention ring (top) which is easily accessed once identified. The job required two people for the installation of the outer (spring loaded) ring.

So easy after watching the video my 11yr old could've fix the gasket.

Replaced all rubber and plastic hoses coming into and exiting the washer discharge pump. They where gummed up with mold and slime. WOW it stopped all odor from discharge into the utility sink. This model required that the whole front of the washing machine be removed which was very intimidating, but after watching the video from Appliance Parts Pros it was easy, I also replaced discharge pump and the bellows since I had it apart anyway and it was 5 years old. Thank you Appliance Parts Pros I almost bought a new washer but your videos saved me $1500.

The job was a pretty easy fix The only trouble I had was getting the outer spring band back on there should be an easier way of doing this.
