Description

This rubber door seal replaces a worn or damaged washer boot gasket to help keep water inside the tub and prevent leaks. It restores a tight, flexible seal around the door opening for reliable washing performance. What it does:

• Creates a watertight barrier between the wash tub and the door to prevent leaks
• Helps contain suds and water during fill and spin cycles
• Reduces odors and mold buildup by restoring a smooth, intact sealing surface
• Typical symptom: visible tears, deformation, or water pooling around the door

What's included:

• One replacement door seal/gasket

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before starting any repairs
• Inspect mounting lip and retaining band; replace any damaged clamps or retainers as needed
• Clean the sealing surfaces and allow to dry before installing the new seal
