A torn, cracked, or mold-saturated door boot seal is the most common reason a Samsung front-load washer leaks onto the floor — and the smell never goes away no matter how many cleaning cycles you run. Part DC64-02792A is the direct OEM replacement door bellow that restores a watertight seal between the drum and the door glass. One repair eliminates the leak, the odour source, and the risk of water damage to your floor and cabinet.
Symptoms This Part Fixes
- Water leaking from the front of the washer during or after the cycle
- Visible tear, crack, or hole in the rubber door gasket
- Black mold or mildew embedded in the door seal folds that won’t clean out
- Musty or sour smell from the washer that persists after cleaning
- Door not sealing flush — gasket pulling away from the drum or door rim
- Small items (socks, debris) getting trapped between the seal and drum
- Squeaking or rubbing noise as the drum rotates against a damaged seal

💡 Pro Tip — Clean the Drum Lip Before Installing the New Seal:
Before fitting the new boot, wipe down the entire front drum lip and door rim with a diluted bleach solution and let it dry completely. Any mold spores left on the metal will colonize the new gasket within weeks and restart the odour cycle. While the old seal is off, also check the drain pump filter for trapped debris — it’s the easiest access you’ll ever have to it. Takes 5 minutes and saves a future service call.

Installation Notes
- Skill Level: Intermediate — requires partial front panel disassembly on most models
- First Step: Unplug the washer before any disassembly
- Access: Remove the door seal retaining spring clip (outer) first, then work the seal lip off the drum flange — a flathead screwdriver helps seat the new seal evenly
- Spring Clip: The retaining spring clip is under tension — use needle-nose pliers and work carefully to avoid snapping it
- Seating: Ensure the drain hole at the bottom of the new boot aligns with the drain port on the tub before securing the outer clip
- Test: Run a short hot cycle and inspect the seal perimeter for leaks before pushing the washer back into position
