Samsung Washer Part DC97-04973B, Replaces DC97 Door Boot Spring Clamp OEM Replacement
If your Samsung front-load washer is leaking water from the door area, a failed or dislodged door boot spring clamp is the most common cause. In most Samsung front-load washers, the door boot gasket is held in place by a spring clamp that wraps around the outer lip of the boot and locks it against the cabinet opening. When the clamp breaks, stretches, or pops off, the gasket loses its seal and water escapes during every wash cycle. ⚡ Common failure point on Samsung WF-series front-load washers. Part DC97-04973B is the genuine OEM replacement clamp that restores a watertight door seal and stops leaks immediately.

Before seating the new clamp, wipe out the gasket channel with a damp cloth and check for debris or mold that could prevent the boot from seating flush. A clean channel ensures the clamp locks evenly and the seal holds under full wash pressure — skipping this step is the most common reason a new clamp leaks within a few cycles.
