Samsung Washer Door Boot Seal DC97-18094B

Genuine Samsung front-load washer door boot seal (also called a tub diaphragm). It forms a watertight seal between the wash tub/drum and the door to help prevent leaking.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Water leaking at the door during a cycle
• Visible tear, split, or deformation in the rubber boot
• Mildew or persistent residue embedded in the boot that cannot be cleaned effectively
• Boot lip pulled out of its groove or not seated evenly

Check Before Replacing

• With the washer unplugged, visually inspect the complete boot circumference for tears, cuts, loose sections, or deformed sealing lips.
• Check whether the boot is evenly seated in both the cabinet and tub grooves and whether the retaining bands appear to hold it uniformly.
• Wipe the seal dry and inspect for water tracks after a brief supervised test cycle; stop use if leakage is observed.
• Inspect the boot folds for trapped debris, coins, clothing, or detergent buildup that could prevent the door from sealing.
