Front-Load Washer Leaking from the Door? Door Boot Gasket MDS47123602 – Fix Water Leaks Fast

A torn or deteriorated door boot gasket is the #1 cause of water leaking from the front of your LG washer. In most LG and Kenmore front-load washers, the door boot seal takes the full force of every wash cycle — heat, detergent, and mechanical stress cause the rubber to crack, tear, or pull away from the drum opening. When it fails, water escapes onto the floor with every load, mold accumulates in the folds, and the machine may throw a door seal error. ⚡ Most common leak point in LG-built front-load washers. Part MDS47123602 is the genuine OEM replacement door boot gasket that restores a watertight seal and eliminates floor leaks immediately.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Washer powers on and runs cycles normally
• ✔ Water supply hoses and inlet valve are confirmed leak-free
• ✔ Drain pump and hoses show no leaks
• ✔ ONLY problem is water leaking from the front door area during or after the wash cycle
