LG Washer Door Gasket MDS47123605

Front-load washer door boot gasket that forms a seal between the washer door and wash tub to help prevent water leakage.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Water appearing below or around the washer door during a cycle
• Door difficult to close or lock when the gasket is damaged or misaligned
• Musty or unpleasant odor associated with residue or moisture retained in the gasket folds
• Visible tearing, cracking, deformation, or foreign objects lodged in the gasket

Check Before Replacing

• With the washer empty and powered off, visually inspect the entire gasket—especially the lower folds—for tears, cracks, distortion, or separation.
• Check the gasket-to-door contact area for hair, clothing, coins, or other foreign objects that could prevent a proper seal.
• Confirm that the gasket is seated evenly around the opening and that no clothing is trapped between the door glass and gasket.
• If there is no visible damage, clean and dry the gasket folds, then observe whether leakage continues during a supervised short cycle; do not assume the gasket is the cause because other washer components can also leak.
