Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Door boot appears loose, detached, or not fully seated.
• Visible gap between the inner boot seal and its mounting surface.
• Door may fail to close or lock properly if the boot or retaining ring is displaced.
• Leakage may occur during washing or spinning when the seal is under water pressure.

Check Before Replacing

• Unplug the washer before inspection.
• Visually inspect the inner perimeter of the door boot for a missing, displaced, damaged, or corroded retaining ring.
• Check that the boot seal is seated continuously in its groove and that no section is pulled away from the mounting surface.
• Inspect for water tracks or fresh moisture below the door opening, while recognizing that other components can cause similar leaks.
• Confirm the suspected clamp is the inner boot clamp rather than the separate outer/front boot clamp.
