Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• The door boot edge is loose, detached, or not held in its front-panel groove.
• Visible water leakage at the front of the washer during operation.
• The door may not close or lock correctly when the boot is displaced.
• Unusual rubbing or noise may occur if a loose boot contacts moving components.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspection.
• Visually check whether the metal retaining ring is present and seated continuously around the outer boot edge.
• Inspect the ring for breakage, deformation, corrosion, or a displaced spring section.
• Confirm that the rubber boot edge is fully seated in the front-panel groove; a displaced or damaged boot can cause the same symptoms.
• After reassembly, inspect the seal area for gaps or pinched rubber before operating the washer.

Pro Tip

Part Details

Key Features

• Genuine Whirlpool OEM outer door-boot retaining ring/clamp.
• Metal ring designed for front-load washer door boot retention.
• Sold as the clamp/retaining ring only; the boot seal is not included.
• Approximately 16.3 to 16.5 inches in diameter according to retailer specifications.

Installation Notes

• Disconnect power and wear suitable hand protection before handling the retaining ring.
• Remove and install the ring carefully so the rubber boot is not cut, pinched, or pulled out of its groove.
• Seat the boot edge evenly around the opening before securing the retaining ring.
• Because the ring is tensioned/compressed, use controlled pressure and avoid forcing it if the boot is not correctly positioned.
• Confirm that the ring is fully seated around the circumference before restoring power.
