Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Water or a puddle appearing below the front door during washing or spinning
• Visible tear, crack, hole, deformation, or separation in the rubber boot
• Debris, lint, or detergent residue trapped in the gasket folds that may allow minor leakage
• Mildew or a musty odor associated with moisture retained in the gasket folds
• Door closure or locking affected when the gasket is displaced or obstructed

Check Before Replacing

• With the washer off, inspect the entire gasket lip and folds for tears, cracks, deformation, separation, or trapped objects.
• Wipe and inspect the gasket underside and folds for lint, clothing, hair, or detergent residue that could prevent the door from sealing.
• Check whether the gasket is evenly seated around the door opening and whether the leak is specifically originating at the door area.
• Confirm that no clothing is caught between the door glass and gasket before operating the washer.
• If there is substantial flooding, stop the cycle, turn off the appliance safely, and inspect other possible sources such as fill hoses, drain hoses, and the dispenser before attributing the leak to the gasket.
