Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
Washer Bellow Door Boot Seal - Gray Specifications
This door boot, also known as a door seal, is compatible with various models of front load washing machines. It is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer to ensure the best fit with your appliance. The door boot is made of rubber, and it is responsible for creating a tight seal between the tub and the door to prevent water and detergent from leaking out of the washer when it is in use. This helps to prevent injuries and ensure the efficient running of the appliance. It is common for the door boot to wear down over time. It will need to be replaced if it can no longer securely fit around the door frame or if it is torn or cracked.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.

Great part and fairly easy repair
The part came when it said it would which was in 3 days which I thought was very quick.
The video that was sent with the shipping confirmation e-mail was invaluable. I think it would have taken a lot longer to take out the old part and put it the new part without it! And I had my washing machine back and working great in no time!

Easy repair
Video instructions didn't march my model of washer but were enough for me to understand the correct steps and mechanics to complete the job. Took about 30 minutes total to remove old and replace with new.

Easy replacement. Check your detergent tube!
I did have a couple of small holes in the bellows, however, it seems that my water leak was actually coming from the detergent feed tube. The flanged rubber on the basket side of the tube wears from all the movement over the years. Much cheaper part!

Replacement is relatively easy
I found the part easily on the website and bought it. When it arrived the repair went well. The only tool that everyone might not have was a torx driver, but that may vary with model.
It was pretty nice that when they emailed my receipt and tracking information they even included a link to a video on how to do the job.

First symptom was a small puddle of water below the door which became more after every wash. Further investiation showed a rip in the bellows
My washer is part of a washer/dryer stack and i did not remove the dryer for the repair. I followed a YouTube video that shows the basics of how to do this repair: 1. Remove the spring-compressed outer band. Did this with needle nose pliers. Then removed the bellows from the outside of the frame--really easy. 2. Remove th
... Read moree inner band. Used a stubby philips head screwdriver while pushing the tub inward to get more room.It was awkward, but patience is key. Once that was loose i removed the inner ring then the bellows from the tub. Total time for removal was maybe 30 min
For the install i took my time and started at the bottom of the tub and pressed the new bellows in the groove making sure it was in properly. Then the ring went on and again, take the time to make sure it's in the groove. Then tighten. Lastly attache the bellows the the frame of the machine making sure to take your time to properly seat it in the groove. The most challenging part was getting the outer ring back on. expanding the spring is a challenge. I used just needle-nose pliers to expand it while trying to keep it from slipping off. I believe there is a tool to expand the ring and it's probably worth buying it to make this step easier. Over all the install took maybe 30-40 min. Happy i got it fixed. Good luck!

Front Boot replacement due to leaky seal
you need to take off the front panel of the washer to do this repair, start at the top cover the bults are in the back, then the bottom panel on the front, then the control panel needs to come off, after all 3 of those are removed you can get to the front panel the door the door lock also needs to be removed to get this panel off,
... Read morethen a couple small bults at the top of the panel. once everything is removed you can start take off the old boot. start with the front boot seal spring clamp using a flat head screwdriver then remove the boot from the inner drum. then the back boot seal clamp will be removed before you can pull the boot off of the washer installing the new boot I think you should start with inserting the inner seal first then put in a silicone caulking before you pull the outer seal on the inner drum. once that is on re install the clamp and move to the outer seal this you can use an extra set of hands if someone is around if not it is possible to do it yourself, you will need 3 flat head screw drivers to work the front boot seal spring clamp into place. make sure that is seated well before you start to reinstall the door and other panels good luck

Washer leaking during spin cycle
Unplug, remove top and bottom panels using nut driver. The control panel also must be removed; mine just snapped loose, providing access to the top hex-head screws securing the front panel/door assembly. The gasket/bellows is secured to the front panel and tub with circular clamps. The front panel clamp, a wire loop held tight with a
... Read more spring, must be removed prior to taking off the front panel/door. I used a wide blade flat head screwdriver to pry it off. The door assembly is rather heavy and awkward as the door swings randomly once removed. It may be helpful to secure it to the frame with duct tape prior to removal. Six screws, three top and three bottom, secure the panel. Once removed, there is access to the clamp securing the back of the bellows to the tub. This one is a larger loop with a screw type tensioner. After removing it, the old gasket can be pulled out. These gaskets have drainage holes at the bottom which must be in line with the drain hole on the tub. Clean the grooved edge where the gasket sits. It fits inside a channel on the bellows. It’s a snug fit and it helps to lubricate the bellow’s channel with liquid soap. Once it is in place, make sure it’s seated properly-there’s a groove that accepts the clamp-and the drainage holes are positioned over the drain at the tub’s bottom. Replace the clamp in its channel and tighten it with a nut driver or screwdriver. Replace the front panel/door. Next, clean the channel on the front panel and work the front of the bellows into it’s place on the panel. The sprung front clamp can be difficult. There are spreader tools made for the job, but I just used two needle-nose pliers to stretch the spring. After the new bellows is installed, reassemble the cabinet. I left the bottom panel off until I ran a test cycle to check for leaks.

Hole in the door boot seal and water leaking
I followed the instructions in the video (available on the site) and had no problem whatsoever to replace the boot. This video is so detailed that it is difficult to go wrong. Only caution I would make is that this may prove to be a bit too much if the person has never ever used tools before.

Washer leaking - noticed large crack in the seam of the bellow
9 year old washer started leaking - after inspecting noticed a large hole in the bellow.

Problem started and did the removal the first day ordered the part and it arrived 2 days later - install complete in less than an hour. We went back to school/work with a operating washer by the end of the week! Thank you - it was actually kinda fun and my son bragged to his grandfather that 'he and momma fixed the washer'.

The lady wrote to ask if the second large piece in the group of pieces at the door opening should be replaced at the same time as the, bellow, is it?. you answered that they are placed next to each other and gave the part numbers, but, my question also is, should i replace them both at the same time?
For model number WFW9050XW00
Hello Robin, thank you for your question. The only reason the tub clamp and bellow clamp should be replaced is if they have broken, or if the spring on the Bellow To Front Panel Clamp has stretched beyond use. If the bellow is the only piece that is damaged, that other pieces should be able to be reused. I hope this helps!

The door seal is loose, can it be reinstalled or does it need to be replaced? Is it something I can do easy? It appears to be leaking water from the front door seal. Please advise.Thanks
For model number WFW9151yw00
Hi Dennis, Thank you for the question. The door seal is held in place my two clamps. You can try to tighten the clamps or reinstall the seal just in case it was pulled out or came lose. If there is no damaged to the actual seal and it is still lose, you may need to replace the clamps. Hope this helps!

The boot seal on my washer has a tear in it. Now i am finding holes in my clothes when taking them out of the washer. Would replacing this part fix the problem?
For model number MHWE251YG00
Hi Jessica,
Thank you for your question. You might want to take a look to see if there is anything stuck in your washing machine that is causing your clothes and caused your bellow to rip. You will probably want to replace this bellow if it is damaged however. It is the seal between your door and the inside of the drum, so if there is a rip you might eventually get leaking. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Leaking, does this come with all needed parts to replace, or do i need some kind of kit?
For model number WTW9050W00
Hello Mark, Thank you for the question. There are two clamps that hold the bellow in place. You can reuse the clamps you have no if they are not damaged. If they also need to be replaced, you will need to order part numbers Part Number: PS11773093 and Part Number: PS11746259. Good luck with the repair!

I'm getting clothes pinched between the agitator drum and seal. They get caught and then tear as the drum continues spinning. Would ordering a new seal fix this issue? The washer does seem to move around alot more then it use to. Or what you would suggest replacing so that clothes wont be torn in there any more. Ready to order just want to try and be sure to order the right parts. Thanks for any help you can give.
For model number Wfw9150ww02
Hi Tyler, thank you for your question. If you are losing the seal on your bellow, you may have to look at replacing that part and the bellow clamp that keeps it in place. However if your appliance is shaking and moving a lot, you may have to take a look at your shock absorbers for being the issue. Good luck with your repair.
