Whirlpool WP8182119 Genuine OEM Front Load Washer Door Boot Seal

This Front Load Washer Door Boot Seal is a high-quality replacement part that safely contains water between the tub and the front panel of your front-load washer. If your current seal is damaged and leaking water, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. Note that overloading the washer is the most common cause of a damaged or torn door boot. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a Phillips-Head screwdriver, a torque-20 screwdriver, a putty knife, and locking pliers. It also involves some disassembly of the washer and requires novice repair experience. Before installing this durable replacement part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off the hot and cold water supplies in your washer. Important Note: Clamps are not included and need to be purchased separately. Helpful Tip: We recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10501250) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
