Replace Door Boot Seal
This is the second time I've replaced this part. It's a super easy job -- anyone can do it! The second replacement was due to the spider arm breaking and that time we had to completely rebuild the washer -- it was worth it! Parts Select is so helpful, they have the parts, and their website is informational.

Door Boot Seal
It was the correct part. And the nicest thing about
your service was the video of the installation you provided.
Even if I didn't install it, at least I knew the extent of the
work.
Thank you.

The part was a quality part. Replacing was not really hard just need to have a little mechanical knowledge. The clamps are the worst part, once they’re on properly you’re all good

Great part, install difficult
The part was great and arrived promptly. A couple of the steps had me tearing out my hair. Removing and reinstalling the inner tension wire was a royal PITA!
I noticed that in the video that the camera cut away when the screwdriver was first applied to the screw to undo the tension wire. Presumably the camera cut away so as to not record the mandatory swearing required to get the screw undone. The concrete counterweights are absolutely positioned to prevent being able to actually unscrew the screw. I had to cut away the old bellows and try about 3 screwdrivers to get it undone.
Getting the bellows seated on the inner flange was another treat! That took a while...
Nonetheless, It was a good experience, and the leak at the door was stopped.

Door boot seal tore and washing machine was leaking water
Watch the video posted on PartSelect. It was excellent and walked step by step through the whole repair.
I only ran into one issue not included in the video. In order to remove the inner ring holding the boot seal, I had to remove the weight at the bottom of the tub. This is easy to remove with a wrench, but took two people

The most difficult part is ensuring you replace the hex nuts and screws in the same location. I took pictures as i removed them to know where to reinstall.
Total repair time was probably 1.5 hours.

Broken Spider Arm
We ultimately rebuilt this washer because I love it so and it was one-half cheaper to rebuild than to buy new! We watched videos and researched the repair and then dove in. Yes, we had to tear the machine down but really it was not that bad of an ordeal. It ended up being much easier than we initially thought but once all the parts arr

I won't bother repeating other people's comments. My repair took a bit over 2 hours. I watched 2 different videos and thought the repair was doable. To remove the first wire band holding the boot seal to the front panel I found using an awl to grab the eyelet near the spring was easier than using a needle nose recommended in the video.
... Read more To remove the second wire band I used an offset screwdriver. One video I watched recommended removing the lower counterweight to get at the band's screw - I did not do that. Putting the new boot seal into the first groove and installing the wire band was the most time consuming part of the job. I did not have extra hands to help. I recommend the second pair of hands for that part to save time. The rest of the install was easy.

The rubber gasket on my front loader had a rip in it and soap and water would leak out at the bottom making a nice puddle to walk in on.

The door boot seal gasket ripped during a load.
I took the outer retainer clamp off and pulled the outer seal off the front of the washer. Then pushed the seal inward to see the rear seal and its wire clamp.

Install outer wire clamp. Done.

Water leaking from the door.
I had to replace the door gasket because there was a small piece that had torn away, which caused large amounts of water to leak when the load of laundry was too big. Smaller loads of laundry would just produce a little bit of water. Unsure of how to replace the gasket, I used a phillips screwdriver to pull the door and front panel
... Read moreoff. I thought that this would be pretty simple, but I soon discovered that it wasn't as simple as removing several screws and pulling the pieces off. The door was easy, the bottom panel was easy, but the front panel was held in place by screws, plastic tabs, the front of the gasket (I'll explain later), and gravity by means of plastic supports. Trying to find and release the tabs, lifting the panel up and out was not self-explanatory. I finally figured it out, and it made changing the gasket out, a breeze. The gasket is held in by two diferent wire spring clamps/bands. One band holds the gasket to the outside of the tub, and the other band holds the gasket to the front panel. Before removing the front panel you must remove the first band which is cleverly hidden by the face of the rubber gasket. Just peel it back...it's in there. I was able to pull/pry this off with a screwdriver because I was not worried about damaging the old gasket. The second band had to be removed with either a 6mm/7mm wrench(I can't remember which) or a stubby phillips screwdriver. The stubby screwdriver is handy because of the proximity of the tubs counterweights. Once the final band is removed just peel the gasket away from the tub, after taking note of how it came off. Put the fully loosened band on the new gasket and fit the new gasket into place. It helped to have two sets of hands to work it around the tub, but probably not necessary. The wrench is necessary to properly tighten the band, because you cannot get enough torque on the stubby screwdriver.Once the gasket is in place you can re-install the front panel, and secure the front of the gasket to the panel. Install the band and it will secure itself by the tension of the spring. Put the door back on and you are ready to wash clothes.

I ordered washer door boot wh08x10036 and it didn't come with a band clamp. Did I order the right one if not can you give me the right part number.
For model number WCVH6800JOMS
Hi Tyrone,
Thank you for the question. You did order the correct boot for the model number but the clamp is sold separately. The part number for the clamp is 1019932.
Hope this helps!
Washing machine made a loud noise the seal between the tub and front door spun and twisted took the front spring loaded ring off in the tub lower than the door opening. Thought i could just been the seal back in place but the tub is about 2 inches lower i had to prop it up from the bottom to get to line up with the door. I think i have more than a seal issue. I need suggestions what to do next
For model number WBVH5200J1WW
Hello Joe,
Thank you for your question. I would actually suggest that you take the back panel off of your machine and take a look at your rear drum and bearing. It sounds like perhaps the Drive Pulley or Rear Drum assembly might have broken.
I hope that helps!

Hello. The sheets in my washer did not ring out the necessary water after a cycle. It does this from time to time. I put it through an additional spin and drain cycle and when i came back the room smelled of burning rubber or possibly a strong gas smell. I had to open the garage door to air it out. I'm exploring what part would be the culprit and am wondering if it's the door boot seal. We also checked the belt in the back of the washer, but it seemed to look ok. How would i know if our door boot seal needs replacing? Is there a way to tell before taking it out? Thanks!
Hi Hannah, Thank you for the question. You would replace the Boot Seal if you had water leaking. It would not effect the appliance spinning out the water from the clothes or sheets.In order for us to locate the correct parts and repair information we will require the model number of the appliance. Once you have located the model number please feel free to resubmit the question and we will be happy to help you. Look forward to hearing from you!

I have this same problem as included below. Occasionally the washer gets a rapid knocking when spin drying so i stop it and restart it, which allows the cycle to complete without the rapid knocking. The barrel seems rigid (no movement/slop to indicate a bad bearing). Can you provide detail information on how to determine if a part is defective for each of the items you recommended checking? If all these parts are required, they will cost upwards of $600 for parts alone. If it is just a damaged (rotting?) door seal, then that is manageable." i have seen so much smoke came out during spin cycle, plus when i open the front door i have seen little rubber pieces.

For model number WHDVH660HW
Hi Tony,
Thank you for your question. A washer making a loud noise during spin cycle can also be caused by a faulty drive pulley. The pulley is what the belt (if applicable to your washer) rides on to spin your washers tub. The pulley can be made of plastic or metal. It could be simply worn out or just loose. The only way to know if the parts are defective is to inspect them and if they are electronic parts, you will need a multimeter to test them. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Door boot bellows became twisted. Replaced it but tub doesn't line up with the opening in door and filler spout distorts the boot. Tub appears too low and off to one side. Thoughts?
For model number WCVH6800J0MS
Hello David, I would recommend watching the video that shows how to install this part on our site, under part number WH08X10036. It may be that the spring clamps are not holding the gasket onto the tub which allows the gasket to move with the Tub. I would suggest looking at the inner and outer bellow clamps. I hope this helps!

Installed a new door bellows. The old one became very twisted while was still installed. When attaching the full tube at the upper left the bellows is almost too low. Attaching it causes the bellows to be pulled upward out of shape. When putting the door panel on the edges of the bellows where it should meet the opening in the door is off by about 3 inches. Is there a suspension part i should look for that failed that would cause the drum to drop twisting the original bellows and new bellows to not line up with door opening ? New bellows is in the tub grove and clamps seated properly. Door and tub do not align even without the bellows. Thanks.
