This is a door bellow, also known as a door seal gasket, made for various models of washing machine. This bellow is designed to seal the inner drum of the washer from the outside of the washing machine and its internal components. If your washer is currently experiencing issues with leaking, this gasket is likely worn out and in need of replacing. This gasket is made of gray rubber and is sold as an individual OEM part and is sold separately from its necessary clamp.
This hose clamp is used in a wide variety of household appliances. Most often it is found in washers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, garbage disposals, or air conditioners. This clamp is used to securely attach a hose to another part of your appliance, which helps prevent leaks from those connections. Depending on the appliance, it can attach hoses to drain pumps, water inlet valves, pressure switches, and injector nozzles. We recommend you refer to model-specific diagrams for appropriate uses and exact placement. This hose clamp is made of metal, and is sold individually. To access and replace this part you will need a nut driver, pliers, and screwdrivers. Before you begin any repair work, make sure you have unplugged your appliance, and shut off the water supply if applicable.
Replacing your Kenmore Washer Hose Clamp
The hose clamp is used to hold the water hose in place which will prevent the hose from leaking water. Sometimes the clamp may lose its ability to latch on, causing a leaking washer. For the installation, you will need a flat head screw driver to replace the clamp and a drill to access the screws to remove the front of the washer. Be careful if you do not have specific clamp pliers as the clamp could fly off. Once the front of the washer has been removed, take a quick look for water damage or any obvious signs of where the leak is coming from. If it is not obvious, run water to test.

This is an OEM boot seal retaining ring for various models of front-load washing machines. This retaining ring is used to clamp down and secure the inner boot, also known as a seal or gasket, of your washing machine. Over time and with extended use, this retaining ring may break or become worn out, and need replacing. This ring measures features a diameter of approximately 16.3 inches and is made of metal. Because this ring is highly compressed, you will need a set of pliers to secure it around the boot seal of your washing machine. This retaining ring is sold individually, so it does not come with any other parts.
