Rubber seal (boot) needed to be replaced.
I began by removing the seal from the exterior lip of the machine housing. I took a razor and removed any rubber and adhesive that remained on the unit.
Next, I remove the boot from the soap dispenser tube (located at about 11:00 of the opening) with a needlenose plyers. The manual recommends flattening a 3" copper pipe to

I pulled the boot down from the tub housing (with much force) exposing the band that holds the boot in firmly. I one pull, both pieces came out. I could tell getting the new one is was going to be a chore.
I cleaned the area and after about 40 strenuous minutes of getting the new boot onto the tub, only a couple things remained. Even with help, be prepared to dedicate hours of frustration getting the band around the boot securing it to the tub. The working space is minimal and the task is virtually hopeless to slightly possible.
Once that's taken care of, you may feel like you can accomplish anything. The rest goes up in the order it came out. Make sure you slide the boot up as far up the soap dispensing unit as possible before securing the bread tie clamp.
Run the seal around, close the door and have one of you kids clean up the work area (and mop the blood, sweat and tears from the unit and the floor.

Plastic on the door cracked and broke away from the screws on the hinge. Is this door easy to take apart, add new part, then place back on the hinge? If it does not work, is the part returnable?
For model number 417 47102700
Hello,
Thank you for your question. Before you begin any repair please unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet or turn the circuit breaker off. Before you remove the door from the washer place a towel on top of the washer so you may set the door on top of it. Then open the door so you can take it off. Use a number 2 square driver to remove the screws securing the hinge to the door. When you are removing the upper screw, hold onto the bottom of the door so it does not hang and drop. Once the screws have been removed, place the door on top of the washer. To remove the hinge, you will need to remove the bellow to access behind the front panel. There is a spring at the bottom of the bellow, where you will need a flat head screwdriver to get behind it and then you can pull the clamp off of the bellow. Then remove the bellow from the side where the hinge is fastened and use the screwdriver to remove the screws securing the hinge. To remove the inner door panel, you will need to remove all 4 screws. Remove the screws securing the door strike first and set the strike aside. Then remove the other 2 screws. With the screws removed, lift the door up and use a flat head screwdriver and pry in between the panels where the door latch was attached. Carefully pry the panels apart. Once you have it split, run the screwdriver around the door to separate the 2 panels. In some models where the hinge attaches to the door, that section is glued and once you pry the panels apart, you will need to cut that area. You will need to use a hack saw blade. Once it is cut you can pull the panels apart. Then set the outer door aside and inner door from the glass. Use a flathead screwdriver to release the tabs securing the glass. Flex them and push down to release them. Once you have a few of the tabs released the inner door panel should drop off the glass. You can now install the new panel. If you have the type of washer where the panels were glued where the hinge is connected, you will need to use some sandpaper to smooth the area where sawed the 2 panels apart so the new panel can be installed correctly. Once this is done, follow the steps in reverse to reinstall the parts. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
