I am trying to replace the front seal on a Kenmore HE 2 plus.

I am trying to add the front seal on a Kenmore HE 2 plus clothes washer.  I have removed the old seal but I can't see how the new one can fit. It is exactly the same as the seal I took out it doesn't seem like there is enough room to put the entire seal in. It was difficult to pull out even after I removed the seal rings. My worry is that I can't get the seal on tight enough or in the right place. Is there any tricks to putting it on right?

It's a tight squeeze, remove the lower panel and tilt the machine back to get better access. Once the seal is in place and the seal rings are on, tug on it slightly to make sure it's well seated. Test it with a fill and let it agitate for a few minutes while looking inside the lower panel access to check for leaks (keep some towels handy).

Let me know if you need more assistance.
Good luck!

Why and how to get rid of smell on clothes with a kenmore He2 front load washer

Hi. inside the door seal is a lip that will grow mold or some kind of soap scum that turns black. pull back the edge of the door seal and wipe out with spray bleach ( wear gloves ). Leave the door open a little when you are done using it and that will help to let it dry inside.

Good luck

Rubber door seal has a small tear.

You will probally need to replace it, here is a link that will help Replacing a door seal
I have used 100% silicone to plug the holes. This has held up for several weeks without leaking. I clean the area with alcohol and rub a layer of pure silicone thru the tear trying to get it on both sides. Try to keep the inside layer not to thick so clothes do not get hung up on it, let it dry for 24 hours and it should hold.

My washer leaves oil spots on my clothes

The only place where oil can enter the wash would be if the bearing seals have failed. It's a major repair, and the entire machine has to be taken apart to replace the bearing and seal.
