The door seal is torn in the front bottom area. I need to replace this. First I need a part, and second, I need some direction in replacing the seal.Thanks.

Hi their

You can find all your parts on www,reliableparts.com or www.reliableparts.ca

Hope this helps

best place would be marconeapplianceparts they are not only one of the biggest appliance parts manufacturers they seem to be alot cheaper then most others u can actually look at this link under door and tub front to get an idea how to change basicly the metal ring on the outside of the door you would have to disconnect but also you have to remove the front panel as well to reseat the rubber boot back on the tub and yes the seal most definetly has to be replaced if you have any further questions please message me back and please remember to rank this opinion votes are always good to lol thanks again Rick

use your model # to order new seals. they are easy to replace. Just grab an edge with your fingers and pull and the door seals will pull out of the groove they are in. to replace, start at the bottom center of each door pressing the seal into the groove. don't stretch the seal as you replace and it will fit perfectly.

It could need a good cleaning. Residue from soap and food tend to build up in that area all along the bottom of the door and seal. The other issue could be the seal itself, check the rubber seal at the bottom of the door and make sure it is not torn or damaged.
Unless the water level is getting to high, it should be one of these two.
Let me know. If you can provide me with the model number, I might be able to get a little closer.

Hello. The seal swap isn't too difficult. You may have to unstack. If the washer is on the bottom, you may be able to scoot the dryer back enough to make the repair, but the washer case is like a cabinet; each part depends on the other parts for rigidity. For this reason alone, it would be much safer without several hundred pounds above your head. I'd unstack. That said: You can certainly diy. Unplug the washer. With the door open, look at the bottom of the seal. You'll see a ring clamp. Loosen the screw and remove the clamp. Peel the seal inward. It is easier to complete the seal swap with the front off. Remove the door and set aside. Locate the screws for the front of the machine and remove them, gaining access to the seal. Youcan either set the door to the side with the door lock wires still attached, or unclip them, which is easier. With the seal folded inward, you will likely find another clamp at the bottom. Loosen this as well. Remove the seal and replace with the new one, making sure to orient it like the old one was, and fold it to the inside like you had the old one for removal. Replace the front panel. Complete the seal installation, being careful to make sure that the clamp removed earlier gets put back in the groove and seats well. Reinstall the door. Best Regards, --W/D--

take the top off look down where the seal meets on the drum there should be a metal band the goes all the way round the rubber seal .you should see a long screw and bolt holding the band together unscrew the bolt and pull the seal off . the same on the front of the washer good luck

i have a kenmore elite washer the red lite is lit on controlles locked how do i solve this

I would check to make sure the connectors to that door lock are all connected. If they are it's probably the lock/switch mechanism itself. Wow I just checked and they are about $120. The p/n is wh10x10006 You can google around for the best price. Good luck!

why ? is it torn and leaking or just mildew? if not torn cleaning best bet with chlorine bleach and water.if you still want to change it remove spring front front edge pull seal back toward drum on back section big clamping band remove band pull seal off and reinstall reverse order can be a dog if not experienced good luck

the way to replace it is you undo seal from front which might be a thin spring clamp behind the lip of the door seal it will be metal undo your lid look down the front of your washer to see the inside of the back of your door seal it will either be another bigger spring clamp or a screw clamp undo door seal will pullout replace backwards to how youve undone m8
