Additional Information

This washer door boot seal (part number DC97-16596A) creates a watertight seal to prevent leaks during the wash cycle. If you notice water escaping from the door area or pooling near your washer, a worn or damaged door boot may be the cause.

Unplug the washer before installation to prevent electrical hazards. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during the process.

Replacing this seal restores leak protection and ensures proper washer performance. To extend the life of the door boot, keep the washer door open between loads to allow it to dry fully and prevent mold or mildew buildup.
