The rubber gasket came off of my front load washer. I don't know how to get is back on. I called a repair person and was told they don't do that repair because it is too much trouble. Is there a technique or a specialized tool I can rent to fix this or am I out of luck?

Door seal or door gasket
reply back with EXACT model number as found on the label on door rim i'll give you part number

I search on google and no such patch kit. I tried a bike inner tube repair kit and it seems to work, but my holes are less than 1". Check out my post. I have a gasket on the way just in case.

you can try holdthe one side and use a screw driver on the other end try to put the rmetal ring in the gasket. is batter if you have to persons...

These seals are not fun to replace for the average person. There will probably be a spring clamp around the front of the gasket which you can remove with a good pair of needle nose pliers. The back side will be held in with another spring or a screw clamp. If you install a new gasket just work from one side clockwise feeding it around the drum with your fingers. This can be a VERY frustrating process. If you have the extra money I would probably advise just calling a tech out. You will probably be looking at around 200 for the repair. Maybe more depending on the service call and labor.

To avoid the smell when you get a new gasket leave the door cracked between uses. You can also just run an empty load with bleach in it on the highest temp cycle with an extra rinse. (Basically highest heat longest cycle) Once a month.

You can buy and fit a new door gasket if you have the required mechanical knowledge

Take the power off , the top off remove the fitting band take off the old gasket and re-assemble in the reverse order

thats called a bellow. from a scale of 1-10 id say a 9. front assy of washer needs to come apart to be able to get to gasket rear. that is why it leaking just a small tear or bend on the gasket bye the door will cause it to leak. ive done about 50 of those and it takes me about 1 hr. good luck .if u need furthur assistance let us know. thank you.

What finally worked for me was a cup of dishwasher powder, the kind that goes into an automatic dishwasher. Don't know why, but that was the only thing that ever worked!

In the future, leave the door open to dry the washer out between uses
