•
To remove the Drum Boot (Fig. 6-1) start by removing the Door Boot Spring (Fig. 6-2). The Door Boot Spring is located just under
the front lip of the Drum Boot. Using a small screwdriver, slide the screwdriver under the spring and carefully remove it from around
the seal. With the Door Boot Spring removed, unseat the Door Boot from the washer door opening (Fig. 6-3). As you remove the
Door Boot from the door opening note how the seal will be reseated on the door opening when replaced.
TECH NOTE: When reinstalling the Door Boot make sure that the Boot Tab is located at the11:00 O'clock position (Fig. 6-1).

With the Door Boot unseated from the door opening remove the Top Panel as described in Section 2. For easier access to the
Door Boot Clamp Bolt (Fig. 6-5) remove the Soap Dispenser Housing (Fig. 6-4) as described in Sections 3 and 8. Loosen the Door
Boot Clamp Bolt using an 8mm Nut Driver (Fig. 6-6), but do not loosen completely. With the Door Boot Clamp loose you can now
remove the Door Boot.
TECH TIP: When installing the new Door Boot leave the Boot Clamp loosely fit until you seat the Boot to the Outer Drum, then
tighten the Boot Clamp Bolt. Also make sure to water test the unit before replacing the Top Panel to ensure maximum
visibility for possible leaks.
