Installing Door Seals
Installing Door Seals
Certain repairs can involve removing or disconnecting the door seal (gasket) for access. To insure proper
washer operation and prevent leaking, door seals must be reinstalled correctly.
To install door seals:
1)
Align door seal so notch (for spring) at front is centered
under bottom of door.
2)
Carefully push rear of seal over front of tub so seal
properly seats onto tub.
3)
Stretch rear spring clamp over seal and insert into
notch at rear of seal.
4)
Using small hose clamp, attach dispenser hose to seal.
5)
Work front seal lip over front shield flange (so lip
“snaps” in). Tug around entire seal to check if seated.
6)
Align clamp spring at door bottom, then insert front
spring clamp into notch of entire left half of door seal
(180º from top to bottom).
7)
While pulling right side of spring using needlenosed
pliers, pull clamp into right side seal notch, then
carefully release spring. Hold clamp next to front
shield so clamp won’t pull seal off.
NOTE:
Check to make sure seal is
seated after installation so no
leaking will occur.
TIP:
Left-handed servicers -- start
the front spring clamp on the right
side and pull the spring to the left.
