LG 4986ER0004F Washer Door Gasket/Boot Seal

Replaced my old one from 6 years ago that grew mold on it. This part is a direct replacement. Fits on like a glove. Highly recommend a spring clamp to help grabbing the spring to set the gasket in. Can be done as a DIY if you have time, otherwise hire someone for about about an hour install.

We replaced this gasket on our LG front load washer. This is a necessary task after some time with a front loader; especially if you never learned how to care for it. First, this was the right part for our washer. Second, we couldn't figure out where it went at first or how it fit back on, but videos helped with that. If i could go back and do it again, I would video us taking it apart... I called LG to ask for the correct pliers to expand the rings and they suggested I call a technician; which is not necessary... at all. If you are buying this product, you don't need a technician. Make sure to use dish soap on the gasket so that you can rotate it to the right orientation once you pop it on. It is very thick rubber, and while I was concerned at one point in puncturing it with a flat head screw driver, that never happened. No leaks. Works great. Doesn't smell weird like some things you get from a factory. Looks like brand new. I'm excited to do laundry

Still holding strong after almost 2 years

This part number replaced my original part number and there are some enhancements that you need to be aware of before you can use this on older models. There is a drain port located on the lower area to prevent standing water therefore you will need the following additional parts that will not be listed on the original equipment drawings. I didn’t see a way to plug it. Of course i replaced the outer tub which had a connection port. A drain hose that has three clamps and a connector connects to the drain port I also had to change the balance weight due the hose and outer tub port My model is the wm2077cw, 2006 model It runs like a new washer says my daughter. It should since I replaced the outer tub, bearing, spider shaft, hoses, damper, and springs.

The washer door gasket/seal worked perfect for my LG model: WM2301HR. The repair level was straightforward (several YouTube videos available) and simple. Buying the Moker Washing Machine Spring Expansion Tool to remove the spring made it so much easier. Removing and installing the springs without the expansion tool would be a headache. If the seal would have come with new hose clamps, I would make it 5-stars but otherwise it was perfect.

This was the easy part to slip on when change. Please buy a new outer clamp before starting the job. The spring clamp rots out because of contact with the soap. I did not buy one and will have to buy a new one and install it. The inside spring clamps that holds it to the tub went on easy.but the outer clamp was a struggle.and the hardest to install. It is actually a two person job to put the clamp on. You could put it on with that $67 tool or use a couple of spoons like I did and an extra hand to prevent these from rolling off the metal lip on the door panel. The spoon do two things. First they help the cable into the rubber slot by opening it, then it prevents the cable from slipping out when it tightens up while stretching the spring. You will need to first line up the spring on the bottom in the slot provide in the rubber. This will save you time from taking it apart and reinstalling it.

Fits just like original.

It is difficult installation, it took some wrestling to install it had to remove lots of components.. it appears it was not made for this machine the diameter was small and needed stretching to fit. After 90 minutes finally done. Now the drain does not drain the water from gasket. Amazon sure did me wrong on this recommendation… the rubber appears good quality, to Amazon credit it does not leak..but the fit is questionable Gasket does not drain the door area either. I may have to heat it to stretch the drainage area. A lot more work to get to fit as original if I can not get it to drain properly….it is useless, mold will take to this area I usually do well with Amazon recommendation, but this one was a really bad one I should have purchased original LG components The website said it fits the machine realistically it does not and the seller does not care .

Se debe checar sea para la marca y modelo y quedo perfecta.

Me soluciono el cambio pero tuvieron que adaptarla a la Medida de una lavadora LG de modelo más antiguo.
