LG & Kenmore Front Load Washer Door Boot Seal Parts — Models & Compatibility

The door boot seal on LG and Kenmore front-load washers takes a beating — it flexes thousands of times, traps water and detergent residue, and eventually starts leaking onto your laundry room floor. This replacement door boot seal (MDS47123605) fits the entire WM3000 and WM3500 series, plus dozens of Kenmore Elite models built on the same platform.

If you're seeing water pooling under your washer after cycles or noticing dampness around the door frame, the boot seal has likely deteriorated. The rubber compound breaks down over time, developing tears along the inner fold where water pressure is highest during the spin cycle.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your model number — it's on a metal tag inside the door opening or behind the detergent dispenser drawer. LG models starting with WM3370, WM3470, WM3570, WM3575, and WM3770 all use this exact seal. Kenmore models in the 796.4139 series (built by LG) also use this part. Cross-reference your full model number with the compatibility list below to confirm fitment.

About This Replacement Part

This door boot seal is the complete bellows assembly that creates a watertight barrier between the washer tub and the outer door frame. The door gasket is prone to wear and tear over time, leading to leaks — especially if you've been using powder detergent or not wiping down the seal regularly. The most common failure point is along the bottom fold where standing water accelerates rubber degradation.

The MDS47123605 replaces several LG and aftermarket part numbers: AP5602285, PS3648651, 2630175, and AH3648651. It's the same seal LG uses in their service network, just without the premium markup. The gasket includes the mounting ring and all necessary attachment points.

Compatible Models

This door boot seal fits over 60 LG and Kenmore front-load washer models. Here are the most common ones:

• WM3470HVA, WM3470HWA, WM3470HWA/00 — LG 4.5 cu.ft. front-loaders with steam
• WM3570HVA, WM3570HVA/00, WM3570HWA, WM3570HWA/00 — LG TurboWash models
• WM3575CV, WM3575CV/00, WM3575CV/01, WM3575CW, WM3575CW/00, WM3575CW/01 — LG stackable units
• WM3770HWA, WM3770HWA/00 — LG 4.5 cu.ft. with TrueBalance
• WM3370HWA — LG standard front-loader
• 79641392510, 79641392511, 79641393510, 79641393610 — Kenmore Elite models

All models listed use the identical door boot seal assembly. LG manufactured these washers between 2012-2018, and they share the same tub and door frame dimensions.

Installation Overview

Replacing the door boot seal requires removing the front panel and outer door assembly. You'll disconnect the spring clamps (inner and outer) that secure the gasket to the tub and door frame. The job takes 45-60 minutes if you've done it before, closer to 90 minutes for first-timers. The trickiest part is getting the inner spring clamp seated evenly — an uneven installation will leak immediately.

Price: $107.99 — significantly less than the $180-220 LG charges through authorized dealers, and you'll avoid the $150+ service call fee if you tackle it yourself.
