Water leaks out from the front door opening during or after the wash cycle due to a torn, cracked, or dislodged door boot gasket that can no longer maintain a watertight seal.
Standing water trapped in a damaged or improperly seated gasket creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew, causing persistent musty smells on clothes and inside the drum.
Water splashes or sprays toward the door opening during agitation or spin cycles because the boot seal has separated from the tub or door retaining groove.
Foreign objects (coins, bra underwires, zipper pulls) caught in the gasket fold can cause nicks, cuts, or tears that allow water to bypass the seal and leak onto the floor.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Door Boot Seal the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Water pooling on the floor in front of the washer during or after a cycle
⚠️ Visible cracks, tears, or nicks in the rubber gasket lip
⚠️ Persistent musty or mildew odor even after running a drum-clean cycle
⚠️ Gasket has pulled away from the front panel or tub retaining groove
🔍 Technician Tip: Before ordering, peel back the inner lip of the gasket and inspect for hidden tears near the 6 o'clock drain port — this is the highest-wear zone and often the source of slow leaks that are easy to miss on a quick visual check. Also confirm your model number against the compatibility list below; LG uses multiple gasket variants across similar-looking models.
