This guide shows how to thoroughly clean the rubber boot (aka rubber gasket, door gasket, or door seal) in your LG front load washing machine. This deep cleaning procedure involves partially detaching the boot to access its inner folds.
The washer's moist environment makes the rubber boot an ideal location for mold to grow. If your washer smells musky or moldy, it's likely due to a dirty boot.
The metal ring holding the rubber boot can be difficult to reinstall. You can buy this tool to make the reinstallation easier, or ask additional people to help.
