New inproveed design
This is the new door boot for several GE front loaders washing machines. GE sell the replacement part for $169. This on is half the price. GE won't admit there the original rubber door boot has an issue that will crack in one of the bottoms comers after 1.5years of usage and leak water. This one is a darker color, thicker rubber and improved design. Easy for the DIY to change in less than an hour (removing top cover and front covers from washer).
GE Washer Replacement Gasket
After searching locally and online I found that the part was cheaper here on amazon and in stock. A few local shops could order it but didn't keep it in stock and it would take a while for them to get it.
The Amazon merchant was fast to ship it which was important to us because we could not wash clothes without it. The part was packed well and was as described.
After a bit of online searches, I found a few people who gave a some directions on how to install the part. After a few screws on the control panel, the top cover, a few gasket rings, and the front cover... the gasket went on quickly. If you search for and follow the instructions you find online you can install this part in 45 minutes to an hour. One thing I would recommend, that I read on one search, was to remove the large weights to make it a bit easier. I WOULD recommend taking these concrete weights off, just one at the top and bottom. It will make your job a lot easier getting the gasket lined...
Great replacement part
I am very please with this purchase. for about half what GE was going to charge me to order this. took about an hour to change out and now my washer works great. no more leaks.
