MDS47123605 Washer Door Boot Seal Gasket – The essential fix for an LG front-load washer that leaks from the door, has a musty mold or mildew smell, has a torn or damaged door seal, or won't hold water properly. The door boot seal is the large rubber gasket that creates a watertight barrier between the washer door and the drum — it's what keeps water inside during wash and spin cycles. Over time, the seal can develop tears, cracks, holes, or deterioration from detergent buildup, foreign objects (coins, keys, underwire), mold growth, or general wear. A damaged seal allows water to leak out during operation, often dripping from the bottom of the door or pooling on the floor in front of the washer. The seal's folds and crevices are also prone to mold and mildew growth, causing unpleasant odors that transfer to your clothes. If you see water leaking from the door area, notice black mold spots on the gasket, smell a musty odor, or see visible tears or damage to the rubber — the door boot seal needs replacement. This genuine OEM LG part directly replaces MDS47123604, MDS47123602, MDS47123601, and MDS47123600. Fits LG and Kenmore Elite front-load washers. Moderate 45–60 minute DIY repair that eliminates leaks and odors.
