Using this door gasket is easy. First, make sure your washing machine is unplugged and turned off. Then, remove the old gasket carefully. Place the new gasket in position, using the inner and outer wire clamps to secure it properly. When using your washing machine, avoid overloading it as this can put extra stress on the gasket. As a maintenance tip, clean the gasket regularly with a mild detergent to prevent the build - up of dirt and mold. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, replace the gasket promptly. And remember, if you're ever in doubt about the suitability of this gasket for your machine, check with us using your model number.
