00354135 Bosch Washing Machine Door Boot Seal

Washing Machine Door Boot Seal

The Door Seal, an OEM part, is specifically designed for Bosch front load washers, including brands like Thermador and Gaggenau. It plays a crucial role in creating a watertight barrier between the washer's door and drum, crucial for preventing water leakage during operation and ensuring the machine functions efficiently and safely.

Due to regular contact with water and detergent, as well as the mechanical strain from laundry, the door seal may wear out over time.

Indicators of a worn-out Door Seal include:

- Noticeable damage such as cracks, holes, or tears that could result in water leaks.
- Accumulation of mold or mildew, often accompanied by bad smells and potential health risks, due to moisture and detergent remnants.
- Difficulty in shutting the door or water escaping during the wash, suggesting a loss of elasticity or other damage to the seal.

This specific OEM part is also suitable for use with certain Kenmore models, in addition to Thermador and Gaggenau appliances.
