134365300 Frigidaire Door Boot Spring Clamp, Inner Bellow Spring Clamp

The Door Boot Spring Clamp, also known as the Inner Bellow Spring Clamp, is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for use in Frigidaire front-loading washing machines. This component is crucial for securing the inner bellow seal, ensuring it remains in the correct position for sealing.

Frigidaire manufactures this part, and it is also compatible with appliances from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and certain Kenmore models. Additionally, Frigidaire supplies parts for Sears-Kenmore products.

Replacement of the spring clamp may be necessary due to normal wear and tear, such as torsion fatigue resulting from repeated door opening and closing. Another common reason for replacement is the accumulation of mineral deposits, which can impede the clamp's ability to maintain necessary tension.

Signs that might indicate the need for a new spring clamp include:

- Water leaking from the base of the washing machine door during use.
- The bellow seal becoming loose, allowing it to shift or twist.
- Challenges in passing water-tight integrity tests.

Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the spring clamp can help avoid these issues and extend the life of your washing machine.
