WH08X23479 General Electric Door Boot Gasket, or Seal

The Door Boot Gasket, or Seal, is suitable for GE washing machines and is a genuine OEM replacement part. GE's range includes various brands such as Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. This gasket ensures a tight seal between the machine's tub and door, crucial during its operation. It is crafted to be flexible yet strong, capable of enduring repeated use and different washing conditions.

The deterioration of a gasket can occur due to several factors. Over time, the sealing material may wear out after many wash cycles, or it might develop cracks and splits from continuous use. Additionally, applying too much force to the washer door can cause damage.

If the washer gasket is failing, several signs may be noticeable. These include water leaking from around the door when the machine is filling or spinning, an unusual amount of moisture inside the machine not related to its normal operations, and the door failing to close properly against the tub. Other indicators are loud noises or vibrations from a poor seal, which can also lead to increased water and energy consumption.

This replacement part is also compatible with appliances from Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
