Replacing the door boot on an Electrolux washer is essential to maintain a watertight seal and prevent leaks during the wash cycle. This process, while technical, can be completed efficiently with the right tools and expertise. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth replacement:
- Safety First: Begin by unplugging your Electrolux washer to avoid any electrical hazards.
- Access the Door Boot: Open the washer door and locate the outer retaining spring around the boot seal. Use a flathead screwdriver to carefully release the spring clamp.
- Remove the Old Boot: Gently peel the old boot seal away from the washer’s frame. Next, remove the front panel by unscrewing the necessary bolts, which will allow access to the inner clamp holding the boot to the drum.
- Release the Inner Clamp: Using a screwdriver, loosen the inner clamp securing the door boot to the drum. Once loosened, you can remove the old door boot completely.
- Install the New Boot Seal: Position the new Electrolux washer door boot seal onto the drum, ensuring it is properly aligned and fits snugly.
- Secure the Inner Clamp: Tighten the inner clamp to hold the new boot in place. Be careful not to overtighten, as it may damage the boot.
- Reassemble the Front Panel: Reattach the front panel by screwing it back into place.
- Fit the Outer Boot and Clamp: Stretch the outer part of the new boot seal around the washer’s door opening. Secure it with the spring clamp, ensuring a tight fit to avoid leaks.
- Final Leak Test: Plug the washer back in and run a quick wash cycle to check for any leaks around the new door boot.
