GE Front Loader Washer /Whirlpool Duet Washer Door Gasket Replacement
This page was originally created for a GE front loader washer. But changing the door gasket on a whirlpool duet is virtually identical to replacing the door gasket on the front loader washer on this page. The only notable differences are, that you will need a TOX 20 screwdriver to remove the door lock and step 10 is not at all necessary.
