GE Front Loader Washer /Whirlpool Duet Washer Door Gasket Replacement



This page was originally created for replacing the door gasket on a GE front loader washer. But changing the door gasket on a whirlpool duet is virtually identical to replacing the door gasket on a GE front loader washer. 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.

This page also applies to most Kenmore front-loader washers and the Whirlpool Elite series
