LG Door Boot Gasket Design Change
LG has made a design change and added a drain hole on some front load washer door boot gaskets. If the washer was produced in August 2007 or earlier, you will need to order the gasket without the drain hole. For washers produced from September 2007 and later, it is necessary to check and see if they were manufactured with a door boot gasket with our without a drain hole. To determine which part is correct for your washing machine, we have provided a model number to part number cross reference chart at the bottom of this post.
Comparison pictures of the old part (no drain hole) versus the newer style part (with drain hole). This drain hole is located at the bottom 6 o’clock position of the the gasket.
Match up your washers model number using the model and serial number tag on the washing machine. Once you have located the correct part number from the chart below, you can click on the part number to order the gasket from our online store.
I have an LG WM2075CW washer. The door gasket number is 4986ER0004 NO. 1. The replacement gasket is a 4986ER0004F. This has 3 cutouts at the 6 o’clock position. The gasket will not seal and we end up with a steady stream leak when running the washer. How can I fix this?
I have a WM2487HWM without a drain hole on the bottom. What part # do I need to buy? The one listed above has a drain hole.
