How do I fix a broken washing machine seal?

Washer door seal broken

It is extremely frustrating when there is an issue with your door gasket. The main issue that occurs when it comes to the door seal is that it has ripped/is broken, or that it has developed mold.

If the seal is ripped or broken, it can cause water to leak out of your washer and will need to be replaced. Mold on the gasket is very unpleasant – nobody wants to put their laundry into an area with mold! However, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem as they can generally be cleaned easily. You can easily find how to properly clean a gasket online, or use the method below:

• Clean the gasket: using a rag, use hot soapy water to wipe all areas of the gasket, including around and underneath.
• Run a cleaning cycle: run a cycle on empty with no clothes inside the machine. Use the hot water setting and add either 1 cup of bleach or 1 cup of baking soda.
• Repeat the cleaning cycle.

If this does not work, you contact the washer repair professionals at Express Repair to help you or replace the gasket.
