How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply before disassembling the door seal.
- Inspect gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the entire circumference of the rubber boot. Look for tears, holes, or mold buildup.
- Remove debris: Clean out coins, hairpins, or lint trapped in the folds of the gasket.
- Check clamps: Verify that the inner and outer retaining clamps are secure and evenly seated. Tighten or reposition as needed.
- Use proper detergent: Use only HE (high-efficiency) detergent in the recommended amount to reduce oversudsing.
- Replace gasket if damaged: Remove the outer clamp, peel off the old boot, install a new Costway-compatible door gasket, and refit both clamps securely.
