Possible Causes

Torn or punctured door boot seal, Debris trapped between door glass and boot, Loose boot retaining clamp, Misaligned door causing uneven pressure on boot

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply. Water on the floor can be slippery—wipe up spills promptly.

  • 1. Inspect the door boot: Open the door and carefully examine the rubber bellows all the way around. Look for tears, holes, or splits, especially at the bottom.
  • 2. Remove debris: Wipe away coins, hairpins, or lint trapped in the folds of the boot and around the door glass.
  • 3. Check clamps: Gently pull back the outer edge of the boot and verify that the metal retaining band is tight and properly seated in its groove. Tighten or reseat if loose.
  • 4. Test for leaks: Run a short wash while watching the boot area. If water seeps through a visible tear, the boot must be replaced.

Replacing the door boot involves removing the front panel on many Electrolux combos and can be moderately complex. If you are not comfortable disassembling the cabinet, contact a technician.
