How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply before working around the door boot.

  • Inspect boot: Open the door and carefully examine the rubber bellows all the way around for tears, holes, or mold damage.
  • Check clamps: Verify the inner and outer retaining clamps are tight and properly seated in their grooves.
  • Clean sealing surfaces: Wipe the boot and door glass to remove detergent residue and lint that can compromise the seal.
  • Replace boot if damaged: Remove the outer clamp, peel the boot off the front panel, then remove the inner clamp from the tub. Install a new Frigidaire door boot, ensuring correct alignment, and reinstall both clamps.
  • Use HE detergent: Excess suds can cause leaks; use only high-efficiency detergent in the recommended amount.
