How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply before inspecting for leaks.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Inspect the gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the rubber door boot all the way around. Look for tears, holes, or areas where the gasket has pulled away from the tub.
- 2. Clean the sealing surfaces: Wipe the gasket and door glass with a damp cloth to remove detergent residue, lint, and foreign objects. Pay special attention to the bottom area where debris collects.
- 3. Check gasket clamps: Gently pull back the gasket edge and verify the inner and outer retaining clamps are secure and not broken. Tighten or replace clamps if loose.
- 4. Test for leaks: With the unit reassembled, run a short fill cycle while observing the door area. If water seeps past a damaged section, the gasket must be replaced.
- 5. Replace the door gasket: Remove the outer and inner clamps, pull off the old gasket, and install an OEM Monogram door boot seal. Align the drain holes at the bottom and ensure the gasket is evenly seated before reinstalling clamps.
When to call a technician: If the door is misaligned or hinges are bent, professional adjustment or replacement may be required.
