Possible Causes

Torn or worn door boot gasket, Foreign object trapped in gasket fold, Loose door gasket retaining clamp, Misaligned door causing poor seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply before inspecting for leaks.

  • 1. Inspect gasket visually: Open the door and carefully examine the entire circumference of the door boot gasket, pulling back the folds. Look for cuts, holes, or mold buildup.
  • 2. Remove debris: Take out coins, bra wires, or other objects trapped in the gasket that may hold it open.
  • 3. Clean gasket: Wipe the gasket with a mild detergent solution to remove residue that can prevent sealing.
  • 4. Check retaining clamps: Inspect the inner and outer metal or wire clamps that hold the gasket to the tub and front panel. Tighten or reposition if loose.
  • 5. Replace gasket if damaged: If tears or permanent deformation are found, remove the old gasket and install a new Casarte-compatible door boot gasket, ensuring correct alignment with drain holes at the bottom.
