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.
