How to Replace a Boot on a Frigidaire Front Loader Washing Machine

Frigidaire front loader washing machines are manufactured in a wide range of models, each with varying sets of features and design elements. Each model is equipped with a door boot that creates a water-tight seal around the door when the washing machine is running. A damaged or defective door boot may lead to leaking or other problems. Replace the faulty boot with a new part to restore the washing machine to proper working condition.
