How to Fix a Door Boot Seal for a GE Front Loader Washer

Front loader washing machines manufactured by GE are produced in a wide range of models, each with a distinct set of design elements and features. Each model is equipped with a boot seal that keeps the connection between the washer tub and the door watertight. If the boot seal gets damaged, the washer may leak when it is running. Replace the faulty door boot seal with a new part to restore your GE front loader washer to proper working condition.
