How to Remove the Bellows On a Kenmore HE2 Plus Washer

The Kenmore HE2 Plus is a high-efficiency washing machine designed for residential or commercial use. The bellows on the Kenmore HE2 Plus automatic washing machine create a tight seal between the washer tub and the door to prevent water from leaking out. If the bellows become torn or are otherwise damaged or defective, they must be removed and replaced with a new part to keep the washing machine working properly.
