How to Replace the Rubber Seal on a Tromm Washer

The Tromm line of automatic washing machines is manufactured by the LG appliance and electronics company. The rubber seal on the washer keeps the connection between the tub and the door watertight. If the rubber seal is damaged or defective, the washer may leak when it is running. Replace the faulty seal with a new part to keep your LG Tromm washer operating efficiently.
