How to Replace the Tub Seal on a Frigidaire Stackable Washer

Frigidaire stackable washing machines are manufactured as part of the Frigidaire laundry center appliance line. They can be installed with an automatic dryer connected to it or as a stand-alone unit. The washing machine is equipped with a tub seal that keeps the connection between the tub and door sealed and water-tight. If the seal is damaged, the washer may leak. Replace the tub seal with a new part to keep the Frigidaire stackable washer working properly.
