How to Fix a Tub Seal on a Frigidaire Stackable Washer Dryer

Frigidaire stackable washing machines and automatic dryers are set up in stacked units known as laundry centers. The tub seal on the washing machine keeps the front of the tub and the door tightly sealed to prevent water from leaking during a wash cycle. A defective tub seal prevents the washer from operating properly. Remove the faulty tub seal and replace it with a new one to repair your Frigidaire laundry center washer.
