How to Repair a Frigidaire Washer Door Seal

The front-loading Frigidaire washing machine has a tight seal along the front to prevent leaking. If your machine starts molding or leaking through the front door, it's time to replace the old door seal. The replacement process is long but not hard. As you remove pieces, place them in reverse order along the floor for easy reassembly.

Things You'll Need

  • Screwdriver
  • 7 mm socket wrench
