How to Replace the Gasket in a Bosch Nexxt WFMC3200

The Bosch Nexxt WFMC3200 is a front-loading washing machine. Between the washer tub and the door a gray, rubber seal, or gasket, that prevents water from leaking out of the tub and onto the floor. Because water can collect in the gasket, over time it causes the gasket to weaken and wear out, causing leaks. Gaskets are inexpensive and can be replaced by the savvy do-it-yourselfer.
