How to Change a Door Boot Seal on a Maytag Neptune

Move the Maytag Neptune washer away from the wall. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Open the washer door. Remove the fours screws from the four corners of the door using a Phillips screwdriver.

Push the door inward. Lift the door to disengage it. Lift and remove the entire front door.

Turn the front panel up and to the left to disengage it from the washer, then remove the front panel.

Remove the four screws on all sides of the top panel, then remove the two five-sixteenth-inch hex head screws from the top bracket that secure the top cover to the unit.

Turn the brackets to the side, then slide off the top panel from the washer. Remove all the remaining screws from the top of the washer.

Grasp the hook of the boot clamp spring inside the rubber seal with one hand and the press down on the wire loop connected to the seal.

Pull the spring hook toward the wire loop to disengage the spring. Lift and remove the spring and wire loop out of the washer.

Pull out the door boot seal, then insert the new seal into the same position. Press down on the seal with your thumbs to align it into the grooves.

Reinsert the wire loop and spring hook to hold the seal in place. Reinsert all screws into the top of the washer.

Slide the top panel back on. Turn the mounting bracket back into position. Reinsert the two five-sixteenth-inch screws into the bracket.

Reinsert the four screws into the top panel. Place the front panel back on and push the door back in.

Reinsert the four screws into the front panel. Reconnect the power supply to the wall outlet.
