Removing a Door Seal from a Frigidaire Affinity Washer

The Frigidaire Affinity washer is a front-loading unit whose door contains a seal to help prevent water from leaking during a wash cycle. If you notice water coming from the washer door, you may need to replace the door seal. You can remove the door seal manually from the inside of the front panel of the washer, and once you've done that you can inspect the part for any damage.
