00101681 OEM Door Seal suits LG Front Load Washing Machines, Replaces LG Part MDS66651605, Washer Door Boot Gasket

00101681 is an OEM door seal made to suit LG front load washing machines, as a replacement for LG part number MDS66651605. It's an aftermarket seal built to the original equipment specification, not an LG branded part. If the number on your old seal or your machine's parts list reads MDS66651605, this seal is the match. The door seal, also called a door boot or bellows, joins the cabinet front to the tub.

Front loader leaking from the door? Signs of a worn seal

The door seal forms a watertight ring between the drum opening and the door glass. Because it flexes with every spin and holds water in its folds, it's prone to tears, pinholes and black mould. Coins, underwire and zips can cut it, while harsh chemicals and hot washes age the material. Water dripping from the bottom of the door, puddles at the front of the machine, a musty smell that cleaning won't shift, or visible splits all point to a seal that needs replacing. Check the folds carefully with the door open, as small tears hide well.

Fitting a front loader door seal

Disconnect the washer from the power point and shut off the water.

Fit the seal onto the tub first with any alignment marks matching, refit the inner clamp, then fold it over the front panel and fit the outer ring. Run a rinse to check for leaks.
