140226024010 Genuine Door Bellow Jet Light 3XL E8WM for Electrolux Group Front Load Washing Machines, Rubber Door Seal

The rubber bellow is the flexible door seal on a front load washing machine, joining the door opening to the tub. Part 140226024010 is a genuine Electrolux group bellow described as jet, light, 3XL and E8WM, with a 384.7 reference. Those codes separate it from many similar Electrolux bellows, including WD versions, so match the number printed on the old seal or your parts list before ordering.

Leaking front loader? Check the door bellow

Every time the door shuts, the glass presses into the bellow to keep water inside while the drum turns. The rubber wears with age and detergent, and coins, hair clips and underwire caught in the fold can slice it. Look for water pooling under the door, drips running down the front panel, a split you can feel when you fold back the lip, or black mould that cleaning won't shift. Small leaks are worth fixing quickly, because escaping water can run down onto the motor, wiring and floor below.

Fitting a door bellow

Unplug the machine and turn off both taps. The bellow is held by a clamp ring at the door opening and another at the tub, and some machines need the front panel off to reach the inner clamp. Note the position of drain holes, any hose connections and alignment marks, fit the new bellow to match, then run a rinse and check for drips.

Questions about this part

What do 3XL and E8WM mean?

They are version references in the Electrolux description. 3XL appears on several Electrolux bellows and door parts, and E8WM is a further reference that narrows it down. Because the codes are easy to mix up, the part number on the old seal is the best check.
