4986EN1003F Genuine Door Gasket for LG Front Load Washing Machines, LG Washer Door Seal Boot Replacement

LG part 4986EN1003F is a genuine gasket from the 4986EN door seal family, the rubber boot that seals the door of an LG front loader. LG lists this revision only as a gasket, and related versions come with or without a punched hole, so compare it carefully. There are no models on file yet. Check the code moulded into your old seal, usually on the rim or underside, or send your washer's model number through the parts enquiry form.

Signs your LG front loader door seal needs replacing

The door gasket seals the gap between the drum opening and the door glass so water stays inside during the wash and spin. Over time it can tear on a zip or underwire, perish from heat and detergent, or grow black mould in the folds that won't clean off. A damaged seal shows up as water on the floor in front of the machine, drips from the bottom of the door, musty smells or a leak warning. Check the drain hose, pump filter cap and dispenser before blaming the seal.

Part details

• Genuine LG part 4986EN1003F
• Door gasket from LG's 4986EN washer seal family
• For LG front load washing machines
• Hole or no hole version not stated, compare with your old seal

Changing the door gasket

Unplug the washer and turn off the taps. The seal is held by an outer clamp ring at the front and an inner clamp at the drum, so plan on removing both, and on some models the front panel too. Use the alignment marks on the seal to line it up with the drum, seat the lip fully all the way round, then run a rinse and spin and check for leaks.

Questions about this part

Does it matter if my old seal has a hole in it?

It can. Some LG washers have a hose or nozzle that connects through the door seal, and LG makes versions with and without a hole for it. Check your old seal and match the full code 4986EN1003F before ordering.
