LG washing machine leaking from the door? Signs the seal has failed

This rubber gasket lines the door opening and joins the cabinet to the tub, sealing against the glass when the door is shut. Its deep folds trap water, lint and detergent, which is why black mould and smells build up there first. Everyday wear, plus the odd coin or hairpin, eventually causes tears, most often low in the seal where water sits. Look for water on the floor in front of the machine, a wet front panel after a cycle, visible splits, and mould that has eaten into the rubber.

Changing an LG door seal

Unplug the washer and turn the taps off. Remove the outer clamp ring and peel the seal back from the front panel, then take the front panel off to reach the inner clamp at the tub. Note any alignment mark or drain hole on the old seal and line the new one up the same way before seating it evenly on the tub lip. Leaving the door ajar between washes helps the new seal stay fresh.
