The hardest part is re installing the spring clamp, an extra hand helped. Be sure to keep it aligned so the drain holes stay on the bottom.

If you own a front load washer, this seal will fail over time no matter how heavy or light you load your washer. Also, if your washer is stinky, there's a good chance your old seal will have all sorts of gunk built up on it. I always leave my washer door open, but even with that, it still stinks.If you are handy and have patience, you can do this. Google is your friend. There are plenty of videos on how to remove and install this seal. For the WFW9150WW01, there is no need to take off the top panel of the washer because the front panel pulls off forward AFTER removing the detergent dispenser, one Torx screw to the left of the dispenser and one Phillips head screw centered above the door when open. Take pictures as you are removing the old seal so you know where the new seal should be positioned.The most difficult part will be installing the outer spring that holds the seal to the door panel. I used four spring clamps (similar to Harbor Freight 69290) and an assistant to hold the seal while I stretched the clamp over the seal with a pair of needle nose pliers. You may begin to question life choices at this point, but fear not, you will prevail with strength and patience!This seal is a bit softer and more pliable than the OEM seal so who knows. The better pliability may result in a longer lasting seal OR you'll see a follow up review after this when it fails, lol.

It works just fine. It's a little more bulky than the original but does the trick. This fit my Whirlpool YWFW9151YW00 perfect. Only issue is it leaves a little water and dirt in the lip after doing a load. I just give it a quick wipe to prevent and mold or black spots from forming.

The W10290499, W10381562 Washer Door Seal from SealPro was exactly as advertised. I assume that it is a third-party manufacturer (i.e., not an OEM Whirlpool part), but it sure looks and feels perfect, and is working just fine, and for much less money. Doing the swap out on my Whirlpool clothes washer WFW9151YW00 was not difficult, but does require a few tools, one of which is a star screwdriver (i.e., Torx tip) to detach the left side of the control panel (behind the removed detergent drawer). The control panel just pops off after removing that screw, and the small Phillips screw under its "chin." I did not use a spring spreader tool to remove and install the outer boot spring (see photo), but instead spread the outer boot spring with two small screwdrivers, and some patience. I also found that the wires that connect to the door latch are difficult to unplug, but that this can be avoided completely if you remove the two Torx-head screws from the front of the door latch, that hold that assembly. (Do this after removing the front panel that carries the door.) Again, the seal from SealPro was perfect, and solved my leakage problem.

It fits and decent quality, having my first wash and making sure its working fine, install was a bit hard but nothing crazy, took maybe 2 hours, to put the last spring was a pain had to get my wife to help.

We needed this quick as our washing machine sprung a leak and local appliance parts store said 5 weeks to order it in - Amazon provided it next day (we had to sign up for trial Amazon Prime to get free next day delivery). I soaked it in warm water out of the box for half an hour and then dried it off and then began to install as per YouTube video and of course knowing how the old one came off (lasted just over 7 years until sprung a leak) - I recommend removing old one day before and taking your time, familiarizing yourself with inner parts and ensuring everything is cleaned - don’t forget to clean glass on inside of door where calcium can build up and inhibit proper seal. Installing outer wire clamp was difficult as was too tight and required stretching by my wife and I pulling on the attached spring - I then had her hold it in place while I pulled last bit into slot...without her help I don’t think I would have got the wire clamp back on by myself. Initial inner wire clamp had a screw that attached the two ends of wire together so u can remove that and makes for easy install on new one.This overall was an easy fix and price was right at $180 Canadian as opposed to buying a new washer at Costco for $800 plus tax - not to mention installation hassle etc..I’m VERY happy thus far, 3 leak-less loads in - 5 stars for Amazon ***** Thank you sooooo much!Pictures are of old one as I took machine apart to remove it.

First off, videos make this seem easy. IT IS NOT. NOT AT ALL. The bellow seal fits tight, even if there's a warp. On the inside you have to fit both edges at once which is very difficult (rubbery, slips into tight ridges on both edges on the opening in the area facing inside the washer), then add the clamp ring (with a screw which is hard to get on and tighten -- they must meet together around 10:00 on the opening or you can't get them to meet or screw in), and the ring clamp pulls the seal off if you don't have the seal fitted perfectly and tight. And then you still have to fit the outside which in some ways is even hard. Once you get that in place and fitted tight, you have a second clamp ring that's harder to get on than the first. They don't give you replacements for either of these claps, so if you're like me you use the old ones. I'm not sure new ones would have worked any better. The second clamp right is a gasket clamp and has a tight spring that you have to stretch to fit. You have to be careful and use a flathead screwdriver to pull and stretch the clamp into place, and be extra careful not to slip a rip the rubber of the bellow seal. Bottom line is this -- it costs a lot for a plumber to do this, so if you're handy you can do this like we did. You need at least one person with small hands (that was me) to fit the seal on and replace the clamp rings. My husband's hands were too big to fit in the small crevices that the seal fits in to. One review recommends a quick-grip which we didn't have, but definitely would have helped on the outer gasket ring clamp. Fitting the inside part of the seal, I would recommend you start by making sure you fit both the inner and outer portions in your first part of the install, and make sure they fit and stay in place before continuing. Once you lock the first section in, it stays in place and helps keep it in place as you work around the hole. None of this is easy, period. But if you are patient and want to save $200+ on install, DIY with this seal.

Okay, if you’re here then you too are another front-load sucker. This job needn’t be awful. Do yourself a favour and follow the instructions in every single YouTube video out there; getting this slut on without taking everything apart is challenging. Getting the old one out with two screwdrivers and 10 seconds by no means betrays how the instal will be. This piece fits, works, doesn’t leak and will do what you need for a good price and with lighting-fast shipping. 5 star! Ease of installation? Just take the housing apart and you’re golden. I tried and tried and tried and eventually just removed the stacking lid, pulled the whole goddam place apart, said some awful things my toddler repeated in front of my wife and found 35 cents in change. If you succumb to taking the machine apart, the instal will go well. Now that I’ve done it once, I think I could do it without disassembling the whole goddam housing. I’ll never know though because this front-load nonsense ends when this machine does. Good part. Does what it says. Fits. Hallelujah! Only one screw left over. Could have fallen out of a pair of pants during a wash cycle. No problem.

I want to start this review stating that this fits the Maytag 2000 front load washer Mod-MHWE200XW00. I had to read many reviews to find out if this would work for my machine and it took awhile to find one that said it did. To save you even more time, Amazon also has the best price by far on this bellow especially if you have prime for free shipping with a two day delivery! I replaced this part because of the washer leaking and tearing/ruining clothes. There is a bit of work to take the washer apart to replace the bellow but since this is the third time I have had to replace this part I have it down to a science. Besides putting the ring with the spring on :/ that part takes two men and a boy to get done. There is a reason you need it and I will post a photo at the end of this review so you can see for yourself. There are several ‘how to’ videos on YouTube if you need a little extra help. I will state as some of the other reviews say it does fit a little sloppy, a little water does pool sometimes and it does have a little bit of an unpleasant smell. With that being said I will also tell you, it fits, it’s a great price, it’s not to hard to do yourself, it saves paying the repair man, I had it in two days without expensive shipping and laundry stacking to the ceiling waiting for it to get here, it doesn’t leak anymore, the funny smell is going away with use and the price was right! After much research I have found that replacing the bellow to this washer because it leaks or develops a hole in it over time is a very common problem. Wish I had researched that more before I had purchased the washer! Live and Learn...Good Luck :)
