Product review (5 stars): Works for me!
I have a 2008 LG WM2016CW with a drain port and this is the exact replacement boot for mine. Apparently the older models of this washer did not have a drain port and this would not work on those, only on ones that have a drain port. The install was easy enough without the special tool that costs more than the boot seal. The outside spring ring was easy to get off and then on again. The inside one is more difficult because some parts are in the way. I used a zip tie to make a small loop at the end of the spring to pull on. I did have my wife help because I don't have 3 hands. It was not too hard and did not take much time to put on. I went ahead and flushed out the drain hose that connects at the drain port and also took off the main drain hose and flushed it out with the garden hose as long as I had everything apart. I used this step by step video as I went along: [...] . Works great now. My old one had a tear in it and was getting a black mold spot near the drain port which I found out later was partially clogged.
