Product review (5 stars): My WM2496HWM doesn't have drain port.
Fit perfect on my WM2496HWM washing machine.  which didn't have the drain port.  I was going to order 4986ER0004E since my washing was listed in the models using that seal.  But after doing some research online found a web site www.partsdr.com and found my model was built with two different seal depending on build date and they also showed how to check which one was needed.  all is fine no more leaks.  Works great didn't need to buy the high priced pliers to do the job. wasn't as hard as some say it is.
