Product review (5 stars): Just installed it
Just received and installed it. I've never worked on washing machines before but found this not a difficult install. I watched a YouTube video and had at it. My previous seal (7 years old) was torn, leaking and stained. I surprised to see the staining on the inside of the old seal was significantly worse than the outside, gross. The box the new one was shipped in allowed adequate room to not crease or distort the seal. This job took me about 1.5 hours, including coffee breaks. I'm very pleased with this new seal. I read in some reviews that this seal only lasted a few years. Since it is labeled as an OEM Kenmore part, I hope it lasts a lot longer. (I'll update this review if it performs poorly.)
