Product review (5 stars): Don't buy a new washing machine just yet
Perfect replacement for my WM2050CW washer.  The original one lasted 7 years of pretty heavy use with a family of 6.  One day we noticed a puddle of water underneath the machine.  On further inspection, I found water leaking from the front and it was clear that the seal had failed.  There was a small rip in the material, about 3/16' long near the drain line.
The old one comes off pretty easily, but the new one is tricky.  I found that if you take off the weights, it's a lot easier.  Don't feel like you need to buy the expensive spring expanding pliers.  A pair of vise grips will do the trick.  I also tried using bicycle tire levers on the front spring and they work as well, but you'll need an extra set of hands.  Either way, between this gasket and new bearings, you can give your washer a new lease on life.
