Product review (5 stars): Correct (revised) part for our 16-yr old Kenmore HE3t Front Loader - fixed the MOLD problem.
Correct (revised OEM) part for our 16-yr old Kenmore HE3t Front Loader. Slightly thicker/stiffer than the one I replaced - so requires a little more effort to close/latch the door. Fit was exact; cutouts (2) for soap dispenser/hose correct. No leaks so far. Have to say I was a bit of a slacker and reused the (horizontally-geared) inner hose-clamp band and the outer spring-band. Both tightened up fine.
The old door seal was not leaking (even after 16 yrs of hard work) BUT we could not get rid of the mold smell in the drum - in spite of repeated sanitary cycles w/bleach; cleaning tabs; leaving door open, etc. Had gotten to the point that if you left the clothes in the washer after a cycle they'd also smell like mold. Determined that the most likely culprits were this door seal/bellows and the inner discharge hose (I replaced the pump assembly- after 15 yrs of use - last year). Replaced both; and this worked - washer does not smell like mold for the first time in years. I have attached a pic of the old seal to give you an idea of how gross these things get; note that we HAVE cleaned this part (w/bleach products) regularly - but the outer drum (plastic) mating surface (which is inaccessible unless you pull front panel off and uninstall door seal) was also covered in mold and had to be cleaned. Second pic (which Amazon has turned sideways) shows this surface (white plastic, now all cleaned up). You can see in the 1st pic that there's mold growing in the seal recesses/grooves which CANNOT be accessed for cleaning.
So if you've got the MOLD problem (inevitable in this machine unless you live in an arid climate) changing out this seal will fix it - at least for a while. The inner discharge hose also smelled pretty moldy when I pulled it out; I could have cleaned it probably but a replacement was not that expensive. Hope that helps!
