Product review (3 stars): OK Bellows (door seal)
I have had to replace the bellows (Door Seal) on my Whirlpool washing machine three times since I purchased it new in July 2011.
When this seal arrived is was folded into a small box making it appear creased and I am hoping that it will not create a problem either using it or installing it. Since there is obviously a problem with the design or quality of these parts, I decided to just order the cheapest one I could find this time, the last one was installed by the Factory Repairman (and cost more than twice what I paid for this one) it only lasted about 11 months before being torn in three different places. Hopefully this time this door seal will last more than a few months, but honestly, I am expecting to need to replace it annually since they are obviously not designed to last too long when actually being used in a washing machine.
