Product review (4 stars): Improved replacement over the original gasket
Great replacement for the moldy original gasket in our washer. This one has a design that seems less likely to trap water and gunk in its folds.

It is a very fussy/difficult fit, and the one I got did not come with the two white and black jobbers shown in the photo. I ended up using chapstick tubes (noted in another review) to hold the spring in place during the final reassembly (watch a YouTube video or two for the process and that will make sense). Also, use a little (not too much!) dish washing liquid to lube the gasket when stretching it over the metal flanges on the washer.

You may want to replace your drain pump (much simpler job) while you have the beast open. Think of it as preventative maintenance.

And, lastly, strong hands. You will need strong hands. And a good 3 hours start to finish.
