Product review (4 stars): Keep it dry, and free of debre or it will mold or lose ablility to seal.
The assembly was done by a sears repair man, it was a time consuming job. He had to basically take the washer apart, just to replace the rubber boot. After one year of warranty Samsung refused to honor warranty to replace it. It is a must to keep the boot wiped down and dry, otherwise it will mold. Helpful to leave door open when its not in use to keep it aired out. The smallest thing such as hair or other debre can cause it not to seal properly causing it to leak.
