Product review (5 stars): Fixed our washer!
I had to do some research on our Whirlpool Duet washer to make sure this was the correct seal. We purchased the washing machine from Sears a few years ago and it started leaking, but when I went to the Sears website, the number superseded to another making things a bit confusing. On top of that, Sears wanted $125 and told me it was a few weeks out.
  I received this item within a few days of ordering. I think it ran me $80 with shipping.
The washer came apart easy enough, the seal was a bit aggravating to install, making sure it was seated correctly all around the lip of the tub. I ended up wiping a small amount of soap around the inner section of the seal where it slips over the washer tub, and this helped installation tremendously.
  After everything was reassembled, the washer works perfectly! No leaks at all.
I will say that comparing the original to this seal, all the markings on it and the color were the same so I have no doubt that this is an OEM part.
