General PSA Front Load Washer Users!
How many realize that front load washers the boot gaskets have little drain ports at the bottom to release the water back from the gasket to the inner and outer tub to be drained?
If you do not maintain the gasket where the drain ports are you will clog them up and it will cause leaks at the door where the least resistance is.
Follow-up by maintaining the drain filter as well on most models can be found at the front left of the washer or models like GE or Whirlpool will be front right of the washer door.
These two helpful hints will help prolong the washers lifetime so you aren’t through the pocketbook/wallet/checkbook/credit card/college tuition at the appliance when it just needs to be simply maintained.
