NEW SealPro Compatible Replacement for use with Whirlpool Washer Door Bellow 8181850 AP3128710 PS391621 WP8181850 AP6011740 8181662 - by SEAL PRO

The part fits securely with no leaks. During the first few washes, the washing machine door didn't latch properly with the new bellow. To ensure it stayed shut, I initially used a chair to keep the door tightly closed. After the first two washes, the bellow settled in, and the door has been functioning correctly since then.

A few thoughts after installing it and doing a few loads. 1) Some reviewers state that the rubber is too thin. It is the same as the original part on our washer (a Whirlpool Duet). Since my web-research makes me think that the same part was used by multiple models (and manufacturers) when the machine was new, I can't imagine that it's any different than what came with the reviewers machines when new.2) The install sucked. It WASN'T HARD by any stretch, but the videos I found were for different models than our machine (GHW9100L) -- so I couldn't figure out how to remove the control panel on our model. The breakthrough was finding the repair manual for the machine online (via a website called 'manualslib', which seems like it hasn't been updated since 1980) , and following their instructions. I saw some videos which implied that you could change the boot without removing the front panel, but I can't see how that would work in reality.3) If you have a friend, partner, etc, bring them in on the project...again, it's not tough (and you don't need the weird tools that youtube videos make seem essential), you just need an extra set of hands to hold part of the gasket, while you stretch the other part at the end. My wife helped me, and it made it super easy -- probably 15 minutes of her assistance (after a long time trying to figure out how to remove the control panel and front...see observation #2).That said, although I think it's a bit overpriced for a piece of rubber, it's hella less expensive that the OEM part (and seems equivalent in quality).

I replaced the original boot on my Duet washing machine. The application list included my model. This item is as expected in quality of material and from clamp to clamp is correct as well as sealing the dispenser outlet and top hose. Also seals around door just fine and door is easy to close onto this boot. However the inner part of boot that is supposed to cover space from rotating drum to stationary outer drum is way short for this application. The width of original is 4 1/2" where this is 2 3/4". Therefore there is enough space that objects such as coins or other objects accidentally left in laundry or even maybe part of items being washed could get in between to the outer drum more easily. I installed anyway and have no leaks but I would not purchase this item again for this washer. It's not especially hard to install, I am glad I watched a video before I started though. Installation time was very reasonable in less than an hour.

With a family using the washer a few times daily, the washer bellow seal boot gets good use and tears over time. This is my 3rd installation on this 2002 Whirlpool Duet washer. Product came quickly/on time, and I had the washer prepped and ready as soon as the bellow/seal arrived. (I'm glad I kept the old torn one, there's a small plastic piece/hose adapter that is on the top that needs to be removed and put on the new one, you need this piece!) It fit perfectly, looks to be of good stretchy/durable rubber quality, and so far after 5 loads, no leaks or tears. It took about an hour total to prep and install. Price is very competitive. OEM product is 3x the amount. Plus, I didn't have to make a service call to anyone to get it installed. Win win all around.

Nothing to dislike very good fit

it does not match. WP8181850 . wrong description

Bought as a replacement for the door boot seal (or bellows) on my Kenmore Elite He3t front loading washing machine which takes a WP8181850 boot. My machine is model 110.42926200. The new boot visually appeared to be too large to fit but once I removed the old boot and fitted this new one on, it fit perfectly and seals well. I say it's a little tricky to install because I prefer not to take apart half the machine to do it. (If you keep searching on YouTube you'll find the right video tutorial that leaves the rest of the machine intact.) This is the 3rd time I've replaced a door boot on my machine so I've installed it both ways and prefer a little extra feeling around and pulling to get the boot on just right to having to disassemble and reassemble the top and front of the machine. Now if I can just not fail to remove the rocks my kids like to put in their pockets, maybe this seal will last awhile!

Fit just like the original.
