LG Washer Seal (AGM30030702)

The LG Washer Seal fits around the washer tub and forms a water-tight barrier where moving parts pass through the tub. It helps keep wash water inside the machine while the drum spins and agitates. It also helps reduce water and detergent residue from reaching internal bearings and drive components.

Failure often starts from wear and friction during normal use. Detergent buildup, grit, or small items caught near the sealing surface can damage the sealing lip. Overloading, harsh cleaners, and age can cause the rubber to harden, crack, or lose its shape. Once the seal no longer seats tightly, water can escape and moisture can reach nearby parts.

If you are tracking a leak or moisture-related noise, these symptoms can point to a failed seal:

Water leaking from the front or bottom of the washer during fill, wash, or spin

Drips or a puddle that appears after a load finishes

Musty odor or visible mold around the tub opening area

Grinding, rumbling, or squealing that gets worse over time, especially during spin

Rust streaks, residue trails, or moisture marks near the tub and drive area
