Whirlpool Washer Door Seal (WPW10111435)

The Whirlpool Washer Door Seal fits around the washer door opening to create a watertight seal during fill, wash, and spin. It helps keep water inside the tub while the door is closed, and it also guides small amounts of water back into the tub through its drain ports to reduce pooling at the front of the machine.

Door seals can fail from normal wear, repeated flexing, and friction from laundry. They can also tear from sharp items like zippers, coins, or bra wires. Mold and detergent buildup may harden the rubber or clog the drain ports, which can lead to leaks and odors. Misalignment, overloading, or debris trapped between the door and seal can speed up damage.

Look for these symptoms to decide if this door seal matches your problem:

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

Visible tears, holes, or worn spots on the rubber gasket

Water collecting in the bottom folds of the seal that does not drain

Musty odor or visible mold that returns soon after cleaning

Door not closing evenly due to a warped, loose, or deformed seal
