The General Electric WH08X23479 Washer Door Boot Gasket creates a watertight seal, preventing leaks by compressing against the washer door and tub. During the washing cycle, the gasket flexes to accommodate drum movement and water pressure. This component effectively confines water within the washing machine. The gasket's design helps reduce mold and mildew growth around the door. It serves to minimize vibrations and noise during operation.
