Old one got a tear in the front and was leaking water on the floor. Had to take apart a bunch of the machine, and I gotta say that the two seals (inner drum and outer casing) were both tricky to get on properly.

Doing a test load of laundry now, and there’s no leaks (so far), so that’s pretty excellent

    You’ve almost inspired me to change my freezer seal instead of just adding more Vaseline when I can feel cold air leaking.

      You can also do it the lazy (and cheaper) way and get one of those toddler fridge locks to hold it shut

      Why not caulk it? I imagine if you put something like cling wrap on the door to prevent it from sticking together, that’ll work well enough.

        The Vaseline works and can’t be seen from the outside at all

          I meant as a more permanent fix. Sounds like the Vaseline is just temporary.

          You can use clear caulk.

            Oh yeah, I have the gasket for a permanent fix when it’s time for that.
