Gasket (Before / After) replacement
Washer door gaskets are one of the most common areas where mold and mildew accumulate. This happens because the rubber seal traps moisture between cycles, especially if the washer door stays closed for long periods. Soap residue, hair, and lint also build up around the gasket, creating the perfect environment for bacteria and mold to grow.
A moldy gasket doesn’t just smell bad - it can affect your clothes, leave stains, and even trigger allergies or respiratory issues. In some cases, it can interfere with the door seal, causing leaks during wash cycles. Regular cleaning helps, but once the mold gets deep into the rubber, no amount of scrubbing will fully remove it.
Replacing the gasket is often the best solution. A new gasket restores the watertight seal, eliminates the source of mold, and prevents future buildup. It also improves the overall hygiene of your washer and extends the appliance’s lifespan. If your gasket looks black, slimy, or smells musty, it’s time to consider replacing it.
