We have the same washers that are about 5-6 years old. We put a good amount of bleach in the bellow let it sit for a few minutes and run on heavy duty and clean washer about 2-3 times (sometimes more) to get all the bleach and mold out. Those bellows are expensive and a royal pain to replace. Especially when the machines are stacked
Yes, if you are constantly cleaning they will stay clean. Unfortunately tenants let them go years without cleaning and sometimes the stains just don’t come out, or they scrub so hard they scrub a hole through the seal lol
We tackled this yesterday, we looked at a few videos on how to do it. I strongly recommend taking the front panel off first. I think the hardest part for us was trying to do it without taking off the panel. Believe me, it will take forever. There just isn't enough room. Each model is a little different as far as the front, but this plan will work for you. Another tip I have is to organize and "LABEL" the screws. There are a lot of them and it can get a little confusing. Overall, I enjoyed the process and with practice, I think I could knock it out again in 3-4 hours.
I have the exact same washer and dryer. This video helps so much! I've repaired my washer and dryer myself before and super thankful for this video to help replace the bellow. What size, model number of bellow should i get? Ive searched by washer model number and it doesn't show exact bellow to get. Does anyone have a link to which bellow to purchase?
do you know the model number for this washer? I have the same one and need to order parts but are unable to find the right model number to order parts with
I have water collecting in the bellow area but the washing machine drum is dry after a wash cycle. Sometimes really large loads takes forever to drain. I've already cleaned out the drain trap, it was fine. Any ideas?
those holes on the bellow are clogged up, you can try and push it through adn rinse it out, and also pull back on the rubber to get better access. Just don't pull the compression ring off or youll have to get it back on
@@ApartmentMaintenancePro You are absolutely right, I pulled the inner part of bellow out enough to clean the holes in front and behind them. It was like a mouse sized cat furball in total!!! (I have two cats) Thank you so much.
Either the bellow wasnt installed properly or tightly or the hose in 2:39 is loose. Which is my case. Hose loosesn up when the washer moves and it becomes loose and water leaks from where the soap and the water flows
I swear every how-to video I've ever watched is usually of an appliance that is almost like mine but not quite, so it's always just a waste of time for me.
It's the same thing with computers. And once you learn enough and learn to see past the differences and to the similarities, you can get more out of these sorts of videos, etc.
You make it look so easy. I’m super encouraged to do this. Thanks for such an amazing tutorial!
Thanks for great video. It was short & simple, yet provided enough detail to make the job easy.
You did a great job of showing what needed to be done with excellent passing. Thank you. I need to send you the $280 I saved for the DIY repair.
That was the best video to get something done ! Straight to the point and fast and informational! Thanks

Thank you! Great vid

on my washer, the model # label is on the front. Open the door, above the opening on the front panel.

I did this tutorial, but there seems to be water leaking from the bottom of the laundry machine, any idea what could be causing it to leak?
