Just finished. My wife is happy tysm 😊

This video just saved me. You're amazing. That stupid ring was the worst part. I was ready to buy a whole new washer.

Thank you, SIR !! Could not have done this without you. And btw ... this is the best video, bar none.

Hands down best video for ring/seal install!! I took off the concrete counter balances to make it even easier. lol Thank you for the informative video!

I looked at 20 different videos and this is the one that helped my put the ring back on lol

I too, hate losing a fight to gravity. Thank you for this video, it made me smile while I was frustrated working on my machine

This video made replacing my boot a breeze. Thanks for the info! Saved me from buying a new machine

The absolute best video available for this job, clear steps and good video of each step!! Thank you, I could not have done this without this video, I'm onto my post boot drink much faster than expected!

Thanks !! followed to the letter, even the drink after! For the ring at the end, i pryed open a little one end that holds the spring, and had my two kids hold the ring around and used long nose plyers to put the spring back in . Worked like a charm in under 5 mins! Suscribed to your channel for future help, Cheers!!

Scott, you saved us! Thank you for this thorough and excellent video. My husband used it to replace ours, and it was pretty painless. Another tip, as a rewatched your video, I labeled small clear bags, step-by-step to put the screws in so we knew what order and to what part they went with. So appreciated it.

Starting at the bottom good info!

Great video and instruction!Worked great on my Maytag 2000. Sooo nice to have that old stinky seal/boot replaced!

I actually only came here for replacing the retaining spring in the outer seal and you are the first one to actually show where it needs to go and how the seal itself aligns. Thank you! Also thanks for confirming that it is the worst part lol. I didn't take washer apart completely but did take the door off to access the stupid water filter, and of all of it this spring is the only difficult part

This video helped me out so much! My dryer is stacked on top of my washer and i didnt really want to take out all the screws of the top and front pannel to inspect it and see if i needed to change it, but after taking bottom pannel off i realized the secondary Spring on the back side of the Washer Boot wasnt even on!! It was just free hanging!! Im 90% sure thats why my washer has been leaking from the door for soo long. There are very very minor tears in the boot so i dont think ill replace it but with the front wire off of the boot and the bottom panel off i was able to tighten the secondary spring with a small screw driver

It took five videos but finally someone doesn't say replacing the wire diaphragm is "really easy" bc that is a load of bull crap. Thanks for the close view and the suggestions!

Thanks... Will be doing this next week. Unfortunately I don't have a second pair of hands! Wish me luck

Thanks for this nice video 👏🏼. I managed to change the gasket without much frustration. Now very happy to do laundry again😁.

What a great video, thank you for saving me from pulling my hair out.

For anyone struggling with the spring loop, ductape. Put the loop on, tape over the seal and wrap it inside as I want through I taped more until I had a lil bit left and used a screwdriver to flip the rest on. It was quick compared to using brut strength

Great, easy to follow vid. Just completed this today and your video was all the guidance needed!

Excellent video, made this job much easier! Thank you!

Saw several videos but this helped the most. Thank u.

Video is excellent. Very clear and easy to follow! For anyone struggling to put the boot back on, I used a blow dryer on high to heat up the gasket which made stretching it a bit easier. Also helped to have a 2nd pair of hands to hold it in place! Wasn't easy but don't give up, it's doable.

Good video. Total time for me from start to finish was 1 hour right on the nose. Use a small amount of dish soap on the bottom 1/3rd of the rubber seal when re-installing the wire spring clamp.

Appreciate you!

Fantastic instructions! Perfect! Thank you!!

I have the same washer as in the video with the same problem, your video helped greatly, thanks, also I ordered the Boot from Amazon and the Up and Down Tabs were marked wrong, the holes on the Boot go Down but the Boot was marked as Up....one more thing after fighting with getting it stretched on the rim, I used a little plumbers grease and it went right on, Don't use Vaseline as in contains petroleum and may damage the gasket

Amazing clear video! Thanks!

Thank you. Your video helped me out tremendously.

Thank you for posting this

Excellent video! Thanks a bunch

Your video was sooo helpful, I have the same Maytag washer and it was a breeze to install, I am pretty handy but I gues I can call my self a appliance technician 😂. But seriously anyone can do it. The worst part was having to put on the ring across the door, you definitely need 2 people!! My hand still hurts from doing it.

Best video so far i have seen thank you

Great video. It took me about 5 hours but I did a few other things while I had it apart like replace the water hoses and improved my dryer vent connection with a trip to Home Depot. I suppose it would have been 3-4 hours without the distractions. That front spring loaded clamp is tough. I used my knee to hold the spring in place at the bottom. Then worked my way around the loop until I got to the end near the spring and then used a LOT of force to pop it in place. Whew!

awesome awesome awesome.... this video helped me a bunch. I had to reference another video as well, that was helpful on the last stage with the second clamp. But thanks so much for this, it was a great help!!!!!

Thank you 🙌🏽

a surprise new episode of my favorite show!?

Use a clamp to hold the spring and a stew driver to stretch the other end while fitting the wire around the front drum.

Hey mind was terrible too with the black mold stains, but I soaked in a 2 or 3 table of swimming pool cleaner call shock. It's 2 or 3 kind I use 58% of bleach that way it can soak all nite but 70% is 6 to 8 hrs but definitely not all night it will rid anything organic and dirt comes out looking yur new light Grey powdered look so I wipe it down with vinegar rinse an followed that armored all.

Have same washer, my boot is old and has a hole. Will give updates how I did replacing boot.

The last step where you install the spring. Disconnect the spring from the hook. Using a long nose vise plier. Grip the spring at the end and reinstall to the wire loop. Ensure you have a good hook at the end of the wire. This will require a lot of strength to stretch the wire. But I think this is the fastest way to reinstall the wire spring assembly.

The spring clamp was miserable... what worked for me was to start at the spring and work around till the clamp got tight, then use a flathead to pull the spring out, while also keeping it against the machine, and work the rest of the hoop into place.

Great video. I put everything back together the washer is still leaking! Any ideas would be much appreciated?

Yes, these boots are problematic for producing holes as it gets older, especially if the washer is heavily used. After replacing the boot for the 3rd time, and soon after, developed another leak which trickled water from behind the bottom concrete counter weight, during the high speed spin cycle. I tried several times to pinpoint the cause of leak with no success and lived with a, not so good, working catch pan. During my last attempt to locate the leak, I found it to be coming from the rubber soap dispenser tube which pushes through a hole at the 10 o’clock position on the plastic drum(see video). During the high speed drain cycle, a lot of water travels up into this area and leaks through this loose seal/connection, probably due to the constant vibration, tugging, and possible rubber shrinkage, due to age. I fixed it by cleaning the surface area and applied automotive rubber silicone around the inner flange area of the rubber tube and snapped it back into the drum hole opening with adequate curing time before usage. Buying a new rubber soap dispenser tube would work the same.

New Boot Goofin'

The boot seal I ordered was missing the rubber sleeve where the vent tube goes into. They must have cut it off. I tried to rig it up but I’m not 100% sure the tube will stay in there. This is so irritating.

Question please help. I took the gasket out cleaned it well(it was so filthy) i out the gasket back on, on the inside. Clamped it down, but the sping deal on. Then i out the outer spring on. But it was only washing half our clothes. I think the soap tube or whatever tube that releases water.. i think that it shoots water into the maching but also inside of the gasket. I fucked with it but it wont seem to be in the right spot. I wonder if i should out a dyi scrap type of peice so the water goes where it needs to. I cleaned the trap out to and found socks and quarters. It was hella dirty. Long story short i did pretty much everything you did except that soap/water dispenser seems to be shooting the water in the machine and inside the gasket. Has anyone else ran into this?

So this is the first time you've done it

Can clothes rip because of a bad boot? I have clothes coming out completely shredded lately. Also why do you even need to remove the overhead top panel?

Why does water collect between the boot and the machine after use

There is a spring expansion tool to put on and remove the metal wire ring.

hey wondering if you know where to get the new boot for a Maytag 3000 series washer ???

Is there a way to replace the boot without removing the top panel of the washer? I thought I saw this done once, but not sure if the rear spring can be removed and replaced through the door. Any thoughts on this?

I guess putting a bowl or pan under the catch tube wasn't an option? Instead lets just damage the flooring with skank water. The "Im a Professional" box didn't get checked I take it.
