Condition: New
Appears Brand New, No Signs of Wear or Use

Premium 4986ER0004G Washer Door Seal with Drain Port for LG front load washers. Durable construction, reliable fit, and easy installation.

The Upgraded 4986ER0004G Washer Door Seal with Drain Port is an essential gasket replacement for your LG front load washer. This seal prevents water leaks by creating a tight barrier between the door and drum. Keep your laundry area dry and your washing machine running at its best with this critical part. It is designed to fit select LG washers and adds longevity to your appliance.

Made from advanced, long-lasting materials, this gasket resists daily wear. Every wash cycle puts strain on the door seal, but this upgraded option is designed to last. With a reinforced structure, it stands up to harsh detergents and high water temperatures. This makes it perfect for homes with heavy laundry needs or frequent wash cycles.

The built-in drain port is a significant enhancement. It lets water drain back into the washer tub, which reduces standing water in the folds. This reduces mold and mildew growth, keeping your washing machine healthier inside. A cleaner seal means fewer odors, less grime, and reduced risk of damage to clothes. Mold buildup in washers is a common issue, but this design helps prevent that problem.

Compatibility is a key advantage. This gasket replaces the door seal on various LG front load models, including WM2501HWA and WM2501HVA. It also fits washers like WM2487HRM and covers popular part numbers like 1377589 and AP4439732. If you have an LG washer, check the model label inside the door or on the back. Compare it with the listed model numbers before purchasing for a perfect fit. For a full list, see the LG Corporation Wikipedia page for further LG appliance information.

We recommend checking your existing seal for splits, cracks, or visible damage. If you find water leaking from the front of the washer, that's often a sign you need a new one. Unusual odors, visible mold, or constant dampness around the door area also signal replacement time. This gasket restores full performance and reduces costly water damage risks.

Installation is accessible for both DIYers and professionals. The package comes ready for immediate installation. Most users can remove the old door seal using basic hand tools. Align the new gasket carefully so that the drain port is positioned at the bottom. This step is vital to ensure proper drainage. Tighten all clamps and do a quick leak test with water before running a standard wash cycle. For more detailed instructions, see your washer's owner’s manual or professional videos online.

Regular maintenance of your washer door seal will help extend the life of your appliance. Wipe the seal dry after washes and follow the cleaning directions in your user manual. Consider using washing machine cleaners monthly to break down detergent residue. Staying proactive with your gasket minimizes future repairs and protects your laundry room from unexpected leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Question: How can I confirm if the 4986ER0004G door gasket is the right fit for my LG front load washer?

Double-checking ensures you order the correct gasket and avoid installation troubles. If in doubt, refer to your model's manual or email LG customer service with your model number for confirmation.
• Question: When should I replace the gasket or door seal on my front load washer?
  Answer: If you notice water leaking from the front of the washer after a cycle, mold buildup, or unpleasant smells, these are clear signs it’s time for replacement. Cracks or holes in the existing gasket also mean it is no longer effective. Another sign is dampness around the door area after each load. Prompt replacement avoids more serious water damage and keeps your washer fully functional.
• Question: What steps are involved in installing the upgraded 4986ER0004G door seal, and do I need special tools?
  Answer: Installation usually requires basic hand tools like screwdrivers and pliers. First, disconnect your washer and open the door. Remove the retaining band or screws securing the old gasket. Take the door gasket out and clean the mounting surface. Place the new gasket so the drain port lines up at the bottom. Attach the seal firmly with the provided clamps or bands, and make sure it's seated evenly. Test for leaks by pouring a small amount of water around the door before use. If you are unsure, many online videos illustrate each step clearly, or you can have a professional handle the installation for you.
• Question: What can I do to make my LG washer gasket last longer?
  Answer: Regular cleaning and drying will help the gasket last. After each load, wipe any water from the gasket and leave the washer door open until dry. Monthly cleaning with a washing machine cleaner helps reduce residue. Avoid slamming the washer door or overloading the washer. By following these tips, you will extend the gasket’s lifespan and keep your washer fresh for years.
