The spring was definitely the most difficult part and had to get my wife to help. I followed the video and got the job done in 4hrs but took quite a few breaks along the way. I made up my mind before beginning the project that I was going to be patient and that paid dividends. Don't start this unless you have ample time. Drink a couple while you do it but not too much. Saved big bucks!!!

Man, I have been on this for 5 hours now. Drank several, cussed, drank some more. Taking apart AGAIN because it was leaking after I had it all put back together. The spring is by far the hardest part to do. I think I've drank enough because I'm laughing I stead of cussing now...

I do 2 a week in an apartment building and for customers it take 15-20 mins max step 1 do not remove anything you need 2 large clamps the squeeze kind also lubricant the boot b4 you put it on the tub stretch the rear spring about 1-2 inches it will still hold as you put the spring around the rear boot use the large clamps to hold it in place starting at 12 o’clock fold it inside the tub so you can use the clamps

As old as this video is, it's still relevant. Easy to follow step by step instructions. I completed this job today, which saved me $300 that I was quoted.
Replacement complete. The patience required to reinstall the coil spring is understated, but the guide is invaluable.

Just did this as well. Thank you for the video. I agree the retainer spring was very hard and the two wedges provided not nearly adequate. Do what I did, go to the hardware store and buy a 3/4" x 48" wooden dowel for 2-3 bucks. Have them cut it up in 4" chunks and use those for wedges while going around. Double up on the wedges so friction is helping you out.

Anyone do this without the “kit” that holds the spring in place? I’m going to try to use my temperamental wife, may cost me my marriage but here goes
Doing it this way is needlessly complex. You can replace the boot seal entirely through the front door of the washer. I did so myself having never done it before (I did take the front door off the washer to give more access to the boot seal, though). I'd heard this long, convoluted method wasn't necessary, and so gave the simpler method a try. It worked fine and no leaks after 3 weeks of use. (It was so easy to do, in fact, my wife volunteered me to do it again in a few years when the mold builds up again.)
The toughest part of the whole replacement is getting the rear coil spring back on. I read the comments below and knew it would be tough, then spent about 15 minutes trying by myself and getting frustrated. With an extra 2 helpers it only took about two minutes, HIGHLY recommend this approach. Started to put the spring on, put a AA battery at the 10 and 2 clock positions. My wife then held these two firmly in place so they wouldn't slip. I then stretched the spring out from both sides and my other helper used a small wooden dowel (almost anything will work) to work the spring into place from the 3 to 9 positions. Worked great and went fast.

Thank you very much. Even though these washers aren't worth fixing, you at least made it possible for those of us who are foolish enough to try. When it comes to installing the inner seal, drench and I mean drench it in lubricant, I ended up having to use WD40. Good luck to those who try.
Great video! I knew the spring would be a beast so after 10 mins of battling, i took off the front counter weight and had plenty of room to easily install the spring. Saved a lot of time, frustration and patience with that. Thank you for the video!
Awesome video - thank you. Replaced mine today, no issues. The hardest part was of course reinstalling the rear retaining spring. I first put those plastic retainers at 12 and 6 o’clock and secured them to the frame with nylon cable ties. Then stretched one side and fitted it into place, then the other. I am going to dry this one off after every wash - hopefully that will prevent the ugly mold. Thanks again!
That was very challenging! The video was extremely helpful to see the steps, but I agree with one of the comments below that they quickly jumped to the end of the step with putting on the retainer spring because it is SO HARD!I do think this video makes it look deceptively easy. I finally got it after about 90 minutes and my fingers are raw. Here was my technique in the end... Get that first spring retainer thing wedged in there as well as you can. Keep checking on it and banging it in as it'll slip out. if you can get another person to check and hold it in, that might be helpful. Also, I think it helps to make sure that it's not sitting on ANY of the rubber, so it was pushing the rubber in toward the center and the spring a bit. I found other tools that I could wedge in there every few inches which helped in places, but one key is not to lay the spring slack from the first retainer to the next - stretch it as much as you can (even if you don't need to for that first bit) at the beginning and that'll make it easier in the end. I also found a pair of pliers which was the right size to wedge in sideways which helped to push the spring down and into the groove. Finally, I'd say work pretty quickly if possible. The slower you go the harder it is because you tire out and also the retainers slip, but until you get a good technique, I admit, it's really hard to work fast. I failed and cursed quite a few times before finally getting it... Good luck!!

Do some washers have different mechanisms to the spring lock , like a clamp with screw ? I think my Miele might have this clamp screw lock for the inner spring , I’ll check on it. I will not let this job defeat me!
Wow. Thank you so much for the video. I am a handy guy, but that inner spring is a huge pain! What worked for me was about six steel spring clamps with rubber padded tips that you can get at HD/Lowes for $1/each. I would get about 1/8th of the spring on, use a clamp, stretch on another 1/8th of the spring, another clamp, and repeat. It was still a pain and my thumbs are raw, but it can be done!

Hey guys thanks for the video! Couldn't have done it without you. One tip I have for the large spring is to stretch it a little. I stood on it and pulled up. Maybe pull in small sections. I may have stretched it too much. One question/ issue I have after completing tho is my door didn't shut as well as it used too. Luckily it locks when running so it doesn't pop open. Thanks again!

I used some sockets that were just thick enough to stay in place. Harbor freight 7/16, 3/8 drive sockets did the trick lol. I used 2 of them. And found it easier to start at the top, then move the holders (sockets) down as I got more on, but you really have to pull and stretch the spring as you put it on, or you'll over extend the spring and ruin it. Once the spring is a little over half way on, I found the only way I could get it o was to pull it with both hands down, and over the bellow. Then sort of pull the bellow down hold it, while I used other hand to roll it into the channel until it finally snapped down in. Very tricky to install, but was able to figure it out.
I have a tip for everybody for that innerspring because it's pretty difficult. You have to take the whole face of the washer off. Anyway I used two clamps, I started at the top( my washer had an indention on the boot behind the arrow that you snap into a tab at the top of the rim of the washer seat when I was mounting the boot) anyway , get your spring seated and put first clamp on very tight (at 12 o'clock) and work your way counterclockwise. After you get about 1/3 of the way or about 8 o'clock, put the second clamp on but it is very important while you are doing this TO KEEP TENSION ON THE SPRING (KEEP IT STRETCHED OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE) Now with the clamp at 8 o'clock keep working your way to about 5 or 6 o'clock. Then move the 8 o'clock clamp to 6 oclock(left side of where you're pinching) then just keep workin it!!!, I did it by myself but two people would be easier. Make sure you keep tension on the spring until you get half way around( I think I kept tension on it longer so maybe just don't let up until your arm gives out) . Then you should have enough to muscle that cock sucker in there (excuse my French)lol. I used a flat head screw driver for the last 20 percent or so because the folded boot can get in the way. I hope this helps
Thank you very much. It was very hard to put the first part of the seal back but, at the end I was successful. Thank for the video.
The video was very helpful. The retainer spring was difficult. I had my wife help me, with an extra set of hands. Could not have done it on my own. Once again, thanks, you saved us a lot of money. :)

The spring retainers provided are not adequate and I’m not sure how it was possible you were able to install it without additional items. The amount of tension on the spring is enormous. A more realistic installation of that spring requires two or more clamps and a long shaft flathead screwdriver to leverage the spring around the boot.
Thank you for the video - for those shore doing this alone - go and get yourself 5-4 padded clamps at Home Depot 99 cents each - you ll be done in 5 mins
Really easy to put back inner spring if you take out the front panel and have set of at least 3 rubber big clamps (I got at HomeDepot for few dollars each). I used one of those auto mechanic clamps which forms a hole at the end when you close it and use that to drag the inner spring around gasket. Also make sure to use soap. Huge difference. Doing all this, it took me about 20 mins to do the versus trying for hours previously.
Brendunt Scott You do not have the reply feature turned on. Clean everything as best you can, I am not sure baking soda will kill mold you might try bleach. You can also run some Affresh through it to help clean the inside. It is available on out website, part number: AP4308494.
Just finished mine 10 mins ago and I can see how it can be a pain but mine went in like butter. So a few things defiantly use dishwasher soap I mean pour it on. Another thing I did was I had a heat gun and went around the areas that I was working with. When I first tried it without the soap and heat I couldn't get the thing to even start a seal. Once I lubed it up and just heated a section at a time and got it started it just slid in.So overall great video and since you just saved yourself about 50-100 bucks labor go do something fun tonight with that cash you just saved.

So incredibly difficult. That tricky editing makes it look way to easy. Plan on at least 2 1/2 - 3 hours on this project. Key thingsMore soap! 4 -6 Chapsticks wedged in sideways, the full length of the chapstick for 1st spring retailer. The plastic “tools” they provide are practically worthless. Jumbo office binder clips for the second spring retainer. Attached binder clips as you work the spring around the boot to hold it in place. This made all the difference after many failed attempts. Good luck!

If the sprig retainers don't fit between the weight and the tub what can I use to hold it in place. This is infuriatingly difficult. Frigidaire gallery 10 years old.
First, I did not remove the top or front pieces as described in this video, as others have said it wasn't necessary to do the job. Would it have been easier to do? Not sure. I did this gasket/door boot replacement on my 2005 Kenmore front loader last week. The toughest part by far is getting that inner spring to go around gasket without popping off, even with the supplied retainers. I had to get my daughters help and we finally managed to get the spring on. It's definitely a struggle, but I was determined not to pay a service tech to do it. :-). The rest of the job is easy. One other note; there was a lot of crud (for lack of better words) around the washer drum and the plastic rim that the inner boot goes onto. I took some time to get as much of it out/cleaned as possible. You might want to check yours and do the same. I'm in Canada and paid $282 with tax for this part. Was pretty shocked at the cost considering it's basically just molded rubber. I think my next washer will be a top loader again. Then you don't have to worry about the rubber boot needing to replaced.

Just did it myself with the help of a friend. Until I removed the front and top panel, I couldn't even get the inner spring out! Removing the front panel allows for much more space to work with. Would recommend. Also, the it's almost impossible to get the inner spring on with only two hands. retainer thing keeps popping off. You need at least four hands stretching the spring four ways. Last bits, use a flat-head screw driver to ply it in.

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.
The hardest part you skip. Any more tips for getting that freaking big Spring on
We did our washer.. But the drum wouldn't spin when we were done.. Took the bellow/seal back out and the drum was free again.. I'm assuming that I wedged the bellow in too deeply, but it's how it seems to fit.. I'm at a loss...
We replaced the bellow, without removing the top, nor front panels, but the spring is way harder than the ones on the whirlpool washers
Im a technician that just got back into the trade after 10yrs and had never done an electrolux boot replacement I tried for almost 2hrs to put the outer spring ont the boot but it kept slippin out at the end I just got frustrated and had my company send another tech to finish....anyone have any suggestions or tricks of the trade they wanna share?

Can I order the spring retainers separate without ordering the bellow.
The inner spring definitely does not go on anywhere near that easy. My inner spring had so much tension, I could stand on one side of the spring and pull up with both hands as hard as I can on the other side and still barely stretch it enough to go around the door. The installation pins were useless. I tried spring clamps, but there wasn’t enough room to hold the spring while heaving on it to stretch around the door. I know why our repair guy basically refused to change the boot steel when making a previous service call.
This video was more helpful than others.
Does anyone know if this can be done without taking the top and front panels off? My washer and dryer are stacked and was hoping to not have to unstack them and still replace the boot?

I'm having this same problem - my door is rubbing the front of the boot as I try to close it, which also means nothing about the drum would be affecting this problem. I just replaced the latch, too and that didn't help. Would be great to have a solution to this problem.

CrapEagle It's on correctly.. just let it set in and it will adjust itself. My did after 2 months. Just press the door in and hold it while u press start for your machine to begin

Thanks for the quick reply TXguy82, I appreciate it. Hopefully I get the same result - I was going to be so mad if I needed to do more work to get this thing fixed before giving this repair as a Christmas gift!

Sorry you're having a difficult time with it! If you have any questions, we'll be happy to help.
it does not hold it in place when you are stretching that spring... you purposely cut to the end of the part where you were stretching the spring because you probably had problems yourself. The plastic retainers do not hold, and as a matter of fact, they even smacked me in the head as they shot off.

Joel Silverman The spacers are tricky, I have had some that stayed and some that did not. Hope the video helped get the washer repaired!

I actually had to hire repairman (with about 25 yrs experience) who explained to me that the four times he had to do this, he could not do to it himself, and needed a second person to hold the spacers. I actually had to help him.

Joel Silverman I've been working in the field for 2 years now and this is the hardest seal I ever installed, even harder than the first one 2 years ago in school! This is not an easy job as was portrayed in the video.
muito bom
It’s a good thing you cut out all the yelling and swearing While pulling that’s spring around the boot.

Removing the top and front panel is unecessary.
I really do hate to see the GOUGING, the cost for the "special" spring pliers is offthe hook exorbitant. I have a good mind to draw up a set in CAD and water jetcut several hundred pair for 1/2 the money or less WITH FREE SHIPPING. Sure, you can use 2 pair of needle nose w/ a fulcrum of the proper length in-between but that itself is a biotch. The folks selling the bellows should offer the tools at a greatly reduced price w/ each set, not the rip off price you would charge the Taliban for cryin' out loud. Some of these clowns want almost $200 for a set of these "special" pliers... NOT!

+ArtisannasitrA The special tools can be expensive but sometimes are needed. In most videos we try show you how to do it without them but in some cases they have to be used.

Take that counter weight off to save you hours of frustration
This guy's for crap about the back spring. It takes a good 10 plus tries to get it on. Took me an hour. That part will be very difficult
