Can't just talk about the other site all day, so... against the advice of ChatGPT and others... I am going to attempt to replace the door boot seal on my 15 year old washing machine and document at least some of it here (Mastodon is running a bit slow with latest influx, so we'll see)
Most people seem to expect a glorious failure, but my wife believes I can do it. #SpinImIn #DIYfollies
The door boot seal has holes in it, so any time we run the laundry a ton of water leaks onto the garage floor.... and we just sweep it out onto the driveway (you can see a leftover puddle below).
I have watched a dozen YouTube videos... and have made a (really, not kidding) 37 point checklist to follow.
Welp. This was working out way too easy. Removed the old boot seal with just a few scrapes and curses... only to realize that my washing machine had one without a drainage hose connected to the boot seal... But my replacement boot seal has a drainage hole. This presents a problem.
