A washer door gasket — also called the door boot or door seal — is the flexible rubber ring between the drum and the door frame that keeps water inside during a cycle. When it tears, warps, or grows mold in its folds, the washer leaks from the door or holds a musty smell that cleaning cycles can’t reach. Replacing the gasket fixes both, and in most cases the rest of the washer is fine.
Appliance Gasket replaces washer door seals and gaskets across Fairfax County — that’s the only job we do. 4 years, 90-day warranty on every install.
Most appliance repair companies in Fairfax treat a gasket as one line item on a longer service list. We only do one thing — washer door seals and gaskets — which means every technician we send has done this exact job, not a general repair call that happens to include a seal.
A Samsung front-loader and a Whirlpool top-load fail differently at the seal — we treat them differently, not as one generic "washer repair" job.
We've replaced 4000+ washer gaskets across Fairfax City, Vienna, Burke, and the rest of the county — front-load, stacked, and commercial.
Call before you plan around it — most gasket jobs are diagnosed and fixed in one visit.
If the seal fails within 90 days, we come back and fix it — no separate service call charge.
Fill the form — we’ll confirm your slot and price today.
These are the four issues we see most often on service calls across Fairfax County — each one points to the gasket, not a deeper mechanical fault.
Check if it’s a gasket issue — send a photo and your washer’s model number and we’ll tell you straight.
Every washer brand builds its door seal differently — the curve, the mounting channel, how it clips into the drum. A universal-fit gasket is one of the most common reasons a DIY replacement fails to seal properly. We match the gasket to your exact brand and model before we quote a price.
Not every leak or bad smell means a new washer. Here’s how to tell which one you’re dealing with.

Not everyone wants the same thing from a gasket repair. Pick the option that fits how hands-on you want to be.

Gasket leaks rarely wait for a convenient time, so the process from your first call to a sealed door stays short — four steps, most jobs done same-day.
Step one of the process
Call or request your washer gasket quote with your washer’s brand, model, and ZIP code. A photo of the model and serial tag — usually inside the door frame — gets you an exact match faster.
Step two of the process
Call or request your washer gasket quote with your washer’s brand, model, and ZIP code. A photo of the model and serial tag — usually inside the door frame — gets you an exact match faster.
Step three of the process
A specialist arrives in Fairfax County or the wider DMV with the right gasket and tools already on board — home laundry room or commercial laundry setup, same mobile process.
Step four of the process
We fit the new gasket, run the washer, and check the seal before we leave — door closed tight, no leaks.
Washer gasket wear looks different depending on how hard the machine runs — a home washer and a laundromat washer fail on different timelines, and we service both.
Residential
Single-family homes, townhomes, and condos across Fairfax County. A leaking or moldy washer gasket usually means one thing: get it fixed before laundry piles up or water damages the floor underneath. Most residential jobs are done in one visit.
Commercial
Laundromats, hotels, and multi-unit properties run washers far harder than a home ever will — seals wear out faster, and a broken machine means lost revenue, not just inconvenience. We replace large-scale front-load gaskets built for commercial-grade units like Speed Queen, sized for constant daily cycles.
A washer actively leaking during a cycle isn’t a wait-until-next-week problem — standing water can damage flooring and subflooring fast. If your washer is leaking or you’re dealing with heavy mold buildup, call and mention it’s urgent — we prioritize same-day requests for active leaks over routine bookings.

Almost always a torn or warped gasket that can no longer hold a seal during the cycle. If you see water pooling in front of the machine, the gasket is the first thing to check.
Mold builds up in the folds of the gasket, not just the drum. Running a cleaning cycle reaches the drum but not the seal itself — once mold sets into the rubber, the gasket needs to be replaced, not cleaned.
Yes, if you’re comfortable with it — that’s why we offer the part-only and guided-call options. Professional installation just ensures the fit is exact and the seal holds the first time.
In most cases, replace the gasket — if the drum spins evenly and the door locks properly, a gasket swap fully fixes the leak or smell. Replace the washer only if the gasket issue is showing up alongside other problems, like bearing noise or a control panel that’s already failed once.
It depends on your washer’s brand, model, and whether you choose DIY, guided, or full installation. Contact us with your model number for a straight quote before any work starts.
Yes. Bosch compact and full-size front-load washers are one of the brands we regularly service.
Yes — stacked units and tight laundry closets take more care to access, and we bring the right tools for that setup, not just standard front-load service.
Parts and labor are covered for 90 days. If the seal fails within that window, we come back and fix it at no extra charge.
There’s no flat rate, because the gasket is a different part for every brand and model — a Bosch compact boot and a commercial Speed Queen boot aren’t comparable. What we can promise: send us your model number and you get one exact price before any work starts, with no diagnostic fee. If it doesn’t work for you, you owe nothing.
Don’t wait for a small leak to become a bigger repair. Whether you want the part shipped, guided help over the phone, or a technician at your door, Appliance Gasket makes it simple to get your washer sealed properly.
