GE “RightHeight” washer...got it free, then I found out why. During a test run, using the “basket clean” cycle on this grungy freebie, it started leaking water out of the front left corner of the machine. After tearing into it I found the reason, a cigarette sized oval hole at the 6 o'clock position of the door boot-seal. Anyone have success patching one of these? | ||

Patching a Hole
Ive used a variety of bike inner tube puncture kits as well as marine / fishpond liner repair kits , both work fine with the correct watertight glue !!
Here I`ve used it on a rare Hoover Keymatic door boot from 1961. | ||

Because I plan on selling the washer (two buyers are interested already), and I found a new boot for a fair price, and I have already done most of the work to replace it...that is what I am going to do. The hole is on a fold and that gave me extra pause. I was thinking of sticking a plug in and sealing around and over it as the best way to fix it. This post was last edited 07/14/2020 at 18:09 | ||
