Mold in the gasket and dispenser residue
The lower folds of the door boot had visible mold, and the detergent dispenser housing had dark residue around the spray openings. I removed the front of the washer to reach the gasket retaining points.
New gasket and dispenser cleaning
I installed replacement door gasket 4986ER0004C around the tub and front opening. The detergent drawer and housing were cleaned before being returned to the washer.
After the front panel was reinstalled, the gasket and dispenser areas were checked again. The invoice total was $382, with a 6-month warranty on parts and labor.
