383EER4004A/383EER4001A Washing Machine Inner/Outer Spring Expansion Tool Washer Door Boot Seal Clamp Ring Removal Tool For 4986ER0004F/B/G, LG, Samsung, Kenmore, Whirlpool

I recently used this Washing Machine Inner/Outer Spring Expansion Tool to remove the door boot seal (to get to the drain pump) on my LG front-load washer, and it made the job SIGNIFICANTLY easier. The tool's built-in spring provides excellent flexibility, allowing for smooth removal and Reinstallation of the inner and outer tub seal clamps.The ergonomic, non-slip handles offer a comfortable grip. With this tool, I was able to access the areas behind and below to get to the failed drain pump and replace it. Saved both time and money by avoiding a service call.If you're planning to tackle washer maintenance or repairs yourself, this tool is a must-have. It's apparently compatible with various brands, including LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, and Kenmore.

For my second time repairing my LG front load washer, I decided to treat myself to these so I wouldn't have to struggle with the wire clamp that seals the rubber bellows to the opening. It worked like a charm for removing and installing the spring loaded clamp. I hope I won't need to do another repair to that machine but if I do, I already have the tool to speed up the repair.

Wish I had these the first time we took my washer apart. These make it so much easier.

My washer has severe mold in the rubber gasket. We removed it and put into the Clorox mix and the mold completely gone and cleaned. However it is very hard to put it back to machine. My husband got the cut when he trying to use his own tool, thus decided to buy this to try the luck. I’m glad I did the right decision. It is still not easy to extend the spring since the head is straight, the spring will keep coming out when pulled. It takes some afford to get it down. Luckily that it can make it with very cheap price.

Does what it's designed to do.

Bought this when I was replacing the door seal on my Whirlpool WFW9150WW02. This tool opens to approximately 4 inches maximum. The spring clamp on my washer needed to be expanded to about 6 inches. Since I needed to get the job done immediately, I had to resort to bending the jaws out until they opened far enough to expand my clamp. This wasn't easy since this tool is actually built quite well. I had to use a hand held sledgehammer to get the jaws to bend outward. I recommend an expansion tool that screws out. They can stretch the spring much further. Here's an example of one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKYX8W7X/ref=sspa_mw_detail_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWwp13NParams

Great tool, made a difficult job very easy. Worked on an LG WM4270HWA front loader. Once the seal is attached in place on drum, it took seconds to put the spring gasket on. I recommend taking the entire front of the machine off to gain better access to the seal, wiring, drain plugs, etc..

It worked on my washer. Model number is wm2487hwma.
