how to identify a washer door seal with a fitted nozzle
a door-area leak needs its source confirmed before a seal is ordered. trapped clothing or debris can look like a rubber fault.
the linked 00361127 / 361127-style seal is grey and smooth-profile, without extra spray holes. its pipe/nozzle is already fitted; retaining bands are not included.

scope: do not remove bands for identification. the WFO2060AU/01 note calls for drain openings at the bottom and tub-side lip before front-panel lip under its repair instructions; do not transfer that sequence to unverified models.

steps
- stop the leak
stop using the washer, turn off the tap and unplug only from a dry, accessible point. don't open a hot or water-filled door.
- show the damage
once it is cool and safely empty, inspect the visible rubber and door glass for trapped clothing, debris or a split. photograph the damage and full model label without removing the bands.
- arrange the seal repair
check the full model revision on the product page. have the technician confirm the leak and compare the smooth profile, nozzle and ports; stop if the ports differ. use the right undamaged bands, and don't stretch, cut or alter a seal that won't seat.
- check after repair
have the technician confirm that the seal sits evenly and the door area doesn't leak after reassembly.
