how to identify a two-opening LG washer door seal
have the leak source checked before choosing the two-opening seal. the MDS66651605-style supply has a small lower opening and a larger oval opening at the upper left when installed.
one seal is supplied without front or rear clamps. MDS666516 alone is not a complete reference.

scope: not the two-small-openings-at-the-top version; excludes WD14060D6, WD14070D6 and WD14130D6. WV5-1409W/WV5-1408W instructions require qualified personnel and authorised factory parts. do not cut openings or imply this supply overrides that requirement.

steps
- leave the washer off
turn off the water and unplug from a dry, safely accessible point. leave a hot or water-filled door closed. once the washer is unplugged, cool and empty, look for torn rubber or trapped fabric.
- check the openings
check the product page and send the full model label and photos of the whole seal and its openings. MDS666516 alone is not a complete reference. a seal with two small openings together at the top is a different version.
- arrange fitting
have a qualified technician find the leak and fit the confirmed seal with the correct clamps. do not cut openings or force another version into place.
- have the seal checked
after reassembly, the technician should check the door seal and its connections for leaks.
