Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply before inspecting for leaks.
- Inspect boot: Open the Insignia washer door and carefully examine the rubber door boot for tears, holes, or mold buildup.
- Clean seal: Wipe the boot and door glass with a mild detergent solution to remove residue that can prevent sealing.
- Check clamps: Inspect the inner and outer boot clamps for looseness. Tighten or reposition as needed.
