You are looking for the screw/nut end of

The big hint is that the water inlet is on the upper left side. Slip the bellow over the edge of the portion that holds the basket where you removed the old one. I started at the top and worked left so I could install

Orient is as it was when you took it off. Slide it around the bellow. You will feel a positive stop. Now it is time to pull the remaining part of the bellow out of the basket and fit it into place. Press it around the outside portion of the opening so it hooks over the lip. This w Read more...Whirlpool Washing Machine Door Boot SealItem # 1027300 Grid is 1 inch square Washing machine door boot.
