Motor seal or buffers are essential components that prevent water and detergent from entering the motor housing, protecting it from damage. Buffer helps to reduce vibration during the spin cycle, ensuring quiet operation and reducing wear on internal parts. It is made from durable rubber or silicon; these parts resist heat, moisture and chemical exposure from detergent

The common signs that a seal or buffer needs replacement include unusual noise, visible water leaks or motor vibration. A worn-out buffer can affect the motors alignment and stability leading to inefficient operation or premature motor failure.

Check periodically for cracks, hardening or loosening. Replace if the material appears degraded or misshaped.

Please ensure the seal or buffer matches the make and model of your washing machine for optimal performance and protection.
