The gasket should be secured with some kind of latch, lock, or screw. [substeps] If your washer had the gasket on at the beginning, it isn't hard to install with scissors. Open the washing machine door as wide as you can and peel back the rubber that runs around the opening. [substeps] The gasket will remain fixed to the washing machine, but you can pull it open to clean it and make sure nothing is stuck. If you have trouble locating it, ask the owner of your washer, or the manufacturer of the washer if they know of any particular gasket locations on your vehicle. [substeps] If all else fails, consult your owner's manual or online. To locate this gasket, you'll have to open the door to the back of your washer, which may be easy to find on the exterior of a washing machine. Once it's located, have another person open the door to access the gasket.
