A washing machine bellow (also known as washing machine boot) is the rubber part that connects a front load washer tub to the front of the washer to keep the water inside the tub. Mine was ripped and had started to leak. I decided to take a stab at replacing it, so I ordered a replacement part online. It came the very next day I recommend using this site if you need a good parts place.
I ended up using a manual and a youtube video for instructions. However, I only have 2 hands and the retainer spring that keeps the bellow in place was a tight fit so the point of this blog is to show how I did it. A Binder Clip! See it at the top of the door opening? Worked like a charm.
