I just moved into a new rental and the LG LG WM3050CW washer has mold covering the boot gasket. My landlord said she'd pay me back to replace the new boot gasket.
I've watched your videos and see you taking off the entire front of the machine. But this washer has the dryer set on top of it and I can't access the top to remove it. Is there any way I can replace this part without having access to the lid screws?
It's a very small space and I don't think I could even move to dryer safely to access the washer. I can send a picture if needed.
Thank you,

Hi Saige, thanks for the question regarding your LG WM3050CW washing machine,
I’m sorry, but you will need to move the machine to an area where you can work on it properly. The lid and front panel must be removed to replace the door seal.
I have added some helpful videos below. Even an engineer would struggle to replace the seal without removing the front, as clips also need to be fitted back correctly.
