Anybody know where I can get a comparable rubber boot for a Kenmore Washer Leveling Foot? The metal feet are ok but the rubber is no good. I've searched a bit but can't find anything similar.
Thanks

you may have to go with a generic or another brand, as long as it fits the leg, it should work....

Thanks guys, I was trying to avoid buying the whole assembly, I thought just the plastic piece alone would be cheaper but I may not be able to find just that. The one in the link looks different than the one I have, the hole for the pin is more at the top than mine which is in the middle, not sure if that would work or not. I could take off the plastic foot cover and just use that I guess. Not much of a huge price difference between the one in the link Yogitunes posted and the actual whole assembly.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Frankly, I have had luck on many washers and dryers with sticky felt pads, from Home Depot, supposed to keep furniture from scratching wood and linoleum floors. Don't put them on until you are almost done moving the machine all around since the glue ain't the greatest in comparison to the weight of the machine. But they come in 12 packs or so for cheap $$, and fit anything.

AWAY WITH RUBBER FEET!
I have stopped buying these rubber feet forever.They are so over priced and they do not last.What I have used with all my Duomatics and Whirlpool and Kenmore combos is the cream colored non skid rubber sheets that you put under your carpet runners that you would have on wood floors.This works great! If you have all 4 legs on the machine in the proper position,That machine WILL NOT MOVE.Just cut a 2 by 4 " piece,Fold it in half put it under each leg and you are set.I have never had a machine walk using this method.And believe me you can get some unbalanced loads in a 36" Duomatic.Machine does not move at all.

Be careful with part substitutes
There really is not a proper replacement for this complete foot (the newer belt-drive legs are NOT compatible nor are direct drive parts) as these have been NLA for quite some time. Last I heard GE had a foot pad that might work. Martin's Maytag part might be just fine as well.
Also, I believe I saw some pads listed in the materials list in the BD Rebuild that features an Inglis machine in Vancouver in the current posts. If that part is available in the states, it might be viable for this.
Otherwise, pad-less feet are common on these older machines.
Tom - the pad on the 285244 foot that Malcolm listed is not rubber, and not removeable.

I have used the rubber pads for furniture legs.
