It's a genuine OE Service part, but.......
Rating by : Mike R PE, 
My 5 year old Kenmore HE5t front load washer bellows developed a tear on the bottom edge.
I made a temp fix via vinyl pool patch & duct tape, it worked for 3-4 weeks as I looked into repair options.
Bought this one March-2012, I saw prices over $100 to in the $60's.
This service part is a genuine OE part, it has all the same in mold markings as the original, and the "run date" for my part was Aug-2011.
However, the "flatness" of this part when you open the door is not the exact same as the original part.
IMO, it's like the part was "too hot" from the mold and developed some waves as it cooled.
What this does is cause water not to drain down, to gather on the bellows itself.
If I could post a picture I would.
The washer does NOT leak, it works 100% at sealing.
Money saver!

I used this part on a Kenmore HE5t 110.47081601. Part fit perfectly. I used the general instructions at fixya.com which I have copied below. Notes/deviations from these instructions are:
HE5t is a little bit different.
1. OK
2. OK
3. First you have to remove the silver trim ring from around the door. This part is just held in place by some retaining clips; as careful as I was, 50% of the clips broke when I took it off. HOWEVER it went back on with no problems. There were two screws behind the dispenser and two under the top cover. Just had to work part to get it off, I believe it pulls off straight toward front.
4. This is is on the OUTSIDE of the washer, it is a hard-to-see wire that you can "pop off" once you find the spring located at the bottom lip of the door.
5. Only two screws. This latch is held in place (on the washer) on a VERY flimsy plastic clip...mine broke but I didn't have any problem getting it all back together.
6. Only two screws. Door will stay where it is as you take them out; you have to lift the door up to remove it.
7. OK
8. OK
9. OK the screw on my "hose clamp" was in a bad spot and took some work to get it loose.
10. No instructions, but fit was intuitive; there was a tab at top center and very apparent where dispenser tube connected.
11. HE5t did not have the tube clamp.
12. The outer clamp was difficult to get back into place. I found it easier to use two sets of needle nose pliers to spread the spring and a beautiful girl to help hold the clamp in place.
13. OK
14. Did not have this diagnostic on HE5t.

This advice is for the Kenmore Elite and Whirlpool Duet FRONT LOADER style washing machines. A lot of concerns have been raised about door bellows molding, mildewing, and/or ripping and needing replaced. A replacement bellow isn?t cheap (prices vary, but are around $75-80), so hopefully these helpful steps will eliminate the need to call a repair service and pay the additional labor charges. This is a repair of MODERATE difficulty. Just follow these steps:
1. Unplug the washer.
2. Remove the washer top panel by removing the three torx-type screws (or 7mm) where it attaches in the rear of the washer. The panel should slide back, and then lift off.
3. Remove the operator console by removing the dispenser and the scew(s) behind it. Take a putty knife and insert it under the console seam right above the door. If you push in slightly while pulling outwards the panel pops off. Use care not to pull or damage any of the wiring. You can leave the wires attached and simply lay the console across the top of the washer out of the way.
4. Locate the wire hoop retainer around the rubber door boot. It is located behind the rubber seam where it attaches to the door frame. Follow this hoop around to the bottom of the door opening and locate the wire tension spring. Gently pry this spring apart and pull the wire hoop from the groove. Pull the rubber boot from the frame and push it inside towards the wash tub. You will also have to remove the door boot from the fill tube on the left hand side of the door opening. There is a small wire clamp holding it in place.
5. Remove the three screws that hold the door latch assembly in place. This is on the right hand side of the door opening. You can leave the latch in place as long as you remove the screws and push it inside slightly to remove it from the front casing of the washer.
6. Remove the door by removing the screws holding the hinges in place. Use care to support the door hinges when loosening. They can bend. Set the door aside in a location where it will not get stepped on or broken.
7. Remove the lower kick panel under the door. There are 3 screws under the bottom edge holding it in place. Sometimes the panel can stick. A slight tap on either side will knock it free.
8. Remove the front washer casing by removing the four remaining screws that are holding it in place. There should be two at the top and two at the bottom. Set the front casing aside.
9. Remove the old door boot by locating the large clamp that attaches it to the wash tub. Loosen the 7mm nut and the boot will detach from the tub. Also remove the boot from the fill tube coming from the dispenser.
10. Install new door boot on the wash tub and install clamp. There should be instructions that come with the door boot with guide marks to ensure you align it correctly. Once you have the boot in place, tighten the clamp enough to where it is snug. DO NOT over-tighten or you may damage the tub and or clamp. In most cases the clamp will break.
11. Once you have the boot in place, re-install everything in the reverse order of how I explained to disassemble. Make sure you connect the door latch assembly BEFORE you re-install the outer portion of the door boot. Also, make sure you install the boot completely over the fill tube. There should be a ridge on the tube where to stop. Sometimes the tube is not inserted all way into the boot and water will leak behind it. The clamp is always difficult to get back in place. If you cannot get the clamp to go back over the tube, you can live without it. Some newer models do not have them installed. Just make sure it is a snug fit where the rubber boot fits ALL the way back to the plastic ridge on the tube.
12. When you get the point where you are ready to install the door boot back over the frame of the door opening ensure you fit it snugly all the way around the door. Beginning at the top of the door, start inserting the wire hoop back into the groove. Make sure to wire spring points towards the bottom. As you work your way around the door to the 4 and 8 o'clock positions, you will need to maintain some constant downward pressure while pulling the spring apart in order to snap it back into place. It would be advisable to use a second set of hands to hold the wire hoop in place while doing this as it has the tendency to want to come out of the groove.
13. Once the door boot is back in place, re-install the operator console and washer top.
14. At the operator console, select DRAIN SPIN, NO SPIN and press any button under OPTIONS 4 times (has to be the same button, though). This will place the washer in diagnostics mode. You should hear the door latch lock and "C00" will be displayed on the console. The washer will run through a series of tests filling the tub, tumbling, draining, and then a final spin. If you do not wish to wait for the test to complete you can press CANCEL at any time. The test checks out everything and takes about 15 minutes. Look for any leaks.
