Door Seal

Product Description

If the door seal on your appliance needs to be replaced then this is the ideal replacement. Learn more about door seals below:

The washing machine door seal, otherwise known as a gasket, is a very important part of the appliance on a front loader machine. It securely seals the door in place when shut to prevent any water getting out. During a cycle, most washing machine doors automatically lock which is when the door seal does its job best.

The faults listed below indicate an issue with the door seal. You may need to replace the seal if:

o Your appliance is leaking from the front of the door
o The door seal is torn, warped or damaged
o Mould has built up at the bottom of the seal and it's beyond cleaning

Bear in mind that the door seal may not be the only fault that can cause a leak in your washing machine.

Door seals are not a consumable item and so they will usually only need to be replaced if they are perished or broken. However, constant opening and closing of the door can eventually take its toll on the seal, compressing it which can result in a leak.

If you leave any hard objects in the machine during the cycle such as keys or coins, this can tear the door seal, while water left at the bottom of the seal can cause it to perish. If you notice that you door seal is wearing away then it's probably time to change it.
