What it fixes

- Water leaking from the front of the machine, usually during the wash or spin
- Visible tears, splits or perished rubber around the door
- Black mould or a lingering damp smell that cleaning does not shift
- Small objects such as underwire or coins caught and cutting the rubber

How to fit it

- Open the door and release the outer clamp band (a spring wire or a screw band) around the seal
- Peel the seal off the front panel, then release the inner clamp where it meets the drum and remove it
- Line up the marker on the new seal with the marker on the drum or tub so the drain hole sits at the bottom
- Seat the new seal on the drum lip, refit the inner clamp, then press it onto the front panel and refit the outer clamp
- Close the door, run a rinse cycle and check for leaks
