How do i change the door seal on a hotpoint aquarius wmf940p washing machine

Have you been wiping the glass off in the door. A buildup of detergent crust on the bottom will cause the seal to weep.

to change the door seal you have to take the front boot ring off fold the door boot into the drum and undo the retaining clip around the door seals inner drum you can get a screwdriver in from the top a bit tricky but its the only way as the front is riveted on and wont come off like the older machines

For most front-loaders:
Lubricate the slot which fits over the tub with washing-up fluid. Starting at the top, press the seal so the flange of the tub enters the slot on the seal. Work your way round the using thumbs to force the slot on the tub flange. When slot is on the flange all way round, fit the spring which holds it on. The spring goes into a slot on the outside of the seal. This is quite difficult and you may need another pair of hands. Fit the outside of the seal to the cabinet - this is easy and fit the plastic clamping ring.
Test for leaks before using. Use rinse to test as the water level is higher. (There is no glue anywhere, only clamps,etc)

Pl rate me nice for the free help!

No need to remove seal.
Remove top cover, undo 2 screws securing door lock. and reach down inside the washer to access the door lock.. This is the easy to do it.

this could be

1 door seal
2 heater ellement
3 front plate
4 front plate seal
5 outer container split

try looking at these first

sorry not a answer as such. I found out the machine is still under guarantee. So I just called out the repair man.

You have probably knocked of the connector or the catch (and on these it is very fragile as I have changed the catch 3 times on mine) is broken

I have a hotpoint aquarius washer/drier. I don't know if this will solve your problem but I know with mine, this almost always happens, the only way I can get it to start is by firmly pushing the door a few times around where the lock is, once I hear a little click inside it will start ok. I presume its because it wont start as it isn't registering that the door is closed, the only time it does not do this is if I literally slam the door really hard. Hope this helps you!
