How to Replace the Door Seal on a Washing Machine - Bosch
One of the most common faults of a leaking washing machine is a faulty seal. Thankfully replacing such a component of your washing machine is not a difficult task.
In the above video, with the help of our experienced team, we explain how to replace the washing machine door seal, and below we've compiled a simple step-by-step guide which takes you through every point covered in our video.
Step 1: To remove the door seal on any make and model of washing machine, you'll need to remove the entire front panel, followed by the soap dispenser and fascia.
Removing the panel and fascia is easy to do, once you've undone the screws holding it in place, whilst the soap dispenser should just clip out of place.
Step 2: With these components removed, clip away the kick plate, put the drain hose to one side before removing the retaining clip which holds the door seal against the front of the machine. Once the clip has been removed just push the seal inside.
Step 3: Undo the four remaining screws holding the front of the machine on, before pulling the front of the machine and the door away from the machine.
Once the front of the machine is off, you should be able to see the spring retaining band going all the way around thedrum. This should be easy to pull off, enabling you to peal the whole old seal away; once you've removed the old seal this can be thrown away, although it is advisable to keep the retaining band, as this can be reused with the new seal.
Step 4: You'll now be ready to attach the new seal, when doing so make sure that the drain holes are positioned at six o'clock; once you've done this it is just a case of working the new seal onto the drum.
With the seal worked onto the drum, put the retaining spring into its little ridge, before giving the seal one final check.
Step 5: Reattach all the parts back to your washing machine, attaching the door seal to the front of the machine ensuring that it goes over the lip, before attaching the retaining band on the bottom and sides.
There you have it, a step-by-step guide to replacing the door seal on a washing machine, helping it to perform to its optimum level.

How to Replace the Door Seal on Washing Machine Bosch

Hi Bungle
Door leaks usually mean that there is a tear in the door seal which is allowing water through. OR it could mean that you keep the door closed between washes which doesn't allow the flexible seal to relax.
If it's the latter situation, leaving the door ajar between washes MAY help.
If it's ripped/damaged you'll have to have it replaced. Not a job for the handyman as sometimes 'special tools' are needed.
Usually the front panel has to be removed to access the rear clamp and the counterweights removed..
Good luck

Removing the tub shield gasket is not a simple matter I'm afraid, though not horibly complex. You will need to remove the top of the machine and unclip the fixing ring that holds it to the tub from inside the machine (This is a bit of a tight squeeze!). There is also a fixing ring on the outer edge of the tub shield gasket (Where the door seals to the rubber), usually a clip device that can be unclipped with a screwdriver. The gasket can then be removed. REassembly is a simple reverse of the removal.

HOWEVER, before you do this, you may find that having cleaned it as best as you can, painting some household bleach on the gasket and leaving it overnight then washing it down the next morning will be a great help (You might want to do this for a couple of nights in a row).

Could be you have not got the door seal fitted correctly around the front of the cabinet porthole, and make sure the retaining clamp is fitted correctly.

Take the top panel off by removing the two screws underneath the lid at the rear and look down inside towards the front door edge of the drum you will see a very large metal hose clips holds the door seal on. A screwdriver will loosen the clip then the clip will slip off and then the seal can be removed and replaced

you need to remove the outer retaining ring which is a wire around the lip of the seal typically joined with a spring., using a small screwdriver.
the inner retainer is held together by a ratchet type assembly. prise one end of the wire by twisting the folded end of the wire out of the groove til it comes free.
replace the seal. fit the inner retainer together using some long nose pliers, prefferably bent-nosed. the outer retainer with a screwdriver.

disconnect from mains not that easy first time. undo clip holding seal to cabinet. peel off seal and push inside drum remove top.i remember seal is held to tub by a giant jubilee clip but varies with model. undo clip and remove seal complete. fitting is more difficult lubricate slot that fits flange of tub with washing-up fluid - essential start at top fit an inch or so of slot onto tub flange. work in both directions forcing slot onto flange with thumbs as you go round. refit giant jubilee clip. refit seal to cabinet and refit cabinet clamp. test for leaks on rinse as water level is higher. this job is a knack so persevere
