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)

Why dose my washing smell funny after being washed

I can't believe you haven't heard about this.There has been a widespread issue with all front loader washing machines with mold on the door seals.i have heard that a wipe-down with bleach helps,but there may be other solutions that are better,maybe someone else on FixYa knows.

Few12 will not spin after washing, any ideas

Had the same problem. Removed the kick plate at front and unscrewed filter. In the filter recess I found a cotton wool bud. Appeared to have stopped the blade like fan spinning which appears to push the water into the drain hose. Works perfectly now.

Hotpoint WM51 Washing Machine keeps tripping the electric

Ok that rules out the heating element. There are a number of possible causes so bear with me while i go through them.
Can you open the door? If so leave it open then turn on the machine. Does it trip?

Door of washing machine will not open.

Some times, you have to really pull hard to open the door

If no joy, then you have a faulty door lock.

To replace. remove door seal at front, thius will give you access to the door lock.
