Anyone have a work round for getting on the newer hoover door seals. Wire and 4″ spring inner retainer onto a greased seal?
I agree, the spring type originally fitted on these Hoover models is impossible to refit. The answer is to buy and fit the adjustable wire retainer which supersedes the spring type on these models.
Just reading this, and within minutes got a phone call from a customer saying they’ve fitted their own seal but cant get the inner spring on, guess where i’m going tomorrow!
they can be fun to fit cant they lol
saw a note somewhere that hoover got rid of the screw clamp because of damage to the drum front by being over tightened

I’ve got one of those Dave, it’s OK for front springs or where the front comes off the washer.
Thinking of getting one of these, Maddocks do them to if you have an account, which I don’t.
madocks are ok
the pause your account if you dont use for a while but thats in. min £20 order. bit of a pain as they dont have a way to let you over pay for something. was ordering once and it was £19.99 and they have no way to let me over pay by 1p

Decided to get one of the expander tools, used it twice today so far and makes it way easier.

I usually remove the door and put some cable ties on one end of the spring through one of the hinge mounting holes and a cable tie on the other end of the spring to pull on, this stops the retainer and spring from movng when you pull on it, sounds a bit heath robinson but you can fit the seal retaining ring quite easily and the light engineering oil actually helps it to slide into position. I will attach a few photos as it will explain it better but it works.
