Hello all. I have a leaking Electra WD1100 washer dryer and traced the problem to a split rubber door seal. I can buy a new one cheap, but can’t for the life of me get the old one off!.
I have removed the circular jubilee clip from the outer rim, but the seal just doesn’t seem to want to come off – any tips would be appreciated.TIA 🙁

Clamp band around door seal at the drum side, gaiter spring around inlet duct for dryer. Lid off, power off, long screwdriver order of the day.

Sorry (I’m a bit thick) – “clamp band around door seal at drum side”, is that a direction, or are you trying to say there is a band that needs removing? Do I need to take the lid off to get at this then (can’t see any way to remove top or front of unit, only back, which is of no use.Re: Refit of door seal Electra WD 1100 Washer/dryer
Errrrrrrrrrr, OK. The lid is retained by two screws at the back. Undo them, lift, pull forward, lid comes off. Look down at the front of the drum – you can see the wire clamp band in the groove of the rubber at the tub front. Left and down a bit, you should see a screw-head. Loosen this to de-tension the clamp band.
Front will only come off with an anglegrinder……….. 😀
