    As per the tittle,
    i have recently attempted to replace the door seal ( difficult) and all looked good apart from it leaking after 3 washes. The door seal seems to have parted from the inner lip ( not amused).
    The inner seal is held in place by a metal band with a hook at each end.

    Can the front of the machine be removed for access as this would help no end with the replacement of the door seal.

    lol, sorry to be so abrupt, but no, the front of the cabonet isnt removable, its welded to the rest of the cabinet

    best bet (apart from using the special indesit tool), is to put the seal in the lip,tilt the machine backwards and put the hookand eye at the bottom, and fasten it with a pair of pointed nose pliers

    not an easy task

    Thanks for the reply’s.
    On further inspection the seal hasnt fully come away from the inner lip, but i can pull it from under the securing band without too much effort.

    it would ssem that the seal wasnt quite as far over the lip as first thought, being a car mechanic my first thought was to breakout the gasket sealent, but alas i fear this would not be my best idea 😛

    looks like im calling a local enigineer out for this pig of a job.

    Thanks again for the help
