How to refit (replace?) Proline (etc) Tumble dryer door seal

Hi,

My Proline TDV60 door seal has fallen off. It appears to be in perfect condition, and with persistence I can seem to refit it. It’s the same one as many Creda, Crusader, Electra, Hotpoint and Indesit models (see below).

I can slide the outer lip of the grey rubber seal through the small gap between the drum and the front housing and continue working it in all the way around.

I am fitting it to the front housing, not the drum (gap/slot of seal towards the front). I hope this is correct?!

Eventually it seems to be fitted in very snugly and seems to be fully ‘home’; that is, when I press it very firmly from the back towards the front I can feel it seating itself fully and evenly onto the font housing.

Yet it still ‘rubs’ against the drum, so when I rotate the drum (with effort) it just pulls it off again.

Either I’m fitting it wrong – not fully home or the wrong way around – or I simply need a new one (but it does look like it’s ok).

How (exactly) is it supposed to be fitted, please?

Many thanks, in advance,

John Jamieson

PS I can’t find this spare here, but it’s on espares as

It fits all these other models (below) , so it must be a pretty common part/problem.
