Re: ariston door seal pliers ?
Couple of points with this, I ended up getting hold of a pair of very long nose pliers, I then fashioned the profiles to reach into the clamp at 3 o’clock with the door seal folded into the drum and the machine lent backwards under the worktop if there is one. The arms of the pliers needed to be ground down to suit the lug holes on the clamp and this tool can then be used to remove and refit this rotten type clamp. If you do not want to fit the clamp back on you can use a Zanussi type spring clamp which fits very tightly
Once you have done one or two its not a epic ! 🙂
Re: ariston door seal pliers ?
Agree with Squadman. I could never fit the bloody things so modified a pair of bent long nosed pliers or fitted Zanussi spring type clamps
Re: ariston door seal pliers ?
I’ll third that, Zanussi spring for me also. I do hear that some of the lads hold the clamp together with a plastic bag tie to give them both hands to struggle with.

Re: ariston door seal pliers ?
As a footnote to this: I remember the first time I saw this clamp arrangement, I was at a house and the woman had a brat of a boy in residence, me struggling with this clamp without the aid of pliers or Zanussi Spring, working away to see how this clamp worked the woman took the brat into another room as he was out of control and being a PITA. Hands into the porthole with seal tucked in struggling the Brat boy kept running out of the room along the hallway and at the entrance to where I was trying to work kept shouting bang making gestures of holding a imaginary gun ! At first I tried to humour the little brat but that wasnt working, then I tried to ignore him, that did not work, I then asked the parent if they could try and occupy the lad while I got on as it was somewhat distracting trying to work while he kept running and shouting Bang ! Bang ! more or less in my ears !
This did’nt work either, mother had no control at all over the brat, getting very P*****d off with this and still struggling with this clamp the little brat was creeping along the hallway towards me waiting for this chance to give me more hassle, as he approached I lost it ! turned on him and in a VERY loud voice shouted Bang Bang ! Your Dead !
He took one look and burst into tears ! the woman came out of the room and I said Oh Dear dose’nt look like he wants to play soldiers anymore perhaps he needs a little sleep !
That got rid of him so I could get on !
Parents !
