Hi,
I have a WHIRLPOOL AWM 822 washing machine which has a leaking door please can you advise how to fit a new door seal.
Many thanks.
Re: Door Seal for a Whirlpool washing machine
As far as we can see there is no damage to the door seal but it seems to be the only option we can think of to stop the leak. (Have cleaned the door , fitted new spring on catch which was broken) It has leaked for some time but seems to have got worse recently.

If the face of the seal looks OK it is usualy the soap dispenser that is casing the problem. When you get the leak look closely at the area between the door and the control panel at 11 o’clock for a slight trickle of water, if there is water trickling down from the panel to behind the door then give the soap drawer a good clean.
If the bottom of the drawer or the jets on top get blocked it will cause a leak that runs along the bottom of the fascia and then goes down behind the door making you think it is the door seal at fault.

Thanks for your suggestion, I’ve thoroughly cleaned the soap dispenser anyway, but unfortunately still leaking!!
Re: Door Seal for a Whirlpool washing machine
cleaning the dispenser wont stop it leaking,…. they just leak, and no1 knows why
buy a new one, itll look identical, fit it, it wont leak again!!

PLEASE is there anyone who can explain how to remove the old door seal and fit a new one (I’m having to wash everything on the quickest wash!)

Remove wire from under door seal front lip. Undo two screws for door lock. Remove kick panel. Undo three screws. Front will fall off. Pull plug first.
