I have totally removed the seal now, how the heck do i get the inner part back on with the spring !!!!

Seems impossible without removing the drum !!!!

Cheers

Seal first, some use a bit of washing up liquid around the lip and seal, then fit the spring after

How do i get the spring on though ? There is no join in it ??

What is the exact process, do i leave spring on the rubber whilst fitting that ? Or do i feed it on somehow after inner is fitted ??

Looks IMPOSSIBLE tbh, there is also a large rubber ‘tab’ on the inner bit, where does this go ?

Thanks

Start from the bottom, hands either side and stretch it around. No trick to it

I can get the seal on BUT not the spring ??

Try folding the front part of the seal back inside the drum so you’re just left with the bit connecting to the drum, put some washing up liquid on the seal and spring then as I said start from the bottom and stretch seal around
Failin that there’s not much more I can suggest other that to get an engineer to sort it

I just don’t get at what point you put the spring on ? Are you on about feeding it over the seal from outside after it is fitted or fitted around the seal and fitting both at once.

Sorry to be a pain, advice is MUCH appreciated.

No seal on first. Then lubricate the spring. Put spring on at the bottom them put hands in the spring and just feed it around

So i have to feed the spring over the outside of the seal to get it to the inside as it’s in one piece ?

Re: HELP- Putting inner seal back on Hotpoint BWM129 ??

Yes. Like I said double the seal back in towards the drum so you’re just left with the seal connected to the drum, rather than trying to get it over the outside part first
Should be easy to get spring on , normally only takes a few minutes to completely replace one of these
If you really are struggling then I would advise getting an engineer to fit
