    Hi guys,
    when replacing the door seal to the tub, has anyone got any tips re-fitting the one piece spring clamp single handed. Had to replace one today and had to ask the customer to lend a hand holding the spring at the top while I stretched it over.
    regards

    put a long screwdriver through the door lock and hold against door seal. with the spring going outside (right) of driver it stops it slipping off.

    hold screwdriver with knee and you can stretch spring round

    Wait until you get one of the later machines with the thin wire and spring type of clamp on the drum. :rolls:

    From a previous post on here I now use the small plastic crocodile style clips, B&Q etc sell them. Works great and they’re none damaging to the seal etc.

    Those clips are OK for certain seals but the long screwdriver through the door lock is far and away the easiest and quickest method for this machine. It really is a matter of seconds to refit the clamp using this method. 8)
