INDESIT WE10UK

[DDSDDS]

hi folks i went to an indesit evo we10uk today with the steel tub to replace the door seal.
the door gasket is held in place by a steel band with a lip holding it together, now it was easy enough to detach but took 20 mins to re attach i took off the fascia to get more room i used a set of curved picks to no avail, eventually i used a long nylon bag tie looped it into the two holes of the band and gently tightened it till the clip fell into place, that took about 10 minutes i was just wanting to know if anyone had any advice(polite advice) how to go about it next time or is that the only way.
my other theory was a piece of string pulled through to tighten it.

oh and does anyone have any spare knuckles mine seem to have lost all the skin 🙁

Re: INDESIT WE10UK

Went to a washer dryer version of this model last week that was leaking from where the door seal joins the tub. It turned out she had a new door seal fitted by Indesit 3 months previous. I told her to call Indersit back as it looked a pig of a job and I could not see how the band could create a water tight seal the way it was designed. Sorry to be of no help on this one 😥 Turbo

I have only ever done two of them, But would have struggled without my Bent Nose Pliers, Found them just the job.

Re: INDESIT WE10UK

Have a pair of ‘modified’ long 90deg angle nosed pliers from a carboot. The jaws are about 2 inch long on the gripping edge so I thinned them on the grinder and bent them together at the end. Because of the length of the handles it pulls the two rings on the band togethereasily, till the hooks clip together. I still curse though…….because it’s an Indesit! 😉

Hi Folks

Just been to an Ariston AIB16 which looks like the same type of clamp wire… Looked a right pig but rembered something about a Indesit clamp band being a pig so left it and came back to trawl web site..

Looked to me like only access was right angled snipe nose pliers but just wondered if there was an official tool to do the job and partno. or do the Indipoint engineers have to stuggle like us independents?

Pigs might fly I reckon on that? :rolls:

I give my respect to you guys though, that have puzzled the problem and even made angle-nosed pliers to do the job or even attempt it – Well done! 😀

Me?….to hell with that job, I don’t even call on that type of Indesit/Ariston if I even suspect the Door Boot wants replacing* – No way Jose’ 😯

* Went to one of these animals a few months back, took one look, walked away….. 8)

Re: INDESIT WE10UK – Door boot

Sorry to resurect this one folks

Went to another of these b@~+{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}* and altho have bought some extra long 90deg snipe nose pliers still found this a right pig this time as clip didnt want to latch together.. looks like you have to be exact in the positioning of the two halves of the clip one behind the other and the one underneath the other for them to latch in but despite tilting m/c back is still dificult to see what you are doing as when you pull the two clips together they disapear down the grove out of sight.. eventually did it but with all the strugle I may have taken some of the tension out of the spring loop. Still as long as it dosnt leak…..

But.. was just wondering for next time if a Zanussi spring clamp would fit and throw the original away?… What do you guys think and has anyone tried this yet?

By the way be careful when you tilt these beasts back as they don’t clip the dispenser hose to dispenser and it pulls off.. as I found out :rolls:
