Leaking Tub Seal

[pcullers]

Hi Everyone,

I have just changed the bearings on my washing machine. It’s a Electra AVM1150Aeco. I have put a new tub seal on but i’ve been unable to stop it from leaking. Any ideals would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks.
P.S Penguin thank you for the advice concerning the fitting of the bearings.

Re: Leaking Tub Seal

If you fitted a new seal and it is leaking then there is a good chance the seal is unseated or twisted.

Even if you go down the path of using an adhesive or sealant to supplement the seal the drum will have to come out and be split again. If you try to seal it from the outside it will not work 😥

Further to Iadoms’ comments, you could try the following:

Remove the clamp band, ensure tub seal is in place and locate home. Using at least one knee to hold the backplate in place, fit the clamp band. Use a mole grip at the 6 o’clock position to force the clamp band fully home, then tighten the locking bolt. Remove grip, refit stats and wiring and you’re in with a shout of it all being pulled together properly.
