Re: Indesit IWB5123 Washing Mach: How to put door seal back

Will do;
I think it came away on the spring side because I was very rough pulling the seal away to see if I could clean it.
I now know how it’s attached; so will be careful when cleaning the seal in future. 8)Re: Indesit IWB5123 Washing Mach: How to put door seal back
Job complete! (Time=45mins) 😀
Here’s how I did it in case anybody needs to do the same with this model.
1. Switch off plug.
2. Pull out washing machine so you can get to the back.
3. Undo 2 x cross screws underneath the back of the top.
4. Clean top of lid and then take the lid off. (The front will not come off it’s spot welded to the sides).
5. Take note of drain hole on rubber seal which should be at 6 o’clock.
You can tilt the machine forward so the drum goes in a bit to give you more room.
6. Put your seal through the door and gently work the inside of the door / drum seal underneath into the recess of the white surround of the drum; make sure you can feel that the recess that takes the circular spring it fitted into place all the way around; double check just to be sure.
7. Happy with that in place; start putting the circular spring into the recess, I started at the bottom and worked around until the last piece of the spring was at 12 o’clock.
You need to stretch and roll this spring into place; a bit fiddly but stick at it.
8. Again feel with your fingers that this spring is seated tightly into the rubber recess and fitted tightly to underside of the white drum surround.
9. Pull and fit the outside / front of the seal over the lip of the door area; again double check it visually to make sure it’s 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} in place
10. Place the wire (which has about 2, 1/2 inch of tensioning spring attached to it) into the groove.
11. Wipe down your machine, place lid back on, put screws back in, switch on and do a test wash to test for any leaks.Hopefully you have just saved yourself over £120 😀 , which is what Indesit wanted to charge me to fit this free part! :rolls:
(Thanks again iadom for your help 😉 )
