Re: replacing creda machine door seal tool query

😀 Just wanted to let you know that I did indeed refit the washing machine door seal – it wasn’t easy, bit of trail and error, certainly took longer than twenty minutes but I did get it done.

Broadband been down ever since – but that’s another story!!!
Thankyou all for your help.

Re: replacing creda machine door seal tool query

😳 I have got the right part, but am, as you expected, finding it difficult to fit, I can get the outer lip around the drum front but easing the inner lip in at the same time is proving very tricky. I think I need to be an octopus! I haven’t been struggling with it all night, just the past hour.
Can I put the outer lip on first, then refit the clamp band and then ease the inner lip into position? Or will I risk tearing the seal?
Am so near yet so far…

In the meantime any top tips on reftitting the door seal greatly appreciated – looks a bit more complicatted than refitting a bike tyre!

Zipperdy doo dah! Have been trying to undo the wrong screw!
Top tip – turning the dial, knew there must be some knack to it – Thankyou. Am looking forward to being up and running by morning – have to feed the hungary homeschoolers first!
Will keep you posted.

I have removed the top of the machine and access to the screw is through a slot above the timer knob, allowing me to remove the front fascia and therefore the front panel.
