Video

Of course you cut out the hardest part at 2:19 so people still have no idea how to do that properly

Bosh is crap.I had one and after the guarantee expired after 2 years the seal spring came off.Unlike this one the front is glued to it.I guess to make you buy a new one .Stay away from Bosh.Its not made in Germany anymore and just dead cheap crap

How long was the full video? Looks easy enough! 😳

Thank you for the advice! But how difficult to place the internal ring 😅.

A good horror movie leaves the greatest terrors to the imagination

I ended up using a large vise-grip to hold the top of the inside spring in place while I rolled it in the groove with my thumb, that worked like a charm. It still took me quite a bit longer than 3:15, though.

Bad, video. The important things are not shown

😂 😂😂 take the front off!!! It's almost impossible doing it that way!

What a pointless video. You didn't show us anything. You just showed how most of it is easy if you've been doing it 30 years. Then you even cut out the hard part. Stick to fixing washing machines pal, don't bother making anymore "how to" videos

Misses out the important part. Useless….

Video cuts out the hardest, and most important step. This video was much easier, took no time at all and avoided any stressful guess work or fiddly spring wrestling. czcams.com/video/irQ_XRgExoQ/video.html Just take the front off. It only takes 10 minutes, and involves no struggling or straining.

Cancan someone tell me what’s the part number for that inner spring, or model number machine ? Thank you

Noticed the edit when he's putting the spring on. There were probably 40 mins of yelling and cursing there trying to put it on.

Cut out the hardest part...thank you Mr 30 years, great help.

Yes you are right Sir Jai TDP Jai TDP Jai TDP Jai

I just replaced the electric door lock on my Bosch front loading washer and I CANNOT get the ring with the spring back on to secure the gasket! I'm a 'not so strong' person and I simply cannot stretch the spring enough. Can you offer some advice? Thanks.

DO NOT USE THIS VIDEO AS A GUIDE. The information is wrong, parts of the process missing and some parts simply wrong like putting 3 rings back when there are only 2. I wasted a great deal of time working out why it was not going in as required.

sorry for last comment.i ts not naff its useless, no instruction , no explanaion and clear that he had trouble with the inner ring so cut it out..

pretty naff video..doesnt show the difficult part the inner spring or explain it..

Just take the front panel off!!! So hard otherwise

Nice trick with video, cutting the part when putting inner!! It’s not so easy to do it with one person. I’ve done this with my wife and son - I hold it between 10-2 o’clock, wife 2-6 , son 6-10 - took us 1 min to do this- outside 10min.

how do you connect the water outlet

Yes this is tricky but - check to see if your front panel comes off first!! I spent too long trying to reach in the panel and fiddle around before checking to see if the panel would come off. My model had two further screws under the machine. Front panel came off. Easy to then put the seal onto the drum. The spring was straight forward to put into place with another pair of hands.

It's much better to spend a bit more time to guarantee fitting by removing top panel, then the instrumentation panel and finally the front panel (takes approx 15 mins). Then you have full access and can see exactly where the inner seal fits and be sure of fitting the inner band. Otherwise you're working in the dark on a wing and a prayer.

It would help if he talked through the process instead of editing out the difficult bits and just having a caption at the bottom.

If you don't have anyone to help, I recommend to use two clamps. You start from the bottom, then put first clamp around 9 o'clock then second clamp od 3 o'clock. With a little bit effort you will manage to put inner band on it's place.

This is more a 'look how good I am' rather than a tutorial.

I like this - way quicker than having to remove the front panel like on many other videos will try this when my seal arrives for my Bush!

As with other comments the inner spring which was not shown is the pain. I used two pieces of string tied to either end of the spring then spring over the groove as far as it will go. Trail the string under the washer and tighten progressively as you tie off the strings with a clamp under the washing machine. Worked eventually. A lot of faff.

Replacing the inner spring band is tricky and cut out of this video. In the video he says it's impossible to remove the front, but in my Bosch Series 2 machine it was possible, just a bit more work: remove the top (2 screws), computer panel (3 screws) and then the front panel (2 top screws and 2 under the machine). This made the replacement a lot easier.

You need to explain verbally what you are doing the video had to resort to sub titles to try do this.

👌❤👌❤❤❤❤❤👌👌👌

Just replaced a door seal in my Bosch washing machine which does not have a removable front. All fairly straight forward until you try and get the inner spring band on, You definately need to push the outer part of the seal inside the drum as shown on the video so don't connect the small pipe at the top of the seal until you have this inner band installed. You will the need 3 screwdrivers to stop the spring clamp from popping off the drum. An extra pair of hands / clamp can secure one end of the seal with a screwdriver while your two hands move the other end of the seal round the drum with another screwdriver, pushing it into the slot as you pull the seal round. Then there is the final tricky bit when the spring clamp only has a small amount to go. The spare pair of hands/ clamps now hold both the screwdrivers securing the spring clamp while you use the last screwdriver to lever it over the final bit of the seal and into the groove. Finger touch check all round to make sure all is in place and you can refit the small pipe at the top. Then do the rest.

This guy edited the trickiest part out of the video... wonder why?

Without taking front off it takes 2 persons to put the spring on inner seal

I try this method the video skip the mounting of the inner spring it is not possible with only two hands i removed the front panel ( 5 screws ) it was fitted in 3 minutes.

Putting on inner spring could work better, if Bosch made the front side removable. This way it is almost impossible.

Just done mine the inner spring is what I would call a tad tricky but still only a ten minute job 👍

Don't be fooled by this wizards short video ! If you can't remove the front panel that inner spring is a complete bastard. I've just finished replacing the seal on my Bosh series 4. Got the top off, control panel off and the door off but didn't want to force the front panel off so had to fit the seal with it still in place. The Mrs was at work, 2 arguing kids in the living room and 2.5 hrs later I vow never to do it again. Wayne the wizards 30years experience shows. Trying to get your fingers to hold the tension on that rear spring whilst keeping everything in place was the hardest part. Had to tip the machine back at 45 ° to give me more room and a better view. All the rest was fairly straight forward. Never again.

I can’t take my front penal off because of a stripped screw under the soap dispenser. How do I pull the inner spring off? He didn’t say much. Folding the rubber in and put it down??

Fortunately I understand how to do this job, but I've never seen a less helpful tutorial that seems more about showing off that the demonstrator has the knack, rather than actually explaining anything useful. Nice for the show-off, unhelpful for the viewer. This one is a lot more helpful czcams.com/video/ioTOGkIBEIw/video.html

Not very good at showing how the seal fits inside 😕

You did it without disassembling a front panel? Can't believe.

Worst video ever. You show nothing and no way you did that by hand like that

Clear as mud

after half year i can change it i get wrinkle door seal all the time :/

At czcams.com/video/etL8qRGQHsY/video.html notice how the spring is located in his hands; the top of the spring runs over the back of the thumbs, and over the index fingers (and on the inside of the other fingers, can't quite remember). Starting from the 6 o'clock position as in the video, use 2nd 3rd 4th fingers to put the spring in the groove, and feed the remaining spring over the bent index fingers. Use the thumbs and arm power to pull the spring up. I used the other tricks as well; wedge the concrete drum from the front panel using whatever you have available (I used polystyrene), lube your hands with loads of soap, liquid soap or vet lube, and crimp the spring together at the top before starting (although I guess with practice this needn't be done). Once the hand position was correct, it was a 20 second job, and didn't need to take the front panel off.

Two minutes to remove 1 hour just to get the inner spring on! It came off 100 times my fingers are shot knuckles swollen. It’s on though….

Thanks, the video saved me from ripping the front off my washing machine (i have to take the top off because of af tricky water inlet in my door seal), i think i took me arround 20 minutes and yes the internal spring was driving me nuts

No matter what happens, you are never getting a job from me.
