    Thank you so much for this video, I had people asking for £100 + just to take a look and replace the seal, or sell me new seal and springs, I watched this video and removed the seal, cleaned everything and refitted it in pretty good time, my 15 year old son watched and helped me, afterwards he commented that it was easy and much better than being charged silly money for five minutes work. once again thank you for the clear demonstration and explanation.

    Thank you so very much for this Video! As a 28 y/o single woman without any technical education i have to say it wasn't easy but saved me a lot of money.I have an Indesit (Aliomatic) WDA 71400 (EU) Washer/Dryer Combo. For some reason a little piece of the door seal was ripped off so the machine started leaking. I called a few technicians and they all would claim around 230€ for the door seal+repairing!!! I bought the machine for 370€ a few years ago, so i decided to look online for the door seal and found it somewhere for 36€ (shipping included). .

    Our machine is Hotpoint HV5L125 managed to fit it in around half hour. Only adjustments to video was, It was easy to fit with top removed (Remove two screws at back lift slightly and pull back sharply.) I did not need to remove door at all, and did not have to remove lock as narrow screwdriver fits through hole in the lock easily to hold inner spring. But probably would have struggled without the vid. Thank you.

    Thank you, after removing my door seal to clean it I was having trouble getting it back on (due to the 'hidden' inner lip on the outer seal) having a bad back and getting a little frustrated I called a local repairman, "Oh yes we have them on the truck, you can't re-install it has to be a new one, £50 fitted". I thought that sounded like BS so after a quick search I found this video, seeing it done I realised my error and the machine was back together in a couple of minutes and is washing away as I type, only thing is I didn't need to remove the door or catch. ;) Thanks again!

    Fitted mine, but the outer seal on the original seal had no retaining band - it was glued and there doesn't seem to be a place for a retaining band (IWC71450). Would it be a bad idea to super-glue it back, or is there a specific glue to use?

    • @eSpares

      +PEMBY'S GAMING WORLD Your machine should have had a retaining band and you can get a new one from the following link:

      We would not advise to glue the seal in place in case you need to replace the door lock or other repairs.

  • @Priestofdoom
    @Priestofdoom Před 9 lety

    Thanks for the great video, I watched this a couple of times and then changed my door seal too. You make it look very easy my inner band was a bugger to get back on as it was pretty tight. It's working fine but the new seal is rubbing against the spinning metal drum. It seems bit of a tighter fit than the old seal, the rubbing creates fine rubber particles on the door seal. Will it ware in and be ok? I'm pretty sure it's the right seal and been fit correctly.

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 9 lety

      Hi Rob, A new seal may catch at first especialy if the washing load is not balanced and causes the drum to flex into contact (see our video: How to Prevent a Washing Machines Spinning Noisily).
      This often wears a small amount off the seal and stops being a problem but check the edge of the drum and remove any rubber off the edge of the drum with a plastic pan scourer to help it not catch again.

    • @Priestofdoom
      @Priestofdoom Před 9 lety

      Thanks a lot for the reply your videos are great, I might give it a go with a scourer but it seems to be rubbing less now it's done a few washes, I ordered some of your cleaner too so will get it looking nice and new again soon!

    Trust me, you don't want to see my door seal, as there's a bio-hazard warning sticker on the machine now; due to a new form of life growing in the seal well.. Now I have seen how it is done, I will commence with the replacement of the part, and give the old seal to the Ministry of Defence, who will no doubt find a way to weaponise this into a form of germ warfare. Oh dear, the U.K signed an agreement not to research that anymore; but that has never stopped them before... off to Porton Down we go, lol :-) .
    Anyway, I digress with these flights of fancy, and want to thank you for the time and effort you put into your film work. Cheers :-D x

    Hi, my Indesit wax120uk washing machine's seal was wrinkled during a wash and at the end of wash it just would'nt drain, just kept filling. Watched your video and have taken door and seal off, seal pretty mouldy. Their was no spring to remove at front as on your video, just inner one. Also sometimes when I set machine for a wash the dial just keeps going round and clicking, do you think changing seal will help. Would appreciate your help. Mai.

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 9 lety

      HI Mai Dolat-shahi, it sounds like you have a couple of problems there. On some indesit machines with your type of timer if the machine identifies a 'fault' the timer keeps advancing in the manner you describe. This is usually if it has not heated or if it has not drained within a specific time. If your machine will fill and start but will not drain see our diagnosis video: czcams.com/video/frEJhX9Sppw/video.html

      The cabinet on your machine is welded and the front cannot be removed. We are sorry but to replace the seal you will have to use the method in the video above.

    I have the same issue with the small nuts that hold the screws for the door in on the inside of the machine . when i unscrewed the door they fell inside . when i put the door back on the screws don't hold and there is no access to attach the nuts from the back . will i have to remove the outer seal retaining spring to hold the nuts in place from behind?

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 7 lety +1

      Hi Karen, there is on some models a metal plate that can come away and fall to the base of the machine. If this has happened you can either carefully lower the machine onto its back and reach in to hold the plate in position. Or what may be easier is to un-clip the seal and reach in to fit the bracket. For details on removing the seal front edge see this video: czcams.com/video/3IqArUKDLYE/video.html

      Hi Raaed Alhaidar, the easiest solution is to ask a friend to hold the one side while you move it around if not make sure you hold it tight with hand and as you go round keep pushing the one side in while you move around.

    I'm trying to replace the door seal on an indesit washer/dryer and trying to get the inner spring/clamp back on is an absolute nightmare, the seal just keeps slipping back off whenever the spring pulls against it

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 9 lety +1

      Hi Scott, if you have a pair of 'mole grips' fold the seal back into the drum.
      Then locate the seal at one point in the groove of the drum and fix with the mole grips (not to tight you damage the seal).
      Then stretch the band over one side of the seal and work it around the other halve until fitted.

    hi matt please help me! I have changed my door seal and the new seal is making a terrible noise! The seal is causing some kind of friction and heat! have I done something wrong?

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 9 lety

      +Wendy Nelson If the drum comes into contact with the seal it will groan and sometimes even smoke on spin. Check you have the right seal and it is fitted correctly but if the drum is loose from bearing wear or if it is slightly off centre i will catch. If only slight it will usually settle quickly and wear a slight groove in it.

  • @carvilleweb
    @carvilleweb Před 7 lety

    Struggled with screwdriver for an hour. Did it without by hold in groove on left hand side and then running it into the groove downwards to the right and the pulling it around and upwards, all the time holding the left side in place with left hand. Took seconds.

    • @eSpares

  • @IbsensGhostUK
    @IbsensGhostUK Před 7 lety

    Great video. All done but I'm absolutely baffled that I now have a washing machine that doesn't spin. Even before I fixed the new door seal, it spun perfectly and I can't see how the replacement affected it other than perhaps the fact that the triangle at the top isn't currently sitting at the top. Could this possibly affect the machine not spinning?

    • @IbsensGhostUK
      @IbsensGhostUK Před 7 lety +1

      Sorted it out eventually. It turns out that I'd placed the rubber too close to the drum. Then it transpired that it still wouldn't spin but I noticed that there was a loud noise when it tried to go into a spin. Looking back, I figured that could be the belt so I used another video to work out how to do that. Thanks very much but I still think it's worth pointing out how to get the top off the machine as I couldn't figure it out at first (worried I might break something).

    • @eSpares

  • @northbhamcats
    @northbhamcats Před 7 lety

    Agree with Adam Middleton. I'm 65 and done quite a few jobs in my time, but this was 2 hours of blood, sweat and toil. By far the most difficult is the inner spring. You just have to calm yourself and then work up to the BIG PULL. You eventually work out a way yourself. Door lock tip did not work for me. Useful video though. Saved buying a new machine !

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 7 lety

      That spring can be a nightmare at times at should not be underestimated.
      The trick that can help most people is to 'fix' it at one point (the screwdriver method). Glad to hear you got there in the end.😊

    Easiest way to get the door seal and retaining band on is firstly,let the seal sit in a dish of boiling water for approximately 5/10 minutes, my husband got it straight on within 15secs, (the rubber expands) tip from being a shipbuilder. Good luck and let me know the outcome.
