    No other video I've seen on YT has been so precise and accurate in explaining how to do this job, none of the others mentioned the 2 grooves the seal has to fit on the inside drum ring!
    I have a Bosch Logixx 8 washing machine E - Nr. WAS28461GB/07 and this one varies a little bit to your display machine.
    The Logixx 8 control panel covers 3 screws on the top edge holding the front panel in place apart from the 3 screws in the detergent drawer fascia. The control panel was initially a puzzle to remove as there were no plastic pieces extending on top of the top frame, eventually I found that (looking from the front) the inside top right lug was the one needing to be pushed to release the control panel.
    Thanks for posting such a useful and helpful video!

    Thank you so much! Been waiting for 6 months after my hubby promised to repair it. Today I was finally done waiting and found your video. 1.5 hours later andI fixed it myself. I wish I had put on my big girl trousers a bit earlier. Now off to find a video on how to repair the tractor, fix the leaky pipes in the downstairs bathroom and mend the roof :) Who knows, maybe I can even learn to fly at this point?! XD

    Living in Germany, I watched quite a few German Bosch/Siemens tutorials first. German engineering, German tutorials, makes sense, I thought... But only your video showed me that immensely practical tool "Hook Pick"; didn't know it exists before. Work is so much easier now - thank you!!

    I made the change of the seal today and I can tell you this a brilliant description of the working steps. I'm not an English nativ speaker, but with the good video sequences I was able to make it happen in one hour. Not every machinie is similar, but the important parts of mounting and dismounting are the same.
    I reviewed any couple descriptions of this job on youtube. Your movie is the best.

Den lille krog der bruges til at udvide fjederen med, lavede jeg af en gammel syl, som jeg bukkede spidsen på i en skruestik. Stor ros herfra👍👍👍👍👍👍

    This video was perfect for replacing the door seal on our 2017 Bosch WAQ28470GB sold in UK. (I do have to say though, the band with spring that came with the new seal for the final door seal was much tighter than shown here and took two of us to get it in place.)

    • @ApplianceFault
      @ApplianceFault  Před 3 lety +1

      Thank you for watching.
      After you replace the seal, make sure to leave the door open when the machine is not in use and once a month run the machine on a hot 90 degree cycle. This will stop the new seal from getting mouldy.

  • @javeedsultan8484
    @javeedsultan8484 Před 6 měsíci

    Great video, although the generic principles of fitting doorseals are fine, but it's knowing things like what screws and where they are located that need removing
    Also the little tips like lubing the seal before fitting and what tools make fitting easier.
    The hook tool is a great idea
    If you don't have a hook tool then you can use some string made into a loop and use a screwdriver in the looped string and that works just as well if you don't have a hook tool

      Hi so new seal arrived and has been fitted successfully using your video. The only additional step I needed to do was to remove the left hand counter balance weight as I couldn't get sufficient access to fit the seal to the inner rim on that side. I also needed an extra pair of hands(the wife) to help hold the inner spring into the grove , while I pulled it with the pick tool. My machine is a Bosch Varioperfect. 2015 model. Thanks again for posting this.
