AEG Dishwasher Decalcifier Seal Round Rubber Seal1525274005

I purchased this seal to replace an old one that had begun to leak. The manufacturer has since upgraded the design of the seal. While replacing this seal, I also noticed a very tiny hole in the inox basin of the dishwasher. Water was also leaking through this tiny hole. Probably a manufacturing defect as this is inox and does not rust. Very poor on a Zanussi appliance!
