Good product, improvement on original

This door seal is identical to the one that came on the machine, but the wire band to secure it is much improved. Rather than a spring, it has a screw, which makes it much easier to fit.

Great Value!

Product is perfect fit although a challenge to fit if you're a DIY-er. There's a clamp to attach the hose part to the washing machine and not a lot of space to work inside the machine but got there eventually. Washing machine has since been used several times and no leaks and part seems to be standing up well. Ransomes had a great price in comparison to others and part was received on time. Would recommend the product and Ransomes.

Great product, ideally needs 2 people to fit

This was bought to replace the original part which had gone mouldy from an integrated washing machine. The hardest part of the job was to take the front off the integrated washing machine. Removing the old seal was straightforward and installing the new seal was easy until the new springs had to be fitted. This really needed an extra pair of hands. The new seal is great and no more smells!

Excellent Service

Despatched and delivered very quickly. Was easy to change, having watched the video. Seal was identical to the original and was of good quality. Was a bit pricey though. Unfortionately, having changed it, the drum was still rubbing on the edge of the seal and it turned out the "Spider" on the back of the drum had cracked. At £192 for the drum and £63 for bearings it wasn't economic to repair it. You can't win them all!

No Easy Task!

I wasn't expecting a walk in the park fitting this part but it turned out to be very tricky. Having looked through a few instruction videos I was confident enough but with my machine (Bosch Logixx 7 built-in) the construction is different than the demos. I was unable to remove the counterweights from the drum as they are now fixed with adhesive rather than bolts so it was quite fiddly feeding the rubber lip onto the drum rim. Then getting the wire clip over that was a nightmare - you'll need a flat bladed screwdriver and a spare pair of hands, preferably those of a washing machine repair man. I had pulled out the machine to get the lid off but it turned out I could have taken the front off without doing this so have a good look for all the screws on the front before you pull the machine out. Quite happy with the quality of the part though, exactly the same as the original one and was delivered on time but a bit pricey. Generally very good.

Exact Replacement

The door seal was an exact replacement for the Bosch item. The seal clamps were different though and one wouldn't fit without damaging the seal. Managed to reuse the old clamps though so no problems. It may be a Bosch but the price is fairly steep!
