Hotpoint Washing Machine Door Seal

Description

How does the door seal work in your washing machine door?

The door seal acts as a barrier between the drum and the outer casing of the washing machine. Water is prevented from leaking when the washing and spinning cycles are in progress by the door's tight seal when it is closed. 

It traps the water inside the machine, preserving its efficiency and protecting your laundry space from possible water damage.

What damages the door seal?

Replace the door seal on your washing machine if you notice any signs of wear, damage, or leakage. The door seal becomes stiffer, wears down, or develops rips. 

This causes water leaks throughout the washing process, which may injure your floors or the area around the machine's and reduce its functionality.
