Description

Door seals prevents leaks during the wash and spin cycles

The exterior casing of the washing machine and the rubber gasket in the door seal fit securely together. While the machine is spinning and cleaning, soap or water cannot escape through this tight seal.

Signs you need to replace the door seal 

The door seal rubber gasket needs replacement if it shows signs of wear, such as cracks, tears, or mould growth. 

Water stains or rust near the door seal meeting the drum or frame suggest a faulty gasket, allowing water to leak. A worn gasket leads to more vibration and noise during washing as it can't stabilise the drum effectively and cause increased vibrations.

Great service all round

E mailed for correct part confirmation, responded same day so full marks. Received door seal two days later, watched the repair video and swapped the seal in 10 minutes. Can't recommend Ransom spares highly enough, even the price was reasonable.

Exact replacement for door seal

This part was an perfect fit The original washing machine door rubber was destroyed by 'sharp' clothes! I am very pleased with Ransom for directing me to the correct part and supplying it promptly. Fitting it a bit of a fiddle, but plenty of silicone lubricant helps.
