Hotpoint Washing Machine Rubber Door Seal

Description

How does the door seal work?

The door seal acts as a seal between the drum and the outer casing of the washing machine. The door forms a tight seal when closed and prevents water leaks while the washing and spinning cycles are in progress. 

As it holds the water inside, it maintains the machine's performance and protects against any water damage.

When should I replace the door seal?

If your washing machine's door seal shows any symptoms of wear, corrosion, or leakage, you should replace it. The door seal ages, deteriorates, or develops rips. 

Over time, the washing machine's functionality is decreased and your flooring or the area surrounding it may be damaged.
