During a recent wash the seal around the front came off and a top of mine got stuck around it. I managed to remove this but there's a couple of gaps im unsure if this is damaged because of the clothing and it coming off or its meant to have these? Also what is the right way to put the seal in as i have no idea whats the front or the back? Thanks

My door seal wont go back on. The draw to drum water pipe came loose/uncapped from drum so thought removing door seal would give me better leverage to get to it. Now can't put seal back on as keeps popping off from opposite side. Any tips. Already used little bit squeezy.

Simon Dodd Sounds like you need a third hand. Make sure the seal is fully pushed in to the lip of the drum or front panel before tying to pull over the last part and get the seal on before trying to fit the clamp band. Good luck. :-)

+Samantha Johnson We do not have access to all Hoover models to be able to confirm this but it is likely to be the same or at least very similar for most machines.

@jasonhounsell3297 7 жыл бұрын

Yes all hoover machines can be changed via the door cavity and working through that and the lid. The most difficult to do are washer dryers, however these are done in the same fashion, just a little bit more tricky as less room to work, and have to reconnect the gasket to the drying chamber again properly. No machine unless designed in the last 2 years is different for Hoover or Candy. (I am a former hoover engineer) They can be tricky, none are hard and they are all this straight forward. Just the nack is needed to make it speedy,

Hi. could this also be done without removing the top? thanks

@eSpares 9 жыл бұрын

Hi Chris, It is possible to replace some seals without removing the top. The one in this video uses a clamp that is screwed up to hold onto the drum. It may be possible to remove this clamp through the front but is likely to be very difficult.

@kopite8923 8 жыл бұрын

Hi. I've watched your video multiple times now and I'm sure I've fitted the seal properly, but the seal is rubbing on the washer drum. Is this normal or could I have done something wrong?

@eSpares 8 жыл бұрын

If a wash loads is not balanced on spin the forces produced can flex the drum and cause it to contact the seal. If this has happened it may have caused the rim to wobble close and away when spun by hand. You can use a screwdriver to lever the gap larger or tap with a mallet from inside to reduce a gap. Often a little contact will quickly wear a groove in the seal preventing further contact.

Hi do i need to remove the top of washing machine to do this, i cant pull my machine out without removing half my kitchen. I need to replace the seal can it it work without the inner retaining band or will it just come loose? I have a candy Grand Vita

@eSpares 2 ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for your comment. While we can't confirm whether there is an alternate method for your particular model, you are correct that the seal will be loose if the inner retaining band is not fitted, so this is an essential part of the process...as if not the possibility of leaks will occur.

I found fitting the new seal to the dru9m the most frustrating job I've done in my 72 years of life. I'm very practical and been trying to fit the seal for 4 hours now and still not there yet. Unless you can see the guy in the video fit the complete circumference of the seal, think twice, you get 90% fitted and it pops off somewhere else. I even have it clamped. Pay someone else to fit it and make sure it's a fixed price. Mike P.

+eSpares Thanks. Yes, I can feel something similar at the bottom of mine. I've got a Candy DQW1500, but the door seal is very similar to the Hoover in this video. The inner retainer band thing has a hex head bolt though, instead of a Philips head. Up until the point where I dropped the nut driver, it was going fairly smoothly... I tried using a magnetic pick up tool, but it just keeps grabbing onto the sides and other bits of the machine. I can't see where it went to, so it's a bit of a non starter. I think I might leave it all til another day.

I'd like to point out that I have a hoover dynamic next and the metal ring that holds the inner part on is not screw fix, it's a spring...... and it's a complete pig.... Took me ages to do this because the seal doesn't fold inside the drum and stay there without pulling off the rim.... So I had to get my wife to hold the rubber seal out of the way to allow me to get the metal ring into place.....My neighbours learned some new swear words though.... repeatedly. Once the inner ring is secured, the rest of it took about 3 minutes..... So frustrating..

What part are you having difficulty with?. The seal has a gap that goes over the rim of the drum and another gay that goes over the rim on the front panel.

@dazboot2966 6 жыл бұрын

3:19 'you can then work the lip round the rim of the drum itself.' No you cant. You can't work the lip round the rim of the drum itself. It's impossible. I've been on it for 2 hours.

@eSpares 6 жыл бұрын

Hi, we were referring to fitting the seal around the lip on the outer tub not the inner drum. If you look at the seal itself there should be a tight gap that will part allowing the inner edge to go inside the drum opening and the outer rim of the gap then pushes over the lip on the outside of the tub. Fitting can be difficult so it is important to ensure this 'gap' is lubricated' with the liquid soap to help it slip over the rim as you work it around. For a quick practice see how the outer lip fits and feels as you work this onto the front panel. Once you have got the hang of this take the front lip off again and retry with the seal to the tub. When retrying fitting to the tub I find it easier to start at the top and work one side down then the other as gravity can help the seal hold onto the lip. Good luck.

@derekbrannan9168 5 жыл бұрын

eSpares I agree this is impossible, using liquid soap has any made it worse as rubber keeps slipping off. you need more hands than an octopus. Also the video is so misleading, only a matter of seconds to fit the inner seal? more like hours. Complete disaster.

@liliasubkhankulova8876 5 жыл бұрын

I took me a long time too, until I realised I was doing it wrong. The seal, in fact, has a kind of a "pocket" that needs to fit around the metal lip of the drum and the door opening really snuggly - but it is possible.

@numptification 5 жыл бұрын

I agree, it really needs two people, one to hold the seal in place at the top and the other to work it round. But we managesd in about ten minutes. Saved a fortune. Thanks for the video.
