Thank you for very well made, detailed and accurate instructions. No nonsense. Pure to the bone. The best I have seen.

Thank you, David. I used the same procedure for my Miele 5965, which has a virtually identical seal (except it has a sensor next to the hose on top, so some additional fiddling is required). This video helped a lot!

I used this on my Miele W1913. Removing the front panel was a bit different and I saw how that’s done on another YT guide with a fella drinking a lot of wine 😅. But the replacing of the seal was spot on and now my Miele doesn’t leak anymore. Many thanks 🎉

Thanks so much. I just used this technique for a Miele W5741. It worked perfectly!

Thanx for a super useful video! Replaced my seal in no time, thanx to you!

Many thanks. From a previous Samsung machine I knew what was involved but cant beat a refresher ! Perfect video 👍😊

Verywell done...saved me a fortune

You absolute legend sir, just done the repair, you made it easy. Huge thanks!!

I have always found the compatibles perfectly serviceable so I use them. In this instance I bought the least expensive one I could find and it's working as well as the original.

Thanks so much for this video. I used it to help me replace the seal on my w1 Miele.

Thanks David,perfect

You are my champion, thanks for the video. Job Done, only with your help!!

Many thanks for the video. I made some notes on my W304 Premier seal replacement. The black inlet hose is connected to a white plastic 'T' piece which is fitted from inside the seal, so if this is the case you must pull the hose off this plastic tube rather than with it. The seal clamp screw was fitted on the right of the drum so I didn't need to remove the door lock. Clean the black scum from inside the drum outer casing before fitting the seal. Replace the T piece from inside the seal and place the clamp over the seal before fitting around the drum casing and re-connecting the black inlet hose. I used a box spanner to tighten the clamp. Don't over tighten. I cleaned to door seal rim on the front panel with a cloth & IPA as there was residual rubber on the rim. Make sure that the top plastic lugs on the front panel are fully seated. Check that the centre bolt hole is fully exposed before attempting to screw this bolt in otherwise you will probably cross-thread both the bolt and the two screws at the bottom of the panel. Before fitting the outer part of the seal, hold the door lock in place from inside the panel to correctly thread the door lock screws. Make sure that the drum rotates before fitting the outer part of the seal to the front panel. I cleaned to outer wire clamp carefully with a Scotchbrite pad to remove any rubber. I pressed the wire firmly into the outer seal groove starting around the hinge area. This held it in place whilst I used the screwdriver in a reverse sweeping action from around 11 o-clock down to the spring to pop the rest of the wire in place.

Thanks David!🙂

Very helpful, thank you.

Very helpful, thanks!

Exceed video for replacing the seal, in my case problem wasn’t the seal but a badly distorted steel drum which I have vigorously reshaped with a mallet so it doesn’t foul the seal.Will try it out tomorrow??

Is there a particular need to use an original door seal - or what's your view on a compatible one best sourced from ?

Thanks for the video! One question, why do I have to replace the door lock release handle?
