Bosch washer leaking at the door or smelling musty?

This bellows links the cabinet front to the outer tub and gives the door glass a surface to seal against. It flexes with every spin and lives in damp, detergent-laden conditions, so it wears over time. Look for water dripping from under the door, tears in the folds, rubber that has hardened or gone sticky, and black mould that will not clean off. Coins, underwire and hairpins caught in the folds are a frequent cause of holes.

Changing the door seal

Switch off and unplug the machine, then close both taps. Release the front clamp ring and fold the seal back, then remove the front panel to reach the rear clamp on the tub. Line up the new seal's alignment marks, refit both clamps evenly, and run a short wash to check for leaks. It is a fiddly job, so allow plenty of time.

Questions about this part

My model has a suffix like /29 or /35. Does that matter?

Yes, the suffix identifies the production version. This seal is listed against specific versions, such as WAE24463AU/24 and WAE22464AU/35, so check the full model number including the suffix, often found on a label around the door opening.
