Front loader leaking from the door? Check the bellows

The bellows is the flexible rubber boot between the outer tub and the front panel. It seals against the door glass while the drum fills and spins, and it flexes every time the tub moves. Over time it can tear on a zip or bra wire, perish from detergent and heat, or grow black mould in the folds that won't scrub out. The giveaways are water on the floor in front of the machine, drips under the door during a wash, a musty smell, or a visible split when you fold back the lip.

Tips for fitting door bellows

Unplug the washer and turn off both taps. Remove the outer clamp ring at the door opening, then the inner clamp where the seal meets the tub, which on many front loaders means taking the front panel off. Look for an alignment mark on the seal and line it up with the tub before fitting the inner clamp. A little soapy water helps the lip slide on. Run a rinse cycle and watch for drips before you finish.

Questions about this part

Do I need new clamps as well?

This listing covers the door seal. The original clamps can usually go back on if they aren't rusted or stretched. If one is damaged, replace it at the same time so the new seal is held evenly all the way round.
