704396 Genuine Door Seal for Bosch, Siemens, Neff Appliances, BSH 00704396 Replacement Door Gasket

Door seal 704396, also written 00704396, is a genuine BSH part from the Bosch, Siemens and Neff range. BSH door seals are each made for one product line, whether it's a washing machine boot, a dishwasher door seal or an oven door gasket. Our record for 704396 doesn't say which appliance it belongs to, so match it to your parts list, or check any number moulded into the old seal.

Signs your door seal is worn

A door seal closes the gap between the door and the body of the appliance each time it shuts. Over time rubber perishes, tears or grows mould, and oven seals turn brittle and fray. Common clues are water on the floor after a wash, steam or heat escaping around the door, a door that won't close as firmly as it used to, and stains or a musty smell around the seal. Run a hand around the seal with the door open, feeling for splits, flat spots and hard sections.

Replacing the door seal

Turn the appliance off at the wall and, for a washer or dishwasher, close the tap. Study how the old seal is held, whether by clamps, clips or a push-in channel, and photograph it from a few angles. Clean the mounting area, fit the new seal without stretching it, and check the door closes evenly against it before using the appliance again.
