A846522 Genuine Seal for Ariston Appliances, Ariston Indesit Whirlpool Group Replacement Seal, Order by Part Number

This listing is for genuine Ariston seal A846522, supplied from the Ariston, Indesit and Whirlpool parts range. Seals like this stop water, heat or air escaping where two parts of an appliance meet. Because the part name on file is simply 'seal', the safest way to buy it is by number. If A846522 matches your old seal, the parts list for your model or a quote from your repairer, you have the right one.

What a failed appliance seal looks like

Rubber and silicone seals harden, shrink and crack with heat, detergent and age. Once a seal loses its spring it can't close the gap it was made for. In a laundry or kitchen appliance that usually shows up as water marks or puddles under the machine, steam or heat escaping around a door, or a damp smell coming from a hidden leak. A torn seal can also let water reach motors and wiring, so finding the leak early saves a bigger repair later on.

Before you fit the new seal

Turn the appliance off at the wall and, for anything plumbed in, shut the water taps. Note exactly how the old seal sits, which way any lip faces and whether it's clipped, pressed or glued in, and take a photo before removing it. Clean the seating surface so the new seal beds down evenly. After fitting, run the appliance and check for leaks or gaps before the panels go back on.
