H0020300590D Genuine Door Seal Bellows for Fisher & Paykel, Haier Front Load Washing Machines WH7560J3 WH8060P1 WH8560J3 WH9060J3 HWF75AW2

H0020300590D is the genuine door seal, also called the door bellows or boot, for Fisher & Paykel and Haier front loaders. It's the large rubber gasket between the drum opening and the door. Listed models include the Fisher & Paykel WH7560, WH8060, WH8560 and WH9060 machines, and Haier models from the HWF75AW1 and HWF80BW1 to the HWF85DW1 and HWF90BW1.

Water leaking from the front of the washer door

The bellows seal the gap between the outer tub and the front of the cabinet, so water stays inside the drum while it tumbles. Over time the rubber can tear, split along a fold, or get holed by coins, underwire and hair clips. Mould that won't scrub out of the folds is another reason people replace it. Leaks at the bottom of the door during a wash, water pooling in front of the machine, or a seal that has come away from its clamp are typical signs it's time.

Replacing the door bellows

Unplug the washer and turn off the taps. The seal is held by one clamp on the cabinet side and another on the tub side, so the front panel often has to come off to reach the inner clamp. It's a fiddly job. Mark the position of the old seal before removing it so the new one goes on the right way round. Work the new seal on evenly, refit both clamps and run a rinse to check for leaks.

Questions about this part

How do I know the seal is causing my leak?

Run a rinse with the machine empty and watch the door area. If water appears at the lower front edge while the drum turns, and the seal has a split or loose section, the bellows are the likely cause. Check the door glass and detergent drawer too.
