H0020300940A Genuine Door Seal Bellows for Fisher & Paykel Front Load Washing Machines WH1260F1 WH1160F2

For the Fisher & Paykel WH1260F1 and WH1160F2 front loaders, H0020300940A is the genuine door bellows, the folded seal that surrounds the drum opening. It stops water escaping between the door glass and the tub while the machine washes and spins. Splits, mould that won't clean off, and leaks at the door are the usual reasons to replace it.

Water leaking from the front of your washer?

Every time the drum turns, the bellows flexes between the moving tub and the fixed cabinet front. That constant movement, plus hot water, detergent and the odd stray coin or hairpin, eventually wears it out. You might find a puddle at the front after a load, damp patches on the rim of the door glass, a strong musty smell from mould trapped in the folds, or a visible tear when you fold back the lip. Small leaks often get worse quickly once a split starts, so replace the seal early to protect the floor and the parts under the tub.

Changing the bellows

Isolate the power, turn off the water taps and drain any water left in the drum. Remove the outer clamp from the front of the seal, then fold it back to release the inner band from the tub. Most new seals carry a marker that goes at the top, so line that up first. Seat the lip all the way around the tub before fitting the bands, then test with a short wash.

Questions about this part

Is this the same seal as the WH7560 or WH8560?

No. Those models are listed against a different bellows. H0020300940A is listed for the WH1260F1 and WH1160F2, so check your model code on the label inside the door before ordering.
