H0020300940C Genuine Door Seal Bellows for Fisher & Paykel, Haier Front Load Washing Machines WH1060P1 WH1260P1 HWF12D1W1

Leaking from the front of the door or spotting mould in the rubber? H0020300940C is the genuine door bellows, or door seal, used on Fisher & Paykel and Haier front loaders. It is listed for the Fisher & Paykel WH1060P1 and WH1260P1, and for the Haier HWF12D1W1. Getting the exact seal matters, because front loader door seals vary in shape and size from model to model.

Signs a front loader door seal needs replacing

The bellows is the folded rubber boot that links the front of the cabinet to the drum opening. It flexes as the drum moves and seals against the door glass so water stays inside during the wash. Tears often start from coins, underwire or zips caught in the folds, and the rubber can also perish or grow black mould that won't clean off. Common signs are water pooling under the door, a damp patch on the floor after a wash, or a musty smell that returns no matter how often you clean. Small splits only get worse once the drum starts spinning.

Part details

• Genuine part H0020300940C
• Door bellows seal for front load washers
• Listed for Fisher & Paykel WH1060P1 and WH1260P1

Fitting the door bellows

Unplug the machine and close the taps. Release the outer clamp ring around the front of the seal, then remove the front panel if needed to reach the inner clamp at the drum. Note any alignment marks or drain holes that set the seal's position. Fit the new seal at the drum first, line up the marks, refit both clamps and run a rinse to check for leaks.

Questions about this part

Can I just clean the mould off instead?

Surface mould can often be cleaned with a suitable cleaner, and leaving the door open between washes helps stop it coming back. If the mould has stained deep into the rubber, or the seal is torn or perished, replacing it is the lasting fix.
