H0020300940T Genuine Washing Machine Door Seal Bellows for Fisher & Paykel Front Loaders WH1160S1 WH1060S1 WH1060SG1 WH1160F2

If water is escaping around the door of your Fisher & Paykel front loader, the door bellows is the usual suspect. H0020300940T is the genuine replacement seal for the WH1160S1, WH1060S1, WH1060SG1 and WH1160F2. It's the rubber boot that runs between the cabinet front and the drum opening, sealing against the door glass when it closes. Order by part number H0020300940T to be sure of the right profile.

Signs your F&P front loader door seal has failed

The bellows stops wash water escaping between the outer tub and the front of the machine, and it flexes with the tub as the drum spins. Over time it can split at the fold, get torn by underwire or sharp objects left in pockets, or harden and grow mould in the creases. Common clues are puddles in front of the washer during a wash, wet marks running down the front panel, a musty smell that won't wash out, or black mould you can't clean off the rubber. A cut or holed seal can't be reliably patched, so replacement is the proper fix.

Replacing the door bellows

Unplug the washer and turn off the taps. The seal is held by an outer clamp ring at the front panel and an inner clamp at the tub, and on many machines the front panel has to come off to reach the inner one. Note where any drain holes or alignment marks sit before removing the old seal, line the new one up the same way, and run a short rinse to check for drips.

Questions about this part

Does the seal come with the clamp rings?

The part is described as the door bellows only, with no clamps mentioned, so plan to reuse your existing clamps. Check them for rust or stretched springs while the seal is out, as a weak clamp can cause a leak even with a new seal.
