4.3. Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Remove the Outer Clamp: Open the washing machine door. Locate the metal retaining band or spring clamp around the outer edge of the old door seal. Carefully pry it off using a flathead screwdriver or pliers.

  2. Detach the Outer Lip: Once the outer clamp is removed, pull the outer lip of the old door seal away from the washing machine's front panel.
  3. Remove the Inner Clamp: Reach inside the drum and locate the inner retaining clamp or spring that holds the seal to the drum. This might be a wire spring or a plastic band. Carefully remove it.

  4. Remove the Old Seal: Once both clamps are removed, carefully pull the old door seal out of the washing machine. Note its orientation, especially any drainage holes or alignment marks.
  5. Clean the Area: Thoroughly clean the area where the old seal was seated, removing any dirt, mold, or detergent residue. This ensures a proper seal with the new part.
  6. Install the New Seal (Inner Lip First): Carefully position the new Masterpart door seal. Start by fitting the inner lip of the seal around the drum opening. Ensure any drainage holes or alignment marks on the new seal match the machine's design.

  8. Fit the Outer Lip: Pull the outer lip of the new seal over the front panel of the washing machine. Ensure it sits flush and evenly.

  9. Secure the Outer Clamp: Reinstall the outer metal retaining band or spring clamp around the outer lip of the seal, ensuring it is tight and holds the seal securely in place.
  10. Test for Leaks: Once installed, reconnect the water supply and power. Run a short, empty wash cycle (e.g., a rinse cycle) to check for any leaks around the new seal.
