how do i fit a new seal

Carl is right. This will work, but if you need to fit a new door seal, it is not technically difficult, but it is a pain in the butt. A couple of tips. First, make sure you get the right one. There are many different types for different machine models. When fitting, use a drop of washing up liquid on the seal, where it fits over the drum and the door opening. rub it round, and it will slip over easier. Rub it around the seal. A seal will cost between £8 and £15 depending on the machine and where you go.I have found http://www.espares.co.uk/page/home and http://www.ezee-fix.co.uk/ to be very competative, but 'google' and try to find the cheapest. Best of luck.

From past experience, it isn't easy! But here's a tip. If you have a leak/hole that you can locate on the seal, try to fix it with a bicycle repair patch. I did this and it lasted about 2 years.
