Possible Causes
Worn or torn door gasket, Misaligned drum causing rubbing, Foreign objects damaging the seal, Incorrect installation of front panel
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power before working around the door opening.
Steps to check and fix:
- Inspect the seal: Examine the door gasket or front felt seal for tears, burns, or missing sections.
- Replace damaged seal: Remove the retaining clamp or adhesive and fit a new Balay-compatible door gasket or felt seal, ensuring even seating around the opening.
- Check drum alignment: Verify that the drum sits evenly in the opening and does not rub excessively on one side. Adjust supports or replace worn rollers/bearings if needed.
- Remove foreign objects: Check the gap between drum and front panel for objects that could damage the seal.
