How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug and turn off water supply.

Steps:

  • Inspect seal: Open the door and carefully examine the rubber gasket all around for tears, holes, or deformation.
  • Remove debris: Check for coins, bra wires, or other objects trapped in the seal folds and remove them.
  • Check retaining bands: Ensure the outer and inner metal or wire bands holding the seal are tight and properly seated in their grooves.
  • Replace gasket: If damaged, remove the front band, peel off the old gasket, fit the new Ariston-compatible gasket onto the tub lip, then refit the inner and outer bands.

Tip: Clean the seal regularly to prevent mold and maintain flexibility.
