Possible Causes
Torn or worn door gasket, Foreign object trapped between gasket and drum, Loose or damaged gasket retaining clamp, Build-up of mold and detergent on gasket lip
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply. Mop up any standing water to avoid slipping.
Step-by-step checks:
- Inspect gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the door gasket (bellows) all around, especially the bottom. Look for tears, holes, or cuts.
- Remove foreign objects: Check the fold of the gasket for coins, bra wires, or other sharp items. Remove them carefully.
- Clean gasket: Wipe the gasket with a cloth and mild detergent to remove mold and residue that can prevent a proper seal.
- Check retaining clamps: Inspect the inner and outer metal or wire clamps that hold the gasket to the tub and front panel. Tighten or reposition if loose.
- Replace gasket if damaged: If any tear is found, remove the front clamp, peel off the old gasket, and fit a new Balay-compatible door gasket, ensuring the alignment marks match. Refit clamps securely.
