Washer-dryer leaks water from the front door area during wash or rinse cycles.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply. Mop up any spilled water to avoid slipping.

Step-by-step checks:

• Inspect the gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the rubber door seal all around, especially the lower section. Look for tears, holes, or splits.
• Remove foreign objects: Check the fold of the gasket for coins, bra wires, or other sharp items. Remove any debris.
• Check retaining bands: Ensure the outer metal or wire clamp around the gasket is tight and seated in its groove. If loose or broken, replace the clamp.
• Control detergent use: If foam is visible leaking from the door, reduce detergent quantity and use HE (low-suds) detergent suitable for washer-dryers.
• Replace gasket if damaged: Remove the outer and inner clamps, pull off the old gasket, fit the new Candy-compatible door gasket aligning the drain holes at the bottom, then refit clamps securely.

When to call a technician: If leaks persist after gasket replacement, the door glass or front panel may be warped and should be assessed professionally.
