How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply.
- 1. Inspect seal: Gently pull back the door seal and look for tears, holes, or cuts, especially at the bottom.
- 2. Remove debris: Clean out coins, hairpins, or lint trapped in the seal folds. Wipe the glass door surface clean.
- 3. Check retaining band: Ensure the outer metal or plastic clamp around the seal is tight and properly seated. Refit if loose.
- 4. Replace seal if damaged: Remove the outer and inner retaining bands, pull off the old seal, and install a new Gaggenau-compatible bellows, aligning the drain holes correctly.
- 5. Test for leaks: Run a short wash while observing the door area.
