How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply before inspecting leaks.
- Inspect door gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the rubber seal all around for tears, holes, or deformation. Remove any coins, bra wires, or debris lodged in the folds.
- Clean the seal: Wipe the gasket with a mild detergent solution to remove residue that may prevent proper sealing.
- Check retaining band: Ensure the outer metal or plastic band holding the gasket to the front panel is intact and tight. Refit if it has come loose.
- Replace gasket if damaged: If you find tears or permanent distortion, remove the inner and outer retaining bands and fit a new Gorenje door gasket, ensuring correct alignment of drain holes at the bottom.
