How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply before inspecting for leaks.
- Inspect gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the entire circumference of the rubber door seal for tears, holes, or deformation.
- Remove debris: Clean out coins, hairpins, or lint trapped in the folds of the seal.
- Check retaining bands: Ensure the inner and outer metal or wire clamps holding the seal to the tub and front panel are tight and correctly seated.
- Replace seal: If damaged, remove the front panel (if required), release both clamps, and fit a new Grundig-compatible door gasket. Ensure correct orientation and a watertight fit.
- Use correct detergent: Use HE (high-efficiency) detergent in the recommended quantity to reduce over-foaming.
