How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply before working around the door seal.
- Inspect gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the entire circumference of the rubber gasket for tears, holes, or heavy mold.
- Clean gasket: Wipe the gasket groove with a damp cloth to remove lint, hair, and detergent residue that can prevent a good seal.
- Check clamps: The gasket is held by inner and outer retaining bands. If the outer band has come loose, refit it securely in the groove.
- Replace gasket if damaged: If you find tears or permanent deformation, replace the door gasket with a Haier-specific boot seal, following a step-by-step guide or having a technician perform the work.
- Verify door alignment: Ensure the door closes evenly against the gasket. Adjust hinges if necessary.
