Possible Causes

Damaged or torn Hisense door gasket, Foreign object trapped between gasket and glass, Loose door gasket retaining band, Excessive suds causing foam overflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and mop up any spilled water to prevent slipping.

  • Inspect gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the rubber door seal all the way around for tears, holes, or deformation.
  • Remove debris: Check the fold of the gasket for coins, bra wires, or other objects. Clean with a damp cloth.
  • Check retaining band: Ensure the outer metal or plastic band that holds the gasket to the front panel is secure and not dislodged.
  • Use correct detergent: Use only HE (high-efficiency) detergent and the recommended amount to avoid excessive suds.
  • Replace gasket: If the gasket is torn or badly deformed, remove the retaining bands, pull off the old gasket, and install a new Hisense door gasket, ensuring correct alignment with the tub drain holes.
