Washer-dryer leaks water from the front during wash or rinse cycles.

Safety: Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply. Mop up any spilled water to avoid slipping.

• Inspect door gasket:
  • Open the door and carefully examine the rubber seal all around.
  • Look for tears, holes, or deformation, especially at the bottom.
  • Remove any coins, bra wires, or debris trapped in the folds.
• Check retaining bands:
  • Verify the outer metal or plastic clamp around the gasket is tight and properly seated in its groove.
  • If loose, refit and tighten the clamp screw or spring.
• Control detergent use:
  • Use only HE (high-efficiency) detergent suitable for washer-dryers.
  • Reduce dosage if you see excessive foam on the door glass.
• If gasket is damaged:
  • Remove the outer clamp, peel off the old gasket, and fit a new OEM Hotpoint-Ariston door seal.
  • Refit inner and outer clamps securely.
