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 rubber door gasket for tears, holes, or deformation, especially at the bottom.
- Clean seal: Wipe away lint, hair, and detergent residue from the gasket and door glass. Debris can prevent a tight seal.
- Check clamps: Gently pull back the gasket edge to inspect the inner and outer retaining rings. Ensure they are seated and not loose.
- Door alignment: Verify the door closes evenly and is not sagging. Tighten hinge screws if needed.
- When to replace parts: Replace the door gasket (boot seal) if it is torn or permanently deformed. Ensure clamps are properly reinstalled to prevent leaks.
