Possible Causes

Torn or worn door gasket, Foreign object trapped in seal, Loose door seal clamp, Misaligned door

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply before working around the door.

  • 1. Inspect door gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the rubber seal all around for tears, holes, or deformation. Remove any coins, hairpins, or debris.
  • 2. Clean seal: Wipe the gasket groove with a damp cloth to remove detergent residue that can prevent proper sealing.
  • 3. Check clamps: Ensure the outer and inner retaining bands/clamps are tight and properly seated. Refit if loose.
  • 4. Replace gasket if damaged: Remove the retaining bands, pull off the old gasket, and fit a new Amica-compatible door seal, aligning the drain holes at the bottom.
