Washer leaks water from the front door area during wash

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

Step-by-step checks:

• Inspect gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the entire circumference of the rubber seal. Look for tears, holes, or deformation.
• Remove debris: Clean out coins, hairpins, or lint trapped in the folds of the gasket.
• Check clamps: Verify that the outer and inner retaining bands are secure. Refit or replace if loose.
• Replace gasket if damaged: Remove the outer clamp, peel off the old gasket, transfer any vent tubes, and fit a new Blomberg-compatible door seal. Reinstall clamps securely.
• Detergent use: Use HE detergent in the recommended quantity to prevent excessive foaming that can push water past the seal.
