Washer leaks water from the front door area during wash or rinse.

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

Step-by-step checks:

• Inspect the gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the entire circumference of the rubber door seal. Look for tears, holes, or areas where the seal has pulled away from the drum or front panel.
• Remove foreign objects: Check the fold of the gasket for coins, bra wires, or other sharp items that may have punctured it. Remove any debris.
• Check clamps: The gasket is held by inner and outer clamps (spring bands or wire rings). Ensure they are seated correctly and not broken. If loose, refit or replace.
• Replace gasket if damaged: Mark the top position, remove the outer clamp, peel the gasket from the front panel, then remove the inner clamp from the tub. Fit the new Rosières door gasket in reverse order, ensuring correct orientation and no twists.
• Control suds: Use high-efficiency detergent and correct dosage to prevent foam overflow through the vent holes.
