washing machine leak sealant

[<me9]

Having disasembled the drum of my electrolux washing machine (to replace drum bearings, on re-assembly, the connection from the drum to the pressure switches has started leaking. This is like a 25mm rubber (or similar) grommet with a foam separator attached, to which is attached the thin pipe to the pressure switches. I've removed the 'grommet' from the hole in the drum and cleaned the surfaces, and am considering how to guarantee (FSVO) leaks from the (elderly and probably hardened) grommet. Three thoughts are

1: rubber solution (cycle repair kit)

2: Fernox LSX

2: Silicone glazing sealant

I don't want a reaction between the grommet and the sealant causing it to perish.

Which (or what else) would the assembled expertise recommend?

From experience I'd go with the LSX. Fernox site has details of any unsuitable materials IIRC.

Silicone has done the trick for me in similar low pressure scenarios, many times before.

I've sealed it with LS-X, It worked. It seems very similar to (probably is -- slight acetic smell) silicone.

Got it all assembled and tested it. Worked fine except for a /different/ water leak, I hadn't the door gasket on properly!

Having a break and cup of tea before final (I hope) reassembly.
