reaplacing door seal for Siemens washing machine.

Jan 29, 2011 1 Replies

Hi,



anyone know how easy it is to replace the rubber door seal on a Siemens SiwaMAT Xli 1240 washing machine.



I've had a look online for some guidance but haven't been able to find much



Cheers Chris


Assuming it's like every other washing machine I've met, it's dead easy.

Open the door and look around the outside edge of the seal until you find the retaining device - a wire, usually, with a retaining screw, though other systems exist. Undo it. Push the seal into the drum and find how the inner join is made. Undo it. Remove the old seal.

Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. Just make sure that any "features" are correctly oriented - things like drain holes and gush deflectors.
