I'm just fitting a new element to our old Hotpoint washing machine, and it struck me that some sealant might be a wise move. Then I looked in the manual and it says the same!
Any recommendations, please, on what to use? Clearly heat and water proof, but I'd rather *know* rather than guess...

(apologies if you see this twice; I can't see it on a few servers)
Ask Hotpoint? Alternatively a proprietary sealant such as Hermetite may well do what you need.
Normal silicone comfortably goes up to 260C, so will work fine for this application.
you can use pretty much any of the sealants. silicone, plumbers mait, epoxy, whatevers lying around. I would choose flexible, as theres a lot of vibration.
