    Hi everyone

    Does anyone have any recommendation for a washing machine repair crowd who don't charge €65 call out? I just need to replace the door gasket seal, I bought the seal myself, pulled out the machine, got the old seal off but I can not for the life of me get the new one on.

    Thanks

    Have you tried some youtube videos on this?

    I did replace the glass myself before, but can't remember the process as it was a number of years ago.

    Thanks lads I'm blue in the face from looking at youtube vids!
    I know how to fit its just doing it is very awkward and finicky. A lot of machines you can take the front off to make it easier but you cant on mine:(

    Maybe you could take the door/seal into a place, get them to fit the seal, and then just add the door back on yourself.
    Might spare on the call out charge.

    Be great but the seal actually goes onto the drum first and then the front panel. Ya know its that bigger rubber bit between the door and drum
