Hi guys welcome to appliance fault.
Today I will be showing how to replace the door seal in this Bosch Maxx Classic washing machine.
It's a fairly simple job, don't need many tools.
All what I'll be using today is a hook pick and a T20 torx bit on my drill.
Now the good thing about this particular machine is that
This front panel comes off and you don't need to take off the control panel or the top lid.
The good thing about this is, if your machine is built into a cupboard or has a bench on top of it
you do not need to pull the machine out
You can just do it right there on the spot.
First, remove the dispenser. Open it and with your thumbs press on this tab here to release the dispenser.
Next, Locate the spring on the clamp that's on the door seal and using your hook pick pull it out like so.
Once the clamp is removed, take the seal off the front panel of the machine.
And push it inside.
Next up we are going to remove this plastic trim at the bottom.
To access the 2 screws that hold the front panel in place.
Open the drain pump cover.
Unscrew the 1 screw that holds the panel in place. And disconnect the emergency drain hose if your machine has one.
Push the panel to the right.
Next up, remove the 2 screws on the corners.
Simply grab the panel from the bottom, pull it away from the machine and slide it down.
Disconnect the door lock and unclip the wiring harness.
Disconnect the hose that connects the dispenser to the seal.
Grab the hook pic and hook it into the spring clamp and pull off the spring clamp.
Once the spring clamp is removed,
Grab the seal from the inside, lift it up and pull it away from the drum.
Before fitting a new seal, wipe this surface here to make sure it's all clean.
When fitting the new seal, make sure this seam here is at 12 o'clock , right at the top.
Simply fit the new seal over the rim of the tub.
When the seal is all on, push it inside the drum, this will make it easier to fit the inner spring clamp.
The way i do this, is I start at the top.
Grab the spring clamp with my thumbs like so and fit it to the groove in the seal and fit it over.
Once it's in, pull the seal out and refit the hose.
Slide the top of the panel in first.
Refit the screw at the top.
Refit the 2 screws in the bottom of the panel.
Refit the bottom kickpanel.
Fit the seal back onto the rim of the front cover.
Pull the seal out first.
What you do now grab your spring clamp and the hook pick.
Insert the hook pick into the loop of the spring.
And what you want to do, is fit the spring first and then fit on as much of the clamp onto the seal.
Once it is on, stretch the spring and fit the rest of the clamp on
Make sure it's all on properly everywhere.
Refit the dispenser.
And refit the drain pump filter cover.
