Hi I'm Mat from eSpares.
In this video I'll be showing how to change the door seal on a Samsung washing machine.
On this model the front of the appliance does come away giving you access to the door seal.
However, for this video I'll be changing the door seal via the door porthole
and also removing the top of the appliance.
Safety first: Always unplug an appliance before carrying out any work.
If your door seal is moldy and full of bacteria you can give it a thorough clean
and prevent that mold and bacteria from returning and you can see how to do that
in a separate eSpares video.
The next thing I need to do is take off the outer retaining band that holds the door seal in place.
and the best way to do this is to use a flat head screwdriver
and start by releasing the tensioning spring first.
And then you can just work the flathead screwdriver around the door seal releasing the band.
with the outer retaining band removed
you then need to remove the door seal from the outer panel and push inside the machine.
With the door seal pushed inside the next thing you need to do is to take the top of the appliance
To take the top of the appliance you'l need to undo these two screws at the back.
With the top of the machine here we can see the in a retaining band that holds the door seal in place
and the screw tensioner holding it in position.
So you just need to use a cross headed screwdriver
to undo that, not fully as it can come away with the door seal itself.
With the inner retaining band released you can now lift the door seal up and away from the machine.
And the inner retaining bands simply comes with it.
Here we have on you door seal, what I've done is run some washing up liquid
around the outside off the rim to help lubricate it and put it onto the machine.
Most door seals have drain holes, these fit at the bottom of the door seal.
So you can just ease it into the machine
Once the door seal is inside the machine work the top of the seal over the inner lip first
before working your way round to the bottom.
Once the inner retaining band is in place
all the way around the groove around the seal you can then re tighten it.
With the inner retaining band nice and tight you can then refit the outer part of the door seal,
again you might want to use washing up liquid to help you get it round.
starting at the top again so you can hang the door seal on the outside.
With the door seal firmly in place you can then replace the outer retaining band
good tip is to start with the spring in position keep your finger on the spring and then work
the outer retaining band around door seal.
Now all you need to do is to replace the top of the appliance.
So there we have it one brand new door seal fitted to this Samsung washing machine.
