Description
What this door seal fixes on a washing machine:
- water leaking from the bottom of the door during the wash or spin
- black mould or a split in the rubber lip that will not clean off
- a musty smell or grey marks left on washing
Fits: WFL85T48W2. Check the model number on the sticker inside the door or on the back before ordering.
Replace it (45 to 90 minutes):
- Unplug the machine and prise off the outer spring clamp with a flat screwdriver.
- Remove the top panel and detergent drawer so you can reach the inner clamp, then pull the old seal off the tub lip.
- Seat the new seal on the tub first, drain holes at the bottom, then fold it onto the front panel and refit both clamps.
- Run a short rinse cycle empty and check for drips before you load it.
About This Part
The door seal is the rubber ring that closes the gap between the drum opening and the door. When it perishes, splits or grows permanent mould, you’ll see water on the floor mid-cycle, notice musty-smelling washing, or find black marks on clean loads. A new seal restores the watertight fit and stops the damage spreading.
Replacing a door seal is a realistic DIY job for most owners — roughly 45–60 unhurried minutes with basic hand tools, no service callout needed. Unplug the appliance first and note how the old seal sits before easing it off.
