Of course, the first is the definition by the eye, i.e. visually. Look carefully at the cuff itself, if you find a hole or a puncture in the elastic band of the washing machine, you have found the cause of the appearance of a puddle of water on the floor, i.e. cuff torn.

How to establish that the cuff is leaking for sure?
If leaks occur, carefully inspect the hatch cuff for damage. As practice shows, it is not difficult to detect them.
What leads to the need to replace the washing machine door seal?
1.Natural "physical" wear and tear. When washing clothes, the cuff, which is made of rubber, is constantly exposed to various types of influences: a change of cold and hot water, chemical detergents, friction on the elastic band of linen and the drum of the washing machine.Over time, under the influence of the above factors, the gum acquires such physical qualities as brittleness and friability, which, of course, violates the tightness of the cuff, and, as a result, leakage occurs.
2. Mechanical type damage. When washing, various sharp objects (Pin, screw, small children's toys, etc.) can accidentally get into the drum of washing machines, which tear the rubber seal. And you can inadvertently close the door to pinch the cuff.
3. Mold or fungal lesions. In such a situation, the washing machine necessarily appears bad smell. The most common way to solve this situation is to replace the rubber seal on the washing machine.
How to proceed: replace or repair the cuff?
Do not rush to replace the cuff! In some cases, you can save your finances and get off with its repair. Wait arrival of the master and listen to the advice of a professional on this matter. Often, if the cuff is damaged at the side or at the top, the repair will consist only of gluing, and not replacing with a new one. By the way, for some unpopular models of washing machines it can be very difficult to find the necessary spare parts, so a specialist needs to repair the damaged seal.
Repair of a rubber seal by a specialist includes the following steps:
-
Removing the cuff Removing the cuff. In some cases, it is possible not to dismantle the sealant, but in practice it has been proven that a patch glued in this way holds much worse.
- preparatory work to create a patch. Such a process is carried out approximately as follows: a patch of suitable size is cut out of a sufficiently soft rubber, the size is calculated so that the patch can cover the damaged borders of 10-15 mm along its entire length. Then the specialist carefully degreases the place of gluing on the patch and on the cuff.
- Next, glue the patch. The master applies glue to the prepared patch, and then it is glued to the damaged area of the rubber seal from the outside.
- Then the cuff is installed in its place, after the glue dries, the master assembles.
Stages of work on the replacement of the cuff
- Dismantling the old cuff. To perform this procedure, the specialist unfastens 2 fixing clamps, with which the seal is attached to the hatch body and the front wall of the washing machine. After such manipulations, the cuff will easily separate from the edge of the tank.
- Installing a new cuff
Removal in a circle . First, before installation, the specialist carefully cleans the edge of the tank from accumulated dirt. After cleaning is completed, the cuff is actually installed in its original place - the master smears the seat with a soap solution and puts it on the edge of the tank. In parallel, it controls the alignment of the installation marks, which are located on the seal (rubber influx) and on the tank of the device. With the next action, the master returns the fixing clamps to their place - immediately the inner one, and then the front one.
- Leak check procedure. After completing the work, the master turns on the rinse program for a couple of minutes, and then examines the washing machine for possible leaks.
When contacting the master, find out the following information in advance:
- brand and, if possible, the model of the washing machine that needs to be replaced. For example, Bosch WLG2426WOE or LG F1089ND5.
