| The Old Damaged Door Seal. Split. |
I believe these splits may. (I purchased the washer second-hand), have been cause by this washing machine being over loading with clothing which rubbed against the door seal wearing and tearing these splits in it.
TIP Do not overload your washing machine. Overloading reduces the washing action and may prevent cleaning.
A Note: Even with these large splits the only time it leaked, (a small amount of water), was if it was run without cloths in. This is when the water inside would splash about more.
So why did I fix it? I decided to fix it before it got worse.
