Door Seal Samsung Front Loader Washing Machine How to
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- Complete how to tutorial on installing a door seal on a Samsung washing machine (front loader). If you're going to do a temporary fix which might be good enough for a permanent fix, then use polyurethane sealant, such as Selleys 310ml Grey Flexiseal Polyurethane Sealant. The silicone i use in the video will harden and not seal for very long, maybe 10 washing cycles before it leaks again. The Polyurethane Sealant could almost be a permanent fix if your lucky, so i would try that first if you want to save some money, otherwise replace the seal.
I got my seal from eBay (Seller information - appliancepartsaus)

Tried to do this for about an hour last night and quit before I kicked the door off and threw the whole thing in the tip. Started again with a fresh attitude this morning and nailed it! Thank you so much, this has been the most helpful youtube tutorial ever.
Handy hint for future people watching, if you're on the smaller/female/less strong side, a flathead screwdriver (used gently - don't want to tear the brand new seal!!) helps to get the spring coil over the lip of the outer seal.
Wow so grateful for this very detailed video. I didn’t find $2 under my machine BUT it is now brand new again. AND we actually repaired it to then donate it to the flood victims in Australia 2022. So, your gift has allowed a family to enjoy a not-leaky washing machine thank you so much :D
Great video. I’ve now ordered the seal. I replaced my old Simpson after 10 years because the seal started leaking. Had this new Samsung for two years and it starts leaking… call out costs half the washing machine price so thought I’d replace it myself and your clear great video has given me confidence. Hardest part is going to be getting the inner ring back on, but with 2 curious kids with smaller hands, we’ll get it done. Thank you for taking the time to compile this video.
Spoke too early, i took the rubber off at the front and removed the top, and though I've got the same looking bubble model as you show, the plastic drum extends in mine all the way to the front, so I ended up having to take the front panel off (two of the screws are behind the controller so that was tricky) but that give good access to the top screw of the inner loop. And here is where the problem started. I realised soon that the screw has been overtightened and that no amount of 90 degree thumb manipulation could get it loose... it's so tight that the thread just gave out (I had to use elbow screwdrivers) and now after a full day of trying I still haven't been able to get the screw off... it's hard as rock and although I have screw drivers that grip (I am using a flat one) it's still impossible to take off.
What is your model number?
Legend! Just picked up this exact same model for free. Totally filthy but now taking it apart and cleaning everything meticulously. Thanks to you, I've now managed to get the door seal out and cleaned it up like new! Thank you!
Thanks for this! After the initial distress of discovering a leaky machine, finding this tutorial, ordering a replacement part and having fixed it successfully with your help I wanted to add another grateful comment. You should realize the amount of money you've saved people all over the globe! When I asked my dad initially if he ever replaced such seal he looked dumbfounded because their Miele is still working fine after 40y(!). Can't expect that from modern electro and the current service based models, but you bought this machine a few more years hopefully!
On the process; I did spend 2h instead of 13' mostly fiddling with getting the inner ledge on (on that note, the lubricant might help with it sliding on, but also makes it easier to slide back off when you're trying to hook it over at the end and/or working to get the spring secured) but with some perseverance it did all work out. Don't get dissuaded.
Just wanted to say thank you! None of the other videos I've watched showed the seal and wire set up clearly!
Amazing video. I studied this whilst waiting for the part to come.
Worked at it today and I'm doing a test wash right now. That inner seal and wire was a pain!!! I think my problem was having the wire too tight when trying to fit it, slowing loosening it and ensuring the inner seal stayed in seemed to finally get it right. Thanks so much for putting this video together!
true. I had this problem
Glad it was helpful!
Hey mate. Thanks a lot for the tutorial. It was clear and easy to follow. I used it, and installed the new seal with no fuss. No way I could have done it without your help. As others said. U r a legend! Also, I found $2 in mine as well.
Great news Paul and that's the reason I made this video. I had to do the research for myself and thought it would have been very helpful to make this video for others to follow.
Thank you so much! I watched your video a few times and changed out my own door seal (while watching the video again!) with 100% success. Couldn't have done it without you. Saved myself a $300 call-out here in Tassie.
Wow didn’t know it cost that much, I’m now even more grateful!
I would like to say thank you! I have done this by my own as my first time and watched your tutorial which is really helpful for people who doesn’t have a skills. Despite the plumber will cost me $200 I only paid for Ebay $55!! Much appreciated
Thanks Outie555, pearler of an instructional vid, great presentation, cam angles, audio and editing. Love your work :). I couldn't however get the inside seal on using your method, it kept slipping off from another part when getting past half of it on. I checked all the comments to see if anyone else had that problem and had offered a solution, and ironically it was the one negative comment right at the bottom that led me to the solution. I am guessing that perhaps not all seals have the same flexibility (difference between Samsung and aftermarket supplier perhaps?). In any case I ended up figuring out how to remove the front panel (remove console cover first, and DO NOT REMOVE DOOR OR LATCH) and with that out the way it was much easier to get the seal on. I write this in the hope it helps others out if they can't get your method to work. Thanks again for saving me and many others many $$.
Jesus man , perfect explanation and for someone who never dares strip an appliance down i followed your guidance and it was just as you described , brilliant video
Thanks for believing in me and taking that leap of faith
I had to remove the top and the front to get enough room to place the rubber. Made my life a lot easier. Other than that, cheers for the video
Thanks for the tip
Thank you man, you saved me 100 euros and a week without a washing machine while waiting for service.
Whew, took me 3 hours :-) Thanks for the video, it did help, but it's quite a finicky job. My biggest problem was positioning the inner clamp wire... Until I realised that on my model you actually have to turn the screw clockwise to untighten. I also had to remove the front control panel. Anyway, 3 hours and 5 cuts later job done.
Nobody shows properly how to get first wire in apart from you, so thanks ever so much, taking time and explaining it all, subscribed to your channel,this is the way of saying thank you
Thank you, really appreciate it and glad to have helped
Ok, yet another do it yourselfer who followed your video.
Boy is that a fun job, I must have slid the rubber onto the washing bowl a dozen times and it slid right off 11 times. I was really concerned when I went to stick the wire ring back, but amazingly it dropped right into place. Then there was the outside rubber ring with the springy wire. The rubber wasn't so bad because it could be handled much more easily than the inner seal but the springy ring, goodness is that hard on the fingers, mind you it only took about 4 attempts so I guess it was easier than the inside ring.
I did find that if you "carefully" shoved a bit of three by one between the back of the control panel and the tub you could give yourself a bit more room to get your fingers in when fitting the inside seal. I suspect that once you have the knack the inside seal is easy, on the 12th attempt it just seemed to roll straight on without much effort, pity that didn't happen on the first attempt.
My last repair was the rubber hose from the soap tank to the inner housing, broke the tank and I had to weld that back together with a hot knife and some hot melt glue.
Thanks for the video. My Samsung front loader lives, yet again, and, doesn't leak anymore.
Great video. This gave me the confidence to order a new seal for £25 and do the silicone trick so the machine could still be used. I put masking tape either side of the missing bit and filled the gap with silicone. I then formed the tape to the right shape and left it to set. When I removed the tape next day, the seal was so good I felt like leaving it as a permanent repair. However, a couple of weeks later, the bodge started to leak again so I reviewed the video and set to work.
The only issues I had was the small hose clip fell off and disappeared under the drum - aghh! Luckily it ended up somewhere near the front of the machine and I was able to retrieve it with a magnet on a stick after I got the seal out. The other issue is the inner drum wire on my later UK machine was released by tightening the screw, not loosening it. This works against a spring that provides the tension to hold the seal in place. Had to remove the soap dispenser to figure that out, but that step isn't necessary if you know. My other tip is to use a quick clamp to hold the drum to the back of the machine, giving you TWO hands to refit the seal!
But my advice is just a bit of decoration on top of a very good cake. Well done, and thanks :)
Thanks so much for such clear instructions. Managed it all by myself. Fixed for $65 (cost of seal) instead of goodness knows how much to get a tradie out to replace it. Cheers mate!!
I've got a leaking seal right now and waiting for the part to come.
For a quick repair I got an inner tube puncture repair kit with the rubber glue and stuck that on. It did the trick 👍👍
That's a great idea for a quick fix. Can't see why it wouldn't stay stuck until your new seal arrives
Not all superheroes wear capes!!! ...
Great help for the DIY blokes...
Mine was leaking cos it had the inside wire loose not sealing well and drainage holes offset ....
Cheers!!
A few things not made too clear...
The small triangular tab on the seal is there for a reason. It lines up with a mark on the drum to ensure it is in the correct position.
The wire on the inner seal area is loosened by screwing in ( clockwise) and not like a jubilee clip ( anti clockwise)
Great tips
Putting back the wire is the most difficult part. Currently struggling with it
I had to attempt it three times before getting it on. The soap thing works, and disconnecting that pipe to give yourself room helps. I had to put on kitchen gloves as my fingertips were raw after the first two attempts.
@@albiejansevanrensburg9996 I made it eventually pushing the wire with a screwdriver
++++❤❤❤❤
I found the inner clamp untightens clockwise. I got this wrong undoing it but with the help of my son who didn't know which way clockwise was we succeeded. Also, putting the inner clamp back on, we just put the seal on first then slipped the clamp over the top. This video was the most helpful, but some other videos contributed to a successful operation too.
Clearly described, and doesn’t miss key steps and details that other videos on this do. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
You are a life saver. I was putting the rubber boot seal over the steel drum. 7:38
Nice
Dude I just watched your video to swap out the leaking door seal on my machine. Running a test wash now - so far, so good.
Thanks for the great video. But I'm lodging a complaint, since I didn't find two bucks behind my machine when I pulled it out... 🤣
Cheers.
Sometimes it takes time to find a decent amount of money in the wash. Sometimes you might find a Bitcoin. Other times it might just be bits.
Echoing so many other comments here but thanks so much for this very clear and thorough tutorial! Last weekend I had a failed attempt following other tutorials so tackled it again this weekend following yours and what do you know! Finished in record time.
Great job!
Great tutorial! I have two left hands, but I got seal out. The screw on the inside ring was very difficult, had to break the ring. Tomorrow the new seal and ring wil be delivered. If I get this all right and working again I will take a shoey on you. Greez from the Netherlands and thanks for the upload!
Thank you so much - your video is the best - saved a machine from the dump
That's great news
Loved this video, especially the work around so we could use the machine while waiting for the new seal. Great stuff. 😊
Thanks, man! Because of this I could almost do this without crying!
Fantastic video, thank ypu very much, no more wet slippy floors thanks to a small hole in the door seal, only 20 minutes to change seals from end to end!
Nice tutorial. Added little comments on old drum cleanup before new seal installation were great.
Great video thanks heaps and kudos for doing it one handed! Replaced the seal on my WW85J54EOIW using your instructions and then discovered it's still under warranty... Also needed to use pliers to pull the front spring it was so tight.
Superb. Helped out a ton. Almost the same as VRTplus 12kg model. Just had to take out the light bulb and front control panel
Nice work!
My man, just want to say THANK YOU!!!! Used you guidance to fix my machine, was just great. Felt like a professional. If you were in Wellington NZ I would pay you a cold beer!!!!
Well one day I might blow in to a bar in windy Wellington and and you'll hear my voice and offer me that beer! Thanks for your comment and so glad it was helpful for you.
Brilliant video! So much better than others I tried to follow. Your attention to all the tricky bits meant that I nailed it, and loved the entertaining presentation. Saved me the cost of a callout or worse, a new machine. You’re a legend. Just hoping you’ve got all my other appliances too 😁 👍👍
Thank you so much! I was trying to put the seal in, and the wire on, for so long with endless attempts, and the way you did it and showed it was just perfect!!! I managed to do it on the first attempt!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Great video and great help!
Brilliant video thanks. All done all working but I only found 50p. Cheers
Thanks dude, wasn’t the exact same as my Samsung washer drier but it was close enough!
thanks so much for this tutorial! was driving us mad trying to figure out the inside wire. Husband still out there refusing to do the 'soap' thing - but he'll come around soon! Can't be told by his wife.
Keep in there Yvonne, I'm sure he'll either figure it out or do as your telling him.
Excellent tutorial!!! You have done your homework. And to hear an Aussie voice, it helped me greatly with my homework. Task completed easily....thanks to YOU. Ps. If I can join the chorus...'Beers are on me'!
Many many thanks for this helpful video, I did change the rubber myself with help of my wife 😁. Have a great day
Outie amazing tutorial, I just finished to do my self the rubber seal, without your help it would have not been possible to do it at home for free, I cannot believe that there are some assholes who complain about anything you showed or didn't in this tutorial.....of course do not listen to them ! Greetings from London.
Just one tip , on my machine there is a different type of screw with a much wider thread it needs to be twisted clockwise to be loosened as it strangle the wire in the different direction if turned anticlockwise.
Thanks mate, yep some people are very ungrateful but you're not one of them. Have a fantastic Christmas
@@outie555two you too, merry Xmas to you :)
Brilliant thanks. Wasn't able to find the front wire until I watched this
thank you, you saved me $500 cause i was legit about to go buy a new washing machine
I have a damaged seal from a similar version of this one of yours (mine is 12kg but the seal is probably the same, with more diameter). It helped me a lot to quick learn how to replace it. Many thanks👍
That's great news Leo
Thank you, swapped mine in 10m thanks to your advices 😊
Glad it helped!
You’re a godsend. Thank you 🙏
PS: this also works for model Wf203ans/xac
Terrific mate, good to know
Thankyou the spring on the outside seal fell off and your video helped me find out where it goes and fix it
Thanks, made it easy to do. pity these seals are made so terribly... had the first one fail after 2 years, now just put on a 3rd one
What an incredibly helpful video. Easily the most helpful one of these I’ve watched and saved me an expensive call-out or a new machine. Cheers mate 👍
Thanks buddy
Great video thanks though getting the seal onto the drum was very difficult.I ended up removing the front door panel before I could get the seal to fit correctly over the drum flange and fit the securing wire .
Thank you. I'm about to do exactly this rather than taking the bottom off and checking those hoses first. After checking the funnel and hose I can't find any moisture or sign of leaks so I suppose I can rule out this particular part being an issue. I have a feeling my leak is coming from one of the hoses down in the bottom right corner at the front as the door seal is also in perfect condition. Hopefully you have a video showing the best way to go about checking and it replacing hoses down there. Turns out the water dispensing tray above the detergent draw was leaking. Sourced a new one and installed it. All is fine now, no more leaks.
I'm not sure what your issue actually is, sorry.
@@outie555two turns out the water inlet above the detergent tray, (on a front load washing machine) was leaking so I sourced a new one and installed it. Good as new.
Thank you mate. Life saver and modern day legend. All the best.
Thanks buddy
Thank you very very much!! Your video just saved my day! I can replace the seal successfully because of your clear and totally useful guides 👍👍
You're comment makes me happy
Awesome video mate, uou have saved me $7-800 havimg to spend on a new washing machine! Very well explained and great video showing exactly what to do step by step along with tips and tricks, keep it up! 😁👍😁
That's terrific news and glad to see this video helped you
PS If you spend your life gaming inside, this was the best way for me and my husband to get a dopamine hit while actually achieving something useful rather than executing dragons ! Now we want to fix everything in the house ourselves…
Good job. I feel you two would love the show "dead pixels"
Thank you - about to give it a go - we’ll let you know how we went - your instructions are excellent
Great instructions. Thanks, following the video it was easy to replace. Remember to use the soap!
Thanks for the video. Replaced mine yesterday and couldn’t of done it without the video.
Brilliant news Cathal, glad to have helped
A big thank you! I followed your instructions and worked perfectly. For me it was a good way to spend time and learn something during the lock down (and also saving money). Thanks again
Thanks from Argentina!! Espectacular video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice explanation. Helped me a lot. Thanks so much!
You are welcome!
Spot on. Too bad kept leaking afterwards. More investigating needed
Thank you. You saved me a lot of money.
Glad I could help
This is seriously the best video. IT was the ultimate lesson and hand-holding I needed through this shitty task. Effin excellent my friend. Cheers
Thank you for the video mate! Was exactly what I needed to replace my seal. Very easy to follow along. Cheers!
Thanks for the video. I got stuck on removing the the inner cable though. Was unable to get the screw unscrewed. Even with enough room to move with your tips I could not get any movement in the screw. Have called a repairman to finish the job :-(
THK U So Much, mine just arrived. Wish me luck!.
I wish you good luck
Thanks. Second time I have had to do this now. Great video
Let's hope you don't need the old, third time's a charm!
I replaced the door seal on my Samsung washing machine and man was it tough. I think The Secret is to use a lot of soapy water because it's really hard to get it on the inside rim.
Love the video, and you're right... Grime does pay.
🤣
Thanks so much for posting this. Abolutely invaluable!! Cheers.😎😀😀🙏🙏🙏
My pleasure!
Thanks a lot. Your video really helps.
Fantastic
Thank you that seal inside was a killer
But with your help I did it 👍👍👍
Thank you I could not have done it without you.
Glad I was able to assist
Thanks buddy...... It worked a treat and saved me a load of cash I can now spend on some BBQ food and beer! Topman!
Sweet, good drills!
Best detail on here, thank you!
Thank you for the very useful tips and images on installing the door seal. Very clear and simple.
Thanks for your comment, and best of luck if you need to do this.
Awesome video, bro. Massive help made it so easy👍
Glad to hear it!
thankx just changed mine x
Well THAT was not as easy as you made it look. But I got there in the end. Im certain you must have cut the cursing and throwing of tools around bits out of your vid. Thanks this worked for my wf8750lsw
Nah, I think I got lucky as a few people have had the same issue as you.
Thanks matey for uploading this video, it helped me a lot. Btw I used silicone spray to apply the sealing easier. I guess your video was helpful for at least 80.000 other people as well!
Yep you made that look too easy. Waiting for someone to fit on the back drum. Easy to get off a pain in the ar5e to get back on.
Great tutorial- but I’m stuck as to whether I have the tensioning screw tight enough or the seal on incorrectly!??!😩🤷🏻♀️ you made it look so easy!! Any help??!!!
Many thanks. Excellent guide.
Nice to hear
Great video
Not all heroes wear capes... thank you mab
Thanks legend 👌
Thanks for the great video! I can’t believe we managed to do it.
I watched other videos after yours, and yours is probably the best and most comprehensive. However, some show pulling out several hoses from the door seal. Just different models? Thanks.
Hey man, very helpful trick with soap. Thank you very much for the video!
Good video, tried a couple of others before, this was the one that got the job done!! Fiddly job but stick with it!!
Thanks mate!
Best tutorial! Thank you so much, mate. You've save me a lot of grief. Cheers. Suze
Thank you for you're kind words suz
@@outie555two No worries at all. I've tried to follow a few tutorials and they don't explain things in detail for someone like me. I'm an artist, what do I know about machines?...lol. I am very grateful to you snd I got my machine working...woo hoo! Thanks again, mate🤗
Thanks a lot! I did it in about 30 minutes. Wished i did much earlier. It was damn easy and cost me €40.👍👍👍
Many thanks for your excellent instructions. Still took me north of 2 hours... most of that time fitting the seal on the inside and fiddling with the inside wire. If you have any more detailed insider tips on getting the deal started on the inside, that would certainly help. All that said... thanks again... and if I needed a reason for never buying a front-loader again, I've found it.
Really really helpful! Thanks so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
Fabulous! Excellently presented and explained.
Thank you for your kind words
I just did all that..except I took it all apart. Found that the shock absorbers were off or broken. ( not connected) so I hooked them all up. Put the new seal on and began putting the door back on. DIDN'T line up at all..i had to raise it at least 8 inches. Finally adjusted it enough for the door to close snug. I followed step by step on several videos and I'm 100 % sure the seal is installed correctly. Wrong, still leaking down the door right through the seal. What am I missing? I don't know what to do..i just bought this washer used and I seriously regret it. I know it's not the "other" 3-4 culprits it could be as I checked everything else. It's the seal. Brand new, help please
