The inner clamp band to the drum for your machine is Stock Number: ES657529 and is not supplied with the door seal. The outer clamp band is Stock Number: ES831870
- Thanks Chris, Tur clamp band on the outside of the door seal is ok, but the inner spring-like band has come off and is warped from rattling around indside the drum and no longer holds the seal in place. This is the bit we'd need to replace (together with the actual door seal). Do you think they're easy to find as I can't see one available from ESpares. Thank you.

- There are two small drain holes, to prevent sitting water in the rubber ring. If you position, the moulded rubber part at the top, then the drain holes will be at the bottom, where they are supposed to be

I have an Integrated Indesit Washing Machine. It would be really hard to take the machine out of the kitchen unit to remove any top or front -can I replace the seal by just removing the door? Also- do I need to also buy the circular fixings or can I reuse the old ones?

but the old seal does not have the rubber protrusion shown on the inner edge of the picture of this seal on the website. Did Oddjob have any problems after fitting the seal. the back face of the old seal is flat whereas the new one is ribbed.

As long as the seal fits and the drain holes are in the correct place then the extra protrusion is not a problem. Manufacturers will sometimes change a part in production and this lip is designed to help washing to keep away from the drum edge and nost rub the seal on spin.
if the front of the washing machine is welded how can you fix the door seal to the drum,
- Hi Pete, I know you probably didn't mean it the way said it, but the seal doesn't actually fit to the drum, it fits to the static part of the washer just in front of the rotating drum. First you need to remove the top of your washer and carefully remove what you can from the top of the inside such as the water feed to the deturgent tray, cross strangtheners etc. I found it best to take a few photos with your phone to remind yourself where it all goes back. You should be able to remove the control panel from the top of the front panel, there will probably be a couple of wires still attached but they are long enough to get it out of the way. With the door open, you should be able to remove the front seal retainer and then the seal from the front, once removed you can access the rear of the seal and the retaining spring (device). Clean everything up with some soapy water and fit the new seal, simples! You can move or hold the drum back slighly (3 to 4 inces) to give you a better view, you may need another pair of hands, but you have to work from the top of the inside of the washer, it's tight! Just take your time and double check the positioning of the seal (drain holes at six O'Clock) before closing up and reffiting everything you removed. Good luck - it's not that bad a job really and if you get really stuck, you can always call out an engineer, at least you'll have a new seal!
The new seal pictured has an additional drain tab/protrusion which my old seal does not have. Will this fit my machine or is there an alternative? 1 Answer

Hi oddjob, if your model number is listed as fitting this part, it will fit. However I'd just double check, as generally speaking, if your original seal doesn't have that protrusion on it, the replacement shouldn't either.
When fitting I have read some advice to seal the sealing edge with a product called debor, is this necessary and do you advise its use?
