  Not as easy as it looks with Indesit Washing Machine 13 April 2015

  After watching the tutorial on e-spares showing how to change the door seal on a washing machine, I thought it was definitely worth having a go as it looked really easy........not so! Unfortunately, after taking the top of the machine off as shown in the tutorial, we were unable to locate any screws to enable us to remove the front of the washing machine. So had to take the door off and try to change the seal that way. Due to the lack a space it allows you, it is extremely difficult to replace the spring retainer clips. Had they been the ones which come undone as in one of the tutorials, it would have been slightly easier. But we had the ones which were in one piece and needed to be stretched to be refitted. Although we eventually managed to get the first retaining clip back on after about 2-3 hours of trying, we came very close to giving up and our hands were really sore from the effort. We also had to remove the dispenser tray to allow us some access from the top, otherwise I don't think we would have managed it at all. Overall, I'm pleased with the end result.......I have used the machine and it doesn't show any signs of leaking, which is good. My advice would be to check if you can take off the front of the washing machine before purchasing the part, otherwise think carefully about going ahead with it yourself.

  Worth the effort 20 March 2015

  Not as easy to fit as the videos lead you to believe. The front of my Hotpoint machine is a welded part of the structure and made fitting the new seal more awkward. Definitely a four handed job to fit the retaining spring.

  Challanging to fit on my model, but worth the effort! 03 January 2015

  The seal arrived (as usual with espares) in very quick time. In advance of my plan to replace the seal, I searched for info on how to actually fit the seal and found a load of videos from espares, which seemed to explain what was involved in replacing a Hotpoint washing machine door seal. Not too long after starting the job, I discovered that my specific model of Hotpoint washing machine was different from the Hotpoint in the espares video, so access to the front of the drum was not possible. This made fitting the seal quite a bit more difficult as the seal would slip off one part of the door during the fitting process. However - with a bit of patience (and quite a few swear words), I eventually got it fitted and back together again - and no spare screws left over! Despite the difficulties I had, I would still do it again - just a pity the manufacturers service instruction manual was not more readily available, with advice on how items like the door seal should be fitted!

  Good seal but hard to fit 10 December 2013

  The youtube video dealing with a Hotpoint door seal has little relevance to the WMF540P (UK) model. The front does not come off (welded to the case) so the seal has to be fitted through the front aperture. This was a struggle and needed an extra hand at times to refit the inner retaining spring. It would be good to see a video of fitting for this model. The seal itself is fine and fits well and has cured the weeping from the door itself.

  Relatively easy to fit... 26 November 2013

  ...but our model wasn't exactly the same as that in the video clip. Our front panel was welded, aand not removable which made replacing the door seal more awkward - especially with large hands in small spaces! Think we've succeeded!

  Not as easy as it looked 17 October 2013

  There were significant differences between the machine we own & the one used as an example in the video - eventually we had to call in a professional who also struggled mightily to fit the thing

  Best Delivery System 13 August 2013

  The product is fine and not too expensive but it is very difficult to fit - it would be easier next time. You delivery system is great. Kept me well informed and it arrived precisely on schedule.
