Remove the top of the machine(screws are at the back). Look down the side of the front door on the inside of the machine. You will see a metal wire band holding the rubber on. You usually only need a screwdriver to loosen the screw which holds it tight. Try it out and get back to me if you get problems good luck
I did it! Thanks Paul, now I can cancel the repair guy that was scheduled to come in
two weeks.
No, you don't have to remove the front panel
To replace the boot gasket you first have to remove the old one. start by removing the outer ring, I used a needle nose pliers on the eyelet to stretch the spring a bit. This allowed for room so the ring came off of the outer gasket lip. To remove the gasket
off of the drum apply some down ward pressure on the gasket at the bottom. The
gasket will pop off in that spot, now just pull the rest off. I the used my needle nosed
pliers to pinch the clamp that holds the gasket to the water hose. The old boot gasket is now free from the machine.
Now to put the new boot gasket back on. A little tricky, be patient.
As you might have noticed there is a spring ring that will be holding the gasket once it is in place, put that aside for now. I followed Paul's advise, start the gasket at the top, work down one side then the other a little bit at a time, until the bottom is pushed
into place. Then came the spring ring part. That was tricky, I had to ask my 9 year old little girl to help dad. Note, keep the spring ring attached, It kept wanting to unhook itself. Start at the top, like you did with the gasket. I had my helper hold down the portion that was in place, while I worked the spring ring around some more.
Once the boot gasket is attached to the drum, attaching it to the outer ring is a piece of cake.
You do screw it to the left to undo it as much as you can, if it is stuck, then just keep gently pulling and trying to move it from side to side, screw it back in and out again, all the time moving it about as much as you can, hopefully you will eventually get it out to clean.
The fact that you are having trouble getting the filter out indicates that something is stuck in the pump filter, and this is what is holding it.
Just stick with it!!!
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks, and a merry xmas.
This is not something that is easy to fix. The front load machines use a DC motor. If the drum works when it washes and it does not spin, the issue could be the motor controller.
If the water in the machine is above a certain level a fail safe on the door lock will not allow it to be opened. Check the filter, make sure the machine has completely drained. Obviously, there may be a problem with the lock itself but try this first.All the best
This is a code that indicates the washer has tried to heat during a section of the program where heat is not reqd. This could be because you have the water intake hooked up to hot water by mistake, a fault with the heater or more likely a heater sensor or pcb fault.
Sounds like the door lock may be faulty or it isn't closed fully. If it has a child lock check you haven't set it by mistake, you have to hold the start for 5 secs+ to override it.
I believe that the key symbool indicates that the machine cannot lock the door. Sometimes the result of a slightly sticking door interlock mechanism. Open the door and close it hard and firmly (slam it a bit, but don't get silly about it!). A good test to see if this is the problem is to attempt a program with the door swinging open. If the symptoms (flashing key) are the same, then the issue is almost certainly narrowed down to that door lock mechanism.
If this fails, unplug the machine from the main power source and leave it for 20 minutes to allow it to reset its self, then try again.
