steps
- stop the leak
stop using the washer and close the tap. unplug only from a dry, safely accessible point. with the washer off, unplugged, cool and empty, look for split or folded rubber and trapped clothing.
- send clear photos
send the full model label, including its slash revision, and photos of the old seal's tube and any extra connections for checking before ordering. do not cut open moulded features.
- have the version checked
ask the technician to check the required material and connections, even if another seal has a similar reference. have them confirm the leak source and use the correct clamps in good condition.
- have the repair checked
the technician should check that the door closes normally and the finished repair does not leak.
