how to identify a grey one-tube washer door seal
have the leak source confirmed before choosing a replacement seal. the light-grey 00680768 / 00772658-style supply is epdm with one open tube and no lighting nozzle; clamps and wires are separate.
a related reference or similar colour does not establish the required material or connection layout.

scope: check every port, drain opening, seating lip and the full e-nr slash revision. some 00680769 / 00772653-family seals use grease-resistant silicone. do not drill a closed moulded feature or substitute epdm without confirming suitability.

steps
- leave the washer off
close the water tap. unplug only if the plug and surrounding area are dry and safely accessible. with the washer unplugged, cool and empty, look for split rubber or clothing trapped against the glass.
- show the old seal
check the product page and give the technician the full model revision and seal photos. show the tube, any extra opening and any lighting connection. colour or one part reference alone is not enough.
- confirm the seal type
ask the technician to check the required material and all connections. a silicone-specific seal or different openings need a separate check, even if the part references look related. do not drill moulded features.
- arrange fitting
have the technician fit the right seal with the correct clamps and check that the seal and its connections do not leak after reassembly.
