Bosch Maxx Seimens Washing Machine Door Seal

Found the model number for my Bosch Classixx 6 washing machine on the inside of the door. Although wasn't a perfect match for the many model numbers quoted thought it was worth having a go for £14. Arrived next day and fitted in about an hour. Watched youtube to see how to replace this part and in the end didn't need to take off the top and electronics panel as front appears to come off with just 4 screws behind the kick plate. Tip was to smear washing up liquid on the rubber lip to get it in place on drum. Most diffifcult part was fitting the wire on the outer seal - fiddly but doable. Anyway new wash on the go and leak sorted. Saved myself a few hundred quid so recommended.

Installed this a few months (perhaps a year) ago, and it’s working fine with no leaks or drips.Two things to note:You’ll need a hook tool to remove and replace the spring that secures this seal (I bought the “Rolson 59133 4 pc Pick and Hook Set” — the hook from which was perfect for this job.)Make sure from time to time to clean the inside of the glass door where it meets the seal; scale and even grit can collect particularly at the bottom there, increasing the friction and therefore stress and wear on the seal. Not doing that was probably why my original seal tore at the bottom.

Part arrived on time and looked ok to use but unfortunately i ordered the wrong part so couldnt use it. Not worth sending back as it was low priced compared to getting from Bosch. Will sell it privately. Got the correct part from elsewhere for £15 as Amazon didnt sell it and it installed easily ok and not had a leak since.

A video on YouTube described how to fit the seal and also warned that two people would be required to complete the fitting. This proved correct. Apart from that, fitting was relatively easy and has proved to be watertight. While the packaging was slightly damaged, the product was not affected. What has delighted me most is the amount of money I have saved:- no call-out fee for a plumber, a price much cheaper than original Bosch equivalent, and the satisfaction of doing it myself. No-brainer really.

Ordered item, got a set of motor brushes. Complained, explained, got another set of motor brushes.No stars as I never got to find out if this is any good.And all the time the washing keeps on piling up.......The cat weed on the bed last night. At some point I might be able to wash the duvet and sheets, but I certainly won't fix the door seal with a set of brushes.

Good replacement for seal though not original is a good quality rubber so should last for many years.

I had put off changing the this part when I saw how much the original Bosch piece was, then I saw this spare part for sale and decided to try it. Ring fit properly my Bosch Maxx6 washing machine and thanks to the excellent eSpares video on Youtube, the installation was far less painful than it could have been. Replacing the ring is a great DIY project that will save you plenty by not having to call a professional.

The door seal on my Bosch Maxx WFL 2060 GB needed replacing. Easy enough to replace, doesn't take too long to replace yourself and far cheaper than getting someone in to replace it for you. I have ran the machine through several cycles and there have been no leaks. Very happy with this purchase.
