Door Seal Samsung Front Loader Washing Machine How to

[@jessevincent2982]

Tried to do this for about an hour last night and quit before I kicked the door off and threw the whole thing in the tip. Started again with a fresh attitude this morning and nailed it! Thank you so much, this has been the most helpful youtube tutorial ever. Handy hint for future people watching, if you're on the smaller/female/less strong side, a flathead screwdriver (used gently - don't want to tear the brand new seal!!) helps to get the spring coil over the lip of the outer seal.

[@melaniefarmer358]

Wow so grateful for this very detailed video. I didn’t find $2 under my machine BUT it is now brand new again. AND we actually repaired it to then donate it to the flood victims in Australia 2022. So, your gift has allowed a family to enjoy a not-leaky washing machine thank you so much :D

[@samanthavannorman35]

Just wanted to say thank you! None of the other videos I've watched showed the seal and wire set up clearly!

[@troym1119]

Thanks for this! After the initial distress of discovering a leaky machine, finding this tutorial, ordering a replacement part and having fixed it successfully with your help I wanted to add another grateful comment. You should realize the amount of money you've saved people all over the globe! When I asked my dad initially if he ever replaced such seal he looked dumbfounded because their Miele is still working fine after 40y(!). Can't expect that from modern electro and the current service based models, but you bought this machine a few more years hopefully! On the process; I did spend 2h instead of 13' mostly fiddling with getting the inner ledge on (on that note, the lubricant might help with it sliding on, but also makes it easier to slide back off when you're trying to hook it over at the end and/or working to get the spring secured) but with some perseverance it did all work out. Don't get dissuaded.

[@owensfamily7524]

Legend! Just picked up this exact same model for free. Totally filthy but now taking it apart and cleaning everything meticulously. Thanks to you, I've now managed to get the door seal out and cleaned it up like new! Thank you!

[@randomrandomizer]

Great video. I’ve now ordered the seal. I replaced my old Simpson after 10 years because the seal started leaking. Had this new Samsung for two years and it starts leaking… call out costs half the washing machine price so thought I’d replace it myself and your clear great video has given me confidence. Hardest part is going to be getting the inner ring back on, but with 2 curious kids with smaller hands, we’ll get it done. Thank you for taking the time to compile this video. Spoke too early, i took the rubber off at the front and removed the top, and though I've got the same looking bubble model as you show, the plastic drum extends in mine all the way to the front, so I ended up having to take the front panel off (two of the screws are behind the controller so that was tricky) but that give good access to the top screw of the inner loop. And here is where the problem started. I realised soon that the screw has been overtightened and that no amount of 90 degree thumb manipulation could get it loose... it's so tight that the thread just gave out (I had to use elbow screwdrivers) and now after a full day of trying I still haven't been able to get the screw off... it's hard as rock and although I have screw drivers that grip (I am using a flat one) it's still impossible to take off.

[@outie555two]

What is your model number?

[@firetrappp]

Nobody shows properly how to get first wire in apart from you, so thanks ever so much, taking time and explaining it all, subscribed to your channel,this is the way of saying thank you

[@outie555two]

Thank you, really appreciate it and glad to have helped

[@paulalbietz9719]

Hey mate. Thanks a lot for the tutorial. It was clear and easy to follow. I used it, and installed the new seal with no fuss. No way I could have done it without your help. As others said. U r a legend! Also, I found $2 in mine as well.

[@outie555two]

Great news Paul and that's the reason I made this video. I had to do the research for myself and thought it would have been very helpful to make this video for others to follow.

[@lukebarnett4626]

Amazing video. I studied this whilst waiting for the part to come. Worked at it today and I'm doing a test wash right now. That inner seal and wire was a pain!!! I think my problem was having the wire too tight when trying to fit it, slowing loosening it and ensuring the inner seal stayed in seemed to finally get it right. Thanks so much for putting this video together!

[@JustinRomaine]

true. I had this problem

[@outie555two]

Glad it was helpful!

[@worapakworaphon6671]

I would like to say thank you! I have done this by my own as my first time and watched your tutorial which is really helpful for people who doesn’t have a skills. Despite the plumber will cost me $200 I only paid for Ebay $55!! Much appreciated

[@galear1]

Thank you so much! I watched your video a few times and changed out my own door seal (while watching the video again!) with 100% success. Couldn't have done it without you. Saved myself a $300 call-out here in Tassie.

[@melaniefarmer358]

Wow didn’t know it cost that much, I’m now even more grateful!

[@marinkolic3574]

Thank you man, you saved me 100 euros and a week without a washing machine while waiting for service.

[@earthwhile]

Thanks Outie555, pearler of an instructional vid, great presentation, cam angles, audio and editing. Love your work :). I couldn't however get the inside seal on using your method, it kept slipping off from another part when getting past half of it on. I checked all the comments to see if anyone else had that problem and had offered a solution, and ironically it was the one negative comment right at the bottom that led me to the solution. I am guessing that perhaps not all seals have the same flexibility (difference between Samsung and aftermarket supplier perhaps?). In any case I ended up figuring out how to remove the front panel (remove console cover first, and DO NOT REMOVE DOOR OR LATCH) and with that out the way it was much easier to get the seal on. I write this in the hope it helps others out if they can't get your method to work. Thanks again for saving me and many others many $$.

[@babylon5mh]

I've got a leaking seal right now and waiting for the part to come. For a quick repair I got an inner tube puncture repair kit with the rubber glue and stuck that on. It did the trick 👍👍

[@outie555two]

That's a great idea for a quick fix. Can't see why it wouldn't stay stuck until your new seal arrives

[@angusleslie9224]

Clearly described, and doesn’t miss key steps and details that other videos on this do. Thank you!

[@outie555two]

Glad it helped!

[@danielblackburn8820]

Jesus man , perfect explanation and for someone who never dares strip an appliance down i followed your guidance and it was just as you described , brilliant video

[@outie555two]

Thanks for believing in me and taking that leap of faith

[@malcolmmcgrath9344]

Ok, yet another do it yourselfer who followed your video. Boy is that a fun job, I must have slid the rubber onto the washing bowl a dozen times and it slid right off 11 times. I was really concerned when I went to stick the wire ring back, but amazingly it dropped right into place. Then there was the outside rubber ring with the springy wire. The rubber wasn't so bad because it could be handled much more easily than the inner seal but the springy ring, goodness is that hard on the fingers, mind you it only took about 4 attempts so I guess it was easier than the inside ring. I did find that if you "carefully" shoved a bit of three by one between the back of the control panel and the tub you could give yourself a bit more room to get your fingers in when fitting the inside seal. I suspect that once you have the knack the inside seal is easy, on the 12th attempt it just seemed to roll straight on without much effort, pity that didn't happen on the first attempt. My last repair was the rubber hose from the soap tank to the inner housing, broke the tank and I had to weld that back together with a hot knife and some hot melt glue. Thanks for the video. My Samsung front loader lives, yet again, and, doesn't leak anymore.

[@harryrose1617]

Brilliant video! So much better than others I tried to follow. Your attention to all the tricky bits meant that I nailed it, and loved the entertaining presentation. Saved me the cost of a callout or worse, a new machine. You’re a legend. Just hoping you’ve got all my other appliances too 😁 👍👍

[@Grelg003]

Echoing so many other comments here but thanks so much for this very clear and thorough tutorial! Last weekend I had a failed attempt following other tutorials so tackled it again this weekend following yours and what do you know! Finished in record time.

[@outie555two]

Great job!

[@knudknollard3309]

Great video. This gave me the confidence to order a new seal for £25 and do the silicone trick so the machine could still be used. I put masking tape either side of the missing bit and filled the gap with silicone. I then formed the tape to the right shape and left it to set. When I removed the tape next day, the seal was so good I felt like leaving it as a permanent repair. However, a couple of weeks later, the bodge started to leak again so I reviewed the video and set to work. The only issues I had was the small hose clip fell off and disappeared under the drum - aghh! Luckily it ended up somewhere near the front of the machine and I was able to retrieve it with a magnet on a stick after I got the seal out. The other issue is the inner drum wire on my later UK machine was released by tightening the screw, not loosening it. This works against a spring that provides the tension to hold the seal in place. Had to remove the soap dispenser to figure that out, but that step isn't necessary if you know. My other tip is to use a quick clamp to hold the drum to the back of the machine, giving you TWO hands to refit the seal! But my advice is just a bit of decoration on top of a very good cake. Well done, and thanks :)

[@melaniewalker3307]

Thanks so much for such clear instructions. Managed it all by myself. Fixed for $65 (cost of seal) instead of goodness knows how much to get a tradie out to replace it. Cheers mate!!

[@maximusvonlemm]

Not all superheroes wear capes!!! ... Great help for the DIY blokes... Mine was leaking cos it had the inside wire loose not sealing well and drainage holes offset .... Cheers!!

[@rikg4911]

Great tutorial! I have two left hands, but I got seal out. The screw on the inside ring was very difficult, had to break the ring. Tomorrow the new seal and ring wil be delivered. If I get this all right and working again I will take a shoey on you. Greez from the Netherlands and thanks for the upload!

[@harleycalvert1961]

I found the inner clamp untightens clockwise. I got this wrong undoing it but with the help of my son who didn't know which way clockwise was we succeeded. Also, putting the inner clamp back on, we just put the seal on first then slipped the clamp over the top. This video was the most helpful, but some other videos contributed to a successful operation too.

[@EJMCX]

My man, just want to say THANK YOU!!!! Used you guidance to fix my machine, was just great. Felt like a professional. If you were in Wellington NZ I would pay you a cold beer!!!!

[@outie555two]

Well one day I might blow in to a bar in windy Wellington and and you'll hear my voice and offer me that beer! Thanks for your comment and so glad it was helpful for you.

[@surfclimbcycle]

Dude I just watched your video to swap out the leaking door seal on my machine. Running a test wash now - so far, so good. Thanks for the great video. But I'm lodging a complaint, since I didn't find two bucks behind my machine when I pulled it out... 🤣 Cheers.

[@outie555two]

Sometimes it takes time to find a decent amount of money in the wash. Sometimes you might find a Bitcoin. Other times it might just be bits.

[@Lucian86]

Putting back the wire is the most difficult part. Currently struggling with it

[@albiejansevanrensburg9996]

I had to attempt it three times before getting it on. The soap thing works, and disconnecting that pipe to give yourself room helps. I had to put on kitchen gloves as my fingertips were raw after the first two attempts.

[@Lucian86]

@@albiejansevanrensburg9996 I made it eventually pushing the wire with a screwdriver

[@valentijnvanderhorst3444]

Thanks, man! Because of this I could almost do this without crying!

[@kennethlawler5243]

Nice tutorial. Added little comments on old drum cleanup before new seal installation were great.

[@UlpaNoyaNoyaEinhorn]

Thank you so much! I was trying to put the seal in, and the wire on, for so long with endless attempts, and the way you did it and showed it was just perfect!!! I managed to do it on the first attempt!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Great video and great help!

[@breach1702]

Whew, took me 3 hours :-) Thanks for the video, it did help, but it's quite a finicky job. My biggest problem was positioning the inner clamp wire... Until I realised that on my model you actually have to turn the screw clockwise to untighten. I also had to remove the front control panel. Anyway, 3 hours and 5 cuts later job done.

[@tommypaton]

A few things not made too clear... The small triangular tab on the seal is there for a reason. It lines up with a mark on the drum to ensure it is in the correct position. The wire on the inner seal area is loosened by screwing in ( clockwise) and not like a jubilee clip ( anti clockwise)

[@outie555two]

Great tips

Greetings from London.

[@caputomaru]

Just one tip , on my machine there is a different type of screw with a much wider thread it needs to be twisted clockwise to be loosened as it strangle the wire in the different direction if turned anticlockwise.

Great instructions. Thanks, following the video it was easy to replace. Remember to use the soap!

[@MajorBunghole]

Thank you. I'm about to do exactly this rather than taking the bottom off and checking those hoses first. After checking the funnel and hose I can't find any moisture or sign of leaks so I suppose I can rule out this particular part being an issue. I have a feeling my leak is coming from one of the hoses down in the bottom right corner at the front as the door seal is also in perfect condition. Hopefully you have a video showing the best way to go about checking and it replacing hoses down there. Turns out the water dispensing tray above the detergent draw was leaking. Sourced a new one and installed it. All is fine now, no more leaks.

[@outie555two]

I'm not sure what your issue actually is, sorry.

[@MajorBunghole]

@@outie555two turns out the water inlet above the detergent tray, (on a front load washing machine) was leaking so I sourced a new one and installed it. Good as new.
