How to Replace a Washing Machine Door Seal (Samsung)

 

Are you having problems with the door seal of your Samsung washing machine? A faulty door seal that has become torn, cracked, or deformed can lead to water leakage and other operational problems. To maintain your washer’s optimal performance, it’s essential that you learn how to replace the door seal. Follow this how-to guide for replacing the door seal on your Samsung washing machine.

Step 1: Unplug the appliance. Unplug the washing machine’s power cord to ensure the safety of you and your machine.

Step 2: Remove the top panel. Remove the top panel of the washing machine to access the interior components. This can be done by loosening the screws on the back and side of the panel and lifting it off.

Step 3: Take out the old seal. Pry off the old door seal, then remove it and inspect the inner surface of the drum for any remaining detached parts. If there are any remaining parts, you need to clean them up before installing the new seal.

Step 4: Clean the drum surface. Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent to thoroughly clean the drum surface. Make sure the surface is dry before proceeding to the next step.

Step 5: Apply sealant. Apply sealant around the perimeter of the inner drum surface to create a seal. This will help prevent water leakage from the door while the new seal is installed.

Step 6: Install the new door seal. Fit the new door seal around the perimeter of the drum so that there are no gaps. Use your fingers to press the seal against the sides of the drum.

Step 7: Put back the top panel. Make sure that all the internal components are firmly attached before replacing the top panel. Secure all the screws and plugs, then plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

Your Samsung washing machine’s door seal has been replaced successfully. With proper maintenance, it should last for many years. Remember, regular cleaning and inspection of the washing machine is essential to keep it running at its best. Follow these instructions to periodically check the door seal and replace it, when necessary.
