  • Would I be foolish to attempt to change the door seal on a (3 year old) Seimens washing machine? YT videos look a bit complex but we called someone and they started saying the seal is 'unusual' and would be £120, when all the evidence is to the contrary and £60

  • Absolutely no knowledge but a seal going on a fairly new washing machine does seem odd. I'm basing this on only one of my rented houses/flats ever having a new washing machine and none of the old ones leaking. Have you contacted Seimens?

    I watched this:

    Which seems simple enough.

    My two main concerns would be; 1) ripping the new seal (or fucking one of those string things) and 2) cheapo rusted bolts being a pig to remove. So as long as you're prepared to spend the money on two seals and someone to fit them, I'd have a crack.

  • I've changed my Bosch washing machine door seal twice (machine is about 15 years old). It's fairly easy but there are a couple of bits that could go ping if you aren't careful. I believe Siemens and Bosch appliances have a lot in common.
