Tools You Will Need

To successfully complete this installation, you will need the following items:

1. An open-end spanner: This tool is essential for the task. A spanner that is between 11 to 13 mm should be sufficient.
2. Two cable ties: These will be used to secure the spanner to the spring during the installation process.
3. Your door band: This is the main component that you will be installing.

Safety First!

• Unplug your washing machine before starting work.
• Organize screws and parts meticulously to avoid confusion during reassembly.

Step-by-Step Door Seal Band Installation Process

1. Place the open-end spanner on top of the spring. The spanner should loop around the back of it.
2. Pass the spanner through the spring and attach a cable tie and repeat this process on the other side.
3. Once both sides of the spring are secured with the spanner and cable ties, begin to stretch the spring. This action will allow you to place the band accurately on the door seal.
4. Begin from one side, making sure the band fits perfectly into the groove without interfering with the seal.
5. Once the band is in the right place and you're satisfied with its positioning, use a pair of snips to cut off the cable ties.

Congratulations! You've successfully installed the door seal band on your washing machine.
