Many Thanks for this Info. I have wrestled with the seal on my Hoover HNWL6136 for 2 hours trying to get the seal on the wrong way after changing the bearings. After finding your blog I got the seal on in ten minutes.
I can’t thank you enough you have saved the day.

Hi Scott

This set of instructions enabled me to change the seal on my Hoover HW5213MUK washer dryer, also with a welded on front. The advice about the screwdriver working the socket in the restricted space when removing the metal clipband was spot on… and that was definitely the worst bit of the job. But all done, drip free and not expensive… thanks a lot.

Hello,

Thank you so much for your time taken to write a clear dialog of what to do and think of when replacing a door seal. I had given up until my girlfriend found your blog.

5th time lucky the seal stayed in place, thanks to you

I have removed the three screws at the back of my Hoover AB 130 – 001 and also the plastic trim but I can’t slide the wood/melamine top out the back. Can someone provide some assistance please?

Thank you – I’ve just replaced the rubber seal on my Hoover Six Express 1200 – which is a little different to the model you show in your step-by-step pics, but the essentials are the same. It was very straightforward and simple – and obviously a lot cheaper than getting a repair man out or buying a new machine. Thanks again – I’m thrilled!

Hoover washer/dryer HNWL3136S

I read the UK Whitegoods guide to changing the door seal, which said Hoover washer/dryers were a nightmare so almost called in an engineer. Luckily I found your blog, followed the instructions/photos and it was fairly easy. The most difficult thing was holding the nut to unscrew the drum clamp,not much space to work – they should have made it a captive nut!
Many thanks for your help, much appreciated
