Thank you very much for the excellent photos and the captions. Today I was replacing the door seal on our Candy CMD 106 and I got stuck half way through trying to get the new door seal to go on the right way. Some youtube videos got me started but your top-notch photos saved the day because your machine matches my model almost exactly! If you have any other photo galleries about washing machine repair please post them! Thank you very much once again,

Joe,

Thank you sooo much. Have done this job before on Indiset but Candy is definitely harder (less space to work in). Not finished yet – break for cuppa – fingers crossed!

Thanks for sharing your experience and advice- much appreciated. I have a Bosch Maxx and while it had different fixings,was the same principle.
On the Bosch there is a very strong spring which clips together to make a ring, that sits in a groove and holds the seal to the drum. I found the best thing was to do was clip the spring together first, before trying to roll it into the groove. However, it is so short and needs to be stretched so much, that it takes two people to then push this spring into the groove, or it continually pops out.

Hurrah! The model of my machine wasn’t quite the same, but this was still the most helpful site on the net. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The victory dance after saving the call out charge was a big highlight of the job. Also having another person (the wife) to take over at the point where you are losing it with the rubber folds really helps.
Great advice and despite a few words my mother wouldn’t like, quite straight forward to follow. Pictures particulary useful. Thanks.

Thanks for the instructions, they did the trick for an old Hoover Ecologic.
I struggled for a couple of hours before coming across these fitting details and I had the seal replaced in 20 minutes!
