how to change door seal ?

on whirlpool awm049
John Holmes, July 2009
Unplug the machine and open the door. Around the rubber rim on the outside of the machine, you will note a wire retainer which connects together via a clip.
Remove this wire, then remove the lid of the washer. Once open you will note at the front inside, the rubber seal and it again held in place by a larger wire retainer, this time, held together by a screwhead or bolt. By loosening this screw/bolt, the wire will loosen and the rubber seal will easily pulled through the front door of the machine.
NOTE: As you remove the seal for the machine; Make a mental note of how it is fitted to the inner and outer part of the machine to avoid confusion when refitting.
Once new seal in place, tighten the inner wire and then re-attach the rim clip wire and "hey presto", Job Done! Good Luck....
