Any one can HELP me please? I have an old gorenje pacific front loading washing machine PS435 W-14 AHN, how do I replace the worn out door seal please? The machine washes beautifully, but Gorenje is no longer imported into Australia. I managed to get a spare seal.

Hi, Its real easy, just take off the lid, unscrew the wire clamp. peel off the seal noting the position of the flap. put on the replacement, make sure it is clipped in all the way around, then just replace the wire clamp and the lid. You need thin arms to fit the seal to the bottom of the drum, you have to work from the inside, but it is not a hard job. My machine ps435 is now 30 years old, I have replaced the seal about 3 times. In Melbourne you can get the spares from Stokes in Ringwood. Easy, don't pay a technician.

Depending on where you live, ring Electrolux service. they bought out Email, which in turn bought Gorenje way back in September 1994. I know this as i was there for their last 2 & 1/2 years of their existence working in the spare parts section.

It is a mongrel of a job, as you MUST get all of the little folds in the right spots otherwise it will leak. i had it done about 2months ago and they charged me about $180 for a new GENUINE seal + labour.

It really depends, as i said, where you live (capital city or suburbs or outside metro area). Gorenje had a few hundred service agents, just ask your local appliance repair mob if they know Gorenje's. If they're any good it'll take about 30-40 mins start to finish.
P.S. Just to be pedantic, since i heard so many ways of saying Gorenje you say 'Gor-ren-ya' (I'm half Slovenian so i could pronounce it easy.)
