Dirt and grime always building up around seal inside door

Water or dirt in fuel ?

Check door seal intact and sealing ok, clean rear compressor section of all dust/ dirt/ fluff and check drain hole on rear of fridge.as water should not pool inside but run away outside rear. Lift/ adjust door to make sure it closes properly.

Orings are similar to piston rings and seals of car engine. They keep pressure /compression at peak level. Carbon buildup dirt/ grime tend to cut orings (fine scratches on orings and metal where orings make contact can be seen with maginfy glass). Air powered nailers have same problem. Air carries in dirt grime and carbon deposits leaving/ migrating from air compressir piston/cylinder/heads/discharge tube and dirt that enters hose from tool box. Debris and water cut orings lowering efficiency. Any urethaine parts inside gun will fail over time using the gun or not. Urethaine is affected by heat, water, certain types of oil. Fuel for impusle will lose power when canisters are kept in hot tool box. Always check expire date on fuel/ buy newest stock for best results.

sounds like a bad door seal. check for debris around the door seal. that's the rubber seal going around the inside of the door.

One (or possibly both) of your door seals needsreplacing. It's more likely to be the lower door seal as these usually go first. This seal isn't visible like the goalpost seal that runs around the sides and top of the wash compartment. If you open the door, you can feel this rubber seal when you run your fingers along the bottom of the door on the inside. Be careful though, as there is often a build up of dirt down there!

I don't advise buying any parts until you are certain of where the leak is coming from. Identifying the source of the leak (and therefore which seal to replace) is relatively easy but the best way is to run a wash cycle with the front panel of the door removed. It's quite easy to remove, but you might need a T20 T-Star screwdriver to remove it. Sorry, I can't remember exactly what the fixings are on this model.

A simpler - but not always accurate method - is to check by look and feel. If the water seems to be coming from the sides of the door panel at the bottom when you run a wash cycle, it's the "goalpost" seal that needs replacing. These are easy to obtain and replace - they simply push into a slot.

To test the bottom door seal, run any wash cycle and, when it's finished, stand to the side of the washer and open the door. There is a white plastic panel under the door. Have a feel around on top of this. If it's wet you probably need a new lower door seal. These are much harder to replace as it involves removing the door panel and partially releasing the hinges. I don't recommend this as a DIY fix unless you are competent, confident and have good instructions - i.e a service manual!

Whichever seal you need, they cost around $30 / £20 each.

Please rate this solution if you find it helpful. Thanks.

It's probably coming from the sunroof drains being clogged.

Open the front door, look closely, you will see a rubber tube sticking out 1 inch. Cut off the tips so the tube is wide open.

your best bet is to replace it. here is what you do:

Look in your owner's manual or study the current seal to see how it is attached. If it is attached with bands, there will be one or more spaced around the seal. Remove them following manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2 Pull the seal from the door rim. For seals that are attached with sealant, you may need to slide a finger under the end and push it up while you pull it free with the other hand.

Step 3 Wash the area thoroughly with a degreasing cleanser. This will remove all traces of dirt, grime and old sealant around the area.

Step 4 Slide the open end of the new seal onto the door frame. Make sure the fit is snug and it is completely slid into place.

Step 5 Glue around the join with the sealant or reattach the bands. Allow sealant to dry for at least two hours before running the machine.

Door gasket defective, check for proper seal around door (gasket should be flush against frame when door closed). Also other possible cause is that when you close the door to the ref, the freezer pops open just enough to cause ice to build up around door. Check drain plug inside evap area of freezer, and repalce door gaskets.

The black grime is mold. Once it is set into the rubber it is nearly impossible to remove. Bleach would have been my suggestion but since you've already tried that, replacing the bellows (door seal) is your next option. In the future, when the machine is not in use try keeping the door slightly open for any standing moisture to evaporate.
