How do I replace the door seal on a Hotpoint WF860

Check the door seal.could have small rip/ tear around Hinge or door lock position....

Water can leak if there are gaps on the front door gaskets and must be checked but this will happen only during the cycle and not on the drain cycle end.

Check for water leak with drawer open while washer is operating from beginning of cycle. Your problem could be attributed to one of the following:

* water valve
* water inlet hose
* rubber door seal

Contact an appliance service company.

The band around the door should have a spring a the bottom, use a needle nose plyers at she spring area and strech the spring to get it off.

The inner band has a bolt head or philip head to loosen it.

Hi.

more likely blocked sump hose and coming out soapbox.

Check the program that you have it set on for the wool cycle. Some washers have where you can "add water" in the rinse cycle. If yours has this feature, I would try that also.

Hi, This is a very simple and straight forward job. First turn off the washing machine and remove the plug from the wall and earth the plug on the cabinet of the machine to remove any residule current in the machine. Remove the top of the machine with the screws at the rear of the machine. You can now look in the top? Open the door and take off outer door seal clip ( look and you will see how ) If it is a plastic clip it will have a small cut out in the side for a small screwdriver to be put in a pushed open. It could even be a small spring that is laying in side the small lip of the door seal. You could now attempt the removal of the door seal if you can see the inner clamp to get a long screwdriver onto the screw! If not now remove the soap drawer. Remove screws from around the soap drawer and slide the facia to the right and it should all be off.. Then you can remove the three screws that hold the front on along the top and the same along the bottom edge of the front panel. This then will allow you to take off the front panel and have better access to the door seal. Then once you have replaced the door seal you just need to replace as you took off..
Good luck................

Hi.
You need to remove the front console panel and then the front panel to change the door seal.

Pull the dispenser drawer out and remove the screws.
Slide the console panel to the right and support it while you remove the rfont panel.
Change the seal, and reassemble in reverse order.

Good luck.
