Not a word wasted and amazingly clear production values. So carefully thought out. Simple genius. Sets the standard for this kind of helpful video. Many thanks!
No other video I've seen on YT has been so precise and accurate in explaining how to do this job, none of the others mentioned the 2 grooves the seal has to fit on the inside drum ring! I have a Bosch Logixx 8 washing machine E - Nr. WAS28461GB/07 and this one varies a little bit to your display machine. The Logixx 8 control panel covers 3 screws on the top edge holding the front panel in place apart from the 3 screws in the detergent drawer fascia. The control panel was initially a puzzle to remove as there were no plastic pieces extending on top of the top frame, eventually I found that (looking from the front) the inside top right lug was the one needing to be pushed to release the control panel. Thanks for posting such a useful and helpful video!
WOW - This is a masterclass helpful vidoe - The best of the best video with clear instruction on replacing Ecosilence drive front door seal - Firstly thank you for your amazing and very detailed video - here in Melbourne I have Bosch series 6 with the same opening front door with the inside cable for the lock and the plastic hanging inside ( also the 2 screws at the bottom of the front door which no one else mentioned when you remove the front door) - the cost for the new seal is $75 - and to call someone to replace it its about $250 extra - which you save me ..also the tip for the dishwashing water on the seal itself to make it easy back - and the how to use the tip with the spring - those are the best tips I saw online ..Thank you sir for your help !!!
Wish all TH-cam DIY videos were like this. Brilliantly straightforward and so easy to follow. Definitely need the pick tool. Took me longer trying to use a screwdriver but I got there. Thank you.
I made the change of the seal today and I can tell you this a brilliant description of the working steps. I'm not an English nativ speaker, but with the good video sequences I was able to make it happen in one hour. Not every machinie is similar, but the important parts of mounting and dismounting are the same. I reviewed any couple descriptions of this job on youtube. Your movie is the best. CONGRATULATION
Living in Germany, I watched quite a few German Bosch/Siemens tutorials first. German engineering, German tutorials, makes sense, I thought... But only your video showed me that immensely practical tool "Hook Pick"; didn't know it exists before. Work is so much easier now - thank you!!
Thankyou so much. I’m not a handyman at all and your video instilled confidence that I could do it. You saved me a call out fee of a few hundred dollars. Very clear instructions and the hook pick was a lifesaver.
Thank you so much, such a clear plain English video. We've just moved home and you've easily saved us £200 as the missus was adamant we should buy a new one.
Thank you so much! Been waiting for 6 months after my hubby promised to repair it. Today I was finally done waiting and found your video. 1.5 hours later andI fixed it myself. I wish I had put on my big girl trousers a bit earlier. Now off to find a video on how to repair the tractor, fix the leaky pipes in the downstairs bathroom and mend the roof :) Who knows, maybe I can even learn to fly at this point?! XD
Hey from Dublin, Ireland! By far the best, clearest video of all. Even though my Bosch model is slightly different the instructions you give are perfect.
I’ve done a few door seals and they have always been really difficult. After watching your video it was easy. Never seen advice to use hook pick, this was gold. So much easier. Thank you very much mate.
Thanks so much, really helpful video, I never could have done this on my own. The inner spring clamp was tricky without the hook pick tool, I would advise others to get one before attempting it.
You are the BOMB! I am a 44 year old single parent of 3 beautiful little girls with no money and I just did it all myself from your help... THANKYOU so much for your video🙏
Just did mine today following your video. Hands down the easiest and clearest steel by step instructions ever. Well done mate and thank you so much! Also helps I have the exact model
Lovely, the first how-to video for this type of seal with extra tubing (which is different from other seals that you find much more videos about) Glad I found this!
ditto ! Best video repair on you tube. saved me $150 on repair guy !! thanks! Shame Bosch can't provide the same instructions... make sure you lube the seal people !!
Thanks for the great video! Heating the springs under hot water makes them expand and easier to fit. And if the model has a spring going all the way round for the inner spring, use string tied to the borders of the machine to hold the top and right hand side in place, and the handle of a wooden spoon to keep the left hand side of the spring in its channel so it doesn't jump out.
I'm with Sam below, I owe you a pint. Really clear, straight forward with no surprises or clever arsed comments. Saved me a small fortune in callouts. If anyone watching is unsure about this just follow the instructions, be sure to have the tools (the small hook was priceless!), and give it a go...
Great Video the only thing I will add is it is a great time to inspect the drain to ensure you can undo the cap. While the front is off is a great time to clean it out.
Excellent! I live in the United States, and have a different Bosch model; however, the door seal is identical and the washing machine screws are in the same place. This is JUST what I needed. Many thanks!
Not exactly the same machine as mine, but close enough. A very clear and precise guide. I now feel confident enough to replace a door seal for the first time, even in my late 70's!
Every information is needed is clearly said and nothing more. Very good. I just replaced mine on exact same model. Step by step and screw by screw. Unfortunately, my washing machine stopped after 30 minutes to wash cycle. I wonder what I could have done wrong?
Hi this closely matches my 5 year old Bosch machine sufficiently enough to clearly understand how to change the seal on mine. Very informative and helpful. I have ordered a new seal! Thank you.
Hi so new seal arrived and has been fitted successfully using your video. The only additional step I needed to do was to remove the left hand counter balance weight as I couldn't get sufficient access to fit the seal to the inner rim on that side. I also needed an extra pair of hands(the wife) to help hold the inner spring into the grove , while I pulled it with the pick tool. My machine is a Bosch Varioperfect. 2015 model. Thanks again for posting this.
Thanks for creating this brilliant video. It gave me complete confidence to do this job myself and it went really smoothly. I got the satisfaction of fixing it myself and saved me a lot of cash! Thank you!
Thank you so much!! Great video! I'm in the UK and my Bosh is a different model but the build and the door seal are the same, so this guide worked perfectly for me. This is the definite guide to change the door seal on the Exxcel VarioPerfect 8kg WAQ283S0GB
This video was perfect for replacing the door seal on our 2017 Bosch WAQ28470GB sold in UK. (I do have to say though, the band with spring that came with the new seal for the final door seal was much tighter than shown here and took two of us to get it in place.)
I found this very helpful. The hardest part about the job for me was. Removing the door lock wire from the panel. Also I remove the door. Making it easier to handle the panel. If you don't have a hug to all you can use needle nose vice Grips.
Thank you for your steady and calm support through a difficult time. Your video told us everything we needed to know. You were there patiently while it took us over an hour to get the inner ring clip on. But now the job is done. What a relief; couldn't have done it without you.. Ian and Rosy xxx
God og seriøs video, som man kan lære noget af. Havde selv et problem med, at monteres bælgen på fronten, men efter jeg havde set denne video, lykkedes det. Den lille krog der bruges til at udvide fjederen med, lavede jeg af en gammel syl, som jeg bukkede spidsen på i en skruestik. Stor ros herfra👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much! Really helped. Started trying to put the seal back on with the door on! Your instructions were super clear and saved us a lot of time and £££. I would happily get you a pint or 2 in the pub if they were open.
Great video, although the generic principles of fitting doorseals are fine, but it's knowing things like what screws and where they are located that need removing Also the little tips like lubing the seal before fitting and what tools make fitting easier. The hook tool is a great idea If you don't have a hook tool then you can use some string made into a loop and use a screwdriver in the looped string and that works just as well if you don't have a hook tool
Thank you so much for this video. Helped me immensely with Bosch seal replacement on my washer drier. Absolute legend and the video is straight to the point!!!!
Such a great step by step video. I’ve just changed the entire thing myself using this video. Thank you so much. I saved heaps on hiring someone else but I’ve learned how to do it too. Cheers mate!
Very easy to follow instructions and well explained. Second time using this video to replace seal within 12 months. Is this common to have the seal ripped often?
The seal has ripped twice on my machine-if you’re not careful with making sure no clothes are trapped between glass and door seal when you shut the door it’ll just keep happening. So expensive to have a repairman come out. I’m going to try doing it myself this time. Since your reply was recent can I ask is your machine a newer model? Mines a serie 8 model number WAW28420au/20 and I’m just wondering if the instructions to replace are much the same as in this video please?
Seals mainly tear if the door gets shut on a pice of clothing that’s hanging out and gets pinched between the glass and the seal. Or sharp zippers can slice them as well.
thank you so much for this crystal clear video. It helped so much to replace the seal on our Bosch Series 8 (WAW32541). We just had one more "connection" on the seal to the panel.
Superb, although I have a Bosch IQ500 washer/dryer this guide should be enough I hope to see me through. I have the replacement seal which is slightly different with the dryer inlet. Many thanks.
Thank you for watching. After you replace the seal, make sure to leave the door open when the machine is not in use and once a month run the machine on a hot 90 degree cycle. This will stop the new seal from getting mouldy.
40 y.o. mom of two, did it all by myself, thanks to you my kids can be a little bit prouder of their mom 😄 Thank you so much!

Thank you, Glad you liked the video.
Good to hear of a good outcome

Thank you so much, such a clear plain English video. We've just moved home and you've easily saved us £200 as the missus was adamant we should buy a new one.
By far the best tutorial I’ve seen and great delivery. I have a series 8 but found this beneficial. Great explanation.
I was able to change the door seal by myself thanks to your very helpful video. Thank you. 😁

You're welcome. Thank you for your support. Much appreciated :)
this is the exact model we have got at home and now we are ready to roll with the new seal replacement !!!
Super Video. Einfach erklärt und gute Kameraeinstellungen. Funktioniert alles. Kein Wort zu viel. Vielen Dank für Deine hervorragende Vorarbeit.
You are the BOMB! I am a 44 year old single parent of 3 beautiful little girls with no money and I just did it all myself from your help... THANKYOU so much for your video🙏

Wonderful video. Thank you, managed to swap it pretty quickly. Most difficult thing was the last spring fitment.
Lovely, the first how-to video for this type of seal with extra tubing (which is different from other seals that you find much more videos about) Glad I found this!
ditto ! Best video repair on you tube. saved me $150 on repair guy !! thanks! Shame Bosch can't provide the same instructions... make sure you lube the seal people !!

Sehr hilfreiches Video! Obwohl wir ein anderes Modell von Bosch haben, hat die Anleitung gepasst und der Austausch super funktioniert. Danke!
You're welcome. Good to hear that the video is helpful. Thank you for watching
Thanks mate, just finished this job today, could not have done it without your video
Thank you, this saved me a tech coming out. 45 mins job done!
Thanks for the great video! Heating the springs under hot water makes them expand and easier to fit. And if the model has a spring going all the way round for the inner spring, use string tied to the borders of the machine to hold the top and right hand side in place, and the handle of a wooden spoon to keep the left hand side of the spring in its channel so it doesn't jump out.
Excellent and good pace. Other videos skipped a few key steps while yours seemed to have got them all.
Glad you liked the video. Thank you for watching.
Great video!!!! It still took me 5 hours but I think without this video I would have given up and called someone round!
THANK YOU - definitely best and clearest demonstration - you helped a single Mum do this on her own - bless you.
His enthusiasm is infectious
Most in-depth instruction video for these style washing machines. Will be using this to guide the seal replacement on my washing machine. Thank you
Not a problem. Thanks for watching.
I'm with Sam below, I owe you a pint. Really clear, straight forward with no surprises or clever arsed comments. Saved me a small fortune in callouts. If anyone watching is unsure about this just follow the instructions, be sure to have the tools (the small hook was priceless!), and give it a go...

Just brilliant. You’ve probably just saved me more than $300. Thanks very much mate.
Awesome. Happy that the video was helpful.
Thanks for watching.
Your video helped alot. You saved my day.. thank you a million times…
Thanks a lot. After two weeks I finally managed to get the spring back on:)
Just replaced my door seal with your instructions spot on. Many thanks
Thanks for a really clear and systematic video, I followed your video step by step, no surprises, machine fixed!
Great video. Clear steps easy to follow. Seal replaced successfully and machine up and running again!
Not exactly the same machine as mine, but close enough. A very clear and precise guide. I now feel confident enough to replace a door seal for the first time, even in my late 70's!
Awesome, you should do well.
Good to hear that the video is helpful.
Thank you for watching.
Very good video and precise instructions. Saved my day for a Bosch Series 8 washing machine that is close to that one.
Every information is needed is clearly said and nothing more. Very good. I just replaced mine on exact same model. Step by step and screw by screw. Unfortunately, my washing machine stopped after 30 minutes to wash cycle. I wonder what I could have done wrong?
Different Bosch model... close enough... so hard to figure without this video... so easy to do with this video.
Best tutorial for us. We have seached a lot. But this one is the onlyone that was helpfull. Thank you very much.
Thanks a ton for this. Watched your vid twice, and we now have a fixed washing machine again. Thanks a ton.
That’s awesome. Well done. Good to hear that the video is helpful.
Thank you for watching.
Thank you washing machine terminator. You saved me a lot of money and frustration.

Thanks for watching. Happy the video was helpful.
Thank you for your detailed instructions. Although it wasn’t an easy job your video really helped when the steps were closely followed.
Great video. Couldn’t have fitted my new seal without this!
Thank you so much!! Great video! I'm in the UK and my Bosh is a different model but the build and the door seal are the same, so this guide worked perfectly for me. This is the definite guide to change the door seal on the Exxcel VarioPerfect 8kg WAQ283S0GB
You’re welcome. Glad you liked the video.
Thank you for watching.
Great video, this is not my machine but the explanation of how things are assembled helped me replace the door seal on my Siemens iQ 700
Awesome video. I looked at about 5 different videos and this was by far the best. Thank you!
thank you. priceless video. my model was slightly different but only change was cables and 6mm screws were more t20 bits. thank you and all the best
Dear sir ,
I found this video very helpful , please upload more videos related the same ,Thankyou very much
Honestly ...great video ..saved me 450 bucks cdn ..(2024)
Fantastic useful video. Just follow every step and you are good to go. When replacing the springs, a second pair of hands is handy to have.
My machine differs a bit, but thanks to this video it was a smooth operation! The best instruction video on this topic!
Glad you liked the video.
Thank you for watching.

Great video! Never opened up a washing machine before but this video worked like a charm. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome. Good to hear of a good outcome. Thanks for watching.
I found this very helpful. The hardest part about the job for me was. Removing the door lock wire from the panel. Also I remove the door. Making it easier to handle the panel. If you don't have a hug to all you can use needle nose vice Grips.

Thank you - this video was very clear and I was able to change the door seal myself. I didn't have a hook pick, so I used a metal coat hanger!
You can use a flat head screw driver that fits in the spring hole as well. But the video was amazingly clear.
This video saved my life and $400..❤️
Thanks very much! Now I feel like a real technician😉
Thanks. This was the video that helped with my specific door seal: Bosch WAW32560GB 👍
Thanks for the video. Made the job as easy as it could be
Thank you so much! Really helped. Started trying to put the seal back on with the door on! Your instructions were super clear and saved us a lot of time and £££. I would happily get you a pint or 2 in the pub if they were open.

wonderful best video i ever seen on here to easy to follow and precise. to the point thanks
Great video, although the generic principles of fitting doorseals are fine, but it's knowing things like what screws and where they are located that need removing
Also the little tips like lubing the seal before fitting and what tools make fitting easier.
The hook tool is a great idea
If you don't have a hook tool then you can use some string made into a loop and use a screwdriver in the looped string and that works just as well if you don't have a hook tool
This was spot on for my model. The step by step instructions were super helpful.
Thanks for helping make this complex bit of work so much easier!
Happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Very good video and if you follow the steps mentioned it is very quick and easy to replace the door seal. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. Helped me immensely with Bosch seal replacement on my washer drier. Absolute legend and the video is straight to the point!!!!
You’re welcome. Good to hear that the video is helpful.
Thank you for watching
Thank you, that was super useful! For others, the Bosch WAY32541FG/44 is very similar and this guide was a great help.
The best Video on TH-cam. Thank you dude 👍👍👍
Such a great step by step video. I’ve just changed the entire thing myself using this video. Thank you so much. I saved heaps on hiring someone else but I’ve learned how to do it too. Cheers mate!
Thanks heaps, great explaining how to do this, worked brilliant.
thank you again second time I've used this fantastic tutorial 🎉
Very easy to follow instructions and well explained. Second time using this video to replace seal within 12 months. Is this common to have the seal ripped often?
The seal has ripped twice on my machine-if you’re not careful with making sure no clothes are trapped between glass and door seal when you shut the door it’ll just keep happening. So expensive to have a repairman come out. I’m going to try doing it myself this time. Since your reply was recent can I ask is your machine a newer model? Mines a serie 8 model number WAW28420au/20 and I’m just wondering if the instructions to replace are much the same as in this video please?
Seals mainly tear if the door gets shut on a pice of clothing that’s hanging out and gets pinched between the glass and the seal. Or sharp zippers can slice them as well.
thank you so much for this crystal clear video. It helped so much to replace the seal on our Bosch Series 8 (WAW32541). We just had one more "connection" on the seal to the panel.
You’re welcome. Glad you liked the video.
Thank you for watching
Wonderful stuff. Got the job done without a hitch. Thanks mate
Superb, although I have a Bosch IQ500 washer/dryer this guide should be enough I hope to see me through. I have the replacement seal which is slightly different with the dryer inlet. Many thanks.
Great video thanks👍we can't get any trades peoples in at the moment so really helped me with replacing myself for the first time. Cheers.
You’re welcome. Good to hear that the video is helpful.
Thank you for watching
Good video. Now I can tackle this job without learning as I go.
Thanks so much for this video so helpful and straight to the point
Great instructional video for seal replacement
Thank you, you saved us a good amount of money! Great video
You’re welcome.
Good to hear that the video is helpful.
Thank you for watching
Great video thanks! Also worked for a Bosch Exxcel 8 with only a few minor differences
Fantastic video! Great walkthrough of the steps!
Thank you for watching. Glad you liked the video.
Great video thanks for your time. I noticed my seal was getting mouldy as so probably time for a replacement. Looks straight forward enough.
Thank you for watching.
After you replace the seal, make sure to leave the door open when the machine is not in use and once a month run the machine on a hot 90 degree cycle. This will stop the new seal from getting mouldy.
