how can I fix a door seal to a Zanussi washing machine FJ1295?

remove plastic clamp holding seal to cabinet and peel off the cabinet.push downwards on the seal close to the tub and the seal will come off - its just held by a spring round the periphery.

to fit new seal
lubricate the slot which fits over the tub with washing-up fluid - essential!
starting at the top, press the seal so the flange of the tub enters the slot on the seal. work your way round the using thumbs to force the slot on the tub flange - easy when you have done it once but hard the first time. when slot is on the flange all way round, fit the spring which holds it on.the spring goes into a slot on the outside of the seal. this is quite difficult and you may need another pair of hands.
fit the outside of the seal to the cabinet - this is easy and fit the plastic clamping ring.
test for leaks before using in earnest. use rinse to test as the water level is higher
