How do I fit a door gasket to my Bosch Exxcel 1200 Wasing Machine?

Works for Bosch WFK 2801 as well. Once the front panel is removed it's a lot easier. The bellow/seal is held by a tension wire that uses a torque screw. The Front panel top screw is as stated under the powder tray, there are two screws located on the right the one wanted is the bottom of the two. Take the front of before trying to remove the drum seal it's alot easier to get to the torque screw. After that it's about a half hour job.

Here are the instructions for a WFF1200 they may be similar. You will need various screwdrivers including hex. It will take about 1.5 hours if you are not expreienced, but is pretty easy.

1. OPen door and unclip metal loop from front on gasket - it has a spring on it so can stretch off.
2. Unscrew front of machine (2 screws bottom, 1 at top under powder tray)
3. Inner metal loop is fastened on by a screw on the right side. Loosen this and take off loop.
4. Examine how the gasket is fitted before you remove.
5. Attach new gasket, should slot on securely by its self so you know it is place.
6. Add the metal loop again and tighen screw.
7. Screw front of machine on again
8. Attach gasket to outer with sprung metal loop. like fitting a bike tyre.
9. jackpot your washing again
