Fitting Lower Door Seal
I am a bit confused by the video showing how to fit the lower door seal. In the video it says that it is neccesary to take the door off its hinges. It appears that the old door seal (and new replacement) is a complete solid metal unit with rubber seal factory fitted to the metal unit. The person giving the demo removes the complete old unit, discards it, and fits a complete new unit. She refers to this complete unit as the door seal. I have just recieved from you a replacement lower door seal and it is simply the flexible rubber part (not the complete unit shown in the video). My questions are: 1) Do I have the right part? It doesn't look like the part fitted in your video. 2) Do I really need to remove the entire door (as shown in the video)? The part you have sent looks like it would push on (once the old rubber has been pulled off). 3) If I do have the right part, and if I do need to follow the complete procedure inthe video, should I pull the old rubber off the metal lower door seal unit and try to push the new one on to that unit before re-fitting? This step is not shown in the video. P.S. My diswasher is an Electrolux ESL 6114. It appears to be identical to the model shown in the video.

- There is no need to break the door down. The slot where the seal is, is pressed to the inner plate of the door. I found it easier to put both ends of the seal to the slot, and go there to the center.
- My machine is a Zanussi but uses the same seal. I just pulled the old rubber out, cleaned up the seating face the seal closes on and pushed the new rubber into the slot in the bottom of the door. Didn't remove the door. Just make sure you push the rubber in the right way up by noting the way the old one is in the slot.
