The Causes of Black Marks & Mildew or mould On Washing Machine Door Seal and how to stop this happening
The photograph that is shown in an extreme example is caused by a bacteriological build-up in your machine due to poor cleaning and damp environment over the days that the machine is not being used. It really is that simple and, all too often down to bad maintenance.
What happens is that new type of washing machines use less water to wash and are left for too long without performing a maintenance wash which will allow bacteria to build up in the washing machine which will grow very happily in the warm damp conditions which will eventually lead to what is shown here on the door seal or door rubber as some people call it.
Black mildew marks and mould on a washing machine door seal
Also using solely liquid detergents, liquid tablets, colour only powders (or liquid) as well as most of the “alternative”products like Soapnuts, Ecoballs NOT contain any bleach and will not remove any bacteria effectively. Should you wish to use these alternative products you will also have to add bleach to prevent “greying” of your whites over time as well as other problems.
Whipping the door seal after each wash will help no end leaving the machine door slightly ajar when not in use also massively helps; this allows the seal to dry out and hinders the growth of bacteria inside the washing machine’s drum as well as the door seal.

Easy To Replace Door Seal With the Help of Our Free Video Tutorials.
M-I-T-I-C-O!!!
mission accomplished!
Thank you so much! This saved me from needing a repair man.
OMG you need lots of patience to get the seal back on
Think I have to take front panel off
Great video!! helped a lot:) I just subscribed & liked. Thankyou.
Great stuff. Fitted the seal in about 40 minutes with a little help from
my wife holding the spring, and did it without removing the front panel.
Very helpful video.
Hi I’ve posted our machine making a loud banging on spin the bearings feral
title and weren’t noisy the top drum springs are ok the bottom gas struts
or shock absorbers
Seem dry and ok can’t find anything trapped in drum seal
Any suggestions ???
Hi I have a Aquarius WMF740 That needs a door seal can you help please.
Regards
Neil
Great video thank you. We replaced our drum and all fine but slight leak
from seal as didn’t realise 2 retaining spring seals and front panel
doesn’t come off on our machine. Have subscribed to you on YouTube but
cannot find you on Facebook to like your page?
Thanks so much! We changed the seal in about an hour and everyithing is
working perfectly. I am a girl and must say – amazing stuff!
Great video! My machine’s inner ring is not a spring though, it’s just a
wire. I wonder how I’ll handle that part…
Thanks for this video, it’s incredibly helpful – I’ve just bought you a
beer…. but, can you advise – after the first wash having replaced it,
there appears to be a lot of dust from rubber where it has rubbed on the
drum as it has span round, is this normal initially or an indication that I
have fitted it wrong? It isn’t leaking or anything or making any unusual
noises.
Helped me replace a burst seal on a hotpoint wmxtf942p, not on your list
but looks almost identical to the model on the video. Man was the spring
hard to replace on own with just my fingers. Thanks
