door seal:hotpoint wt960?

I have a hotpoint WT960 washing machine and this is the second door seal that is going black. I wipe it round afte each use and cannot understand why this happens and if there is anything i can use to remove it. the first door seal was fit by an engineer, which proves pricy. Are these easy enough to fit if i have to relent and buy another new one as the black makes me feel dirty. many thanks

a common problem lots of low temp washes 40' or even less with a powder that contain s NO BLEACH this allow BACTERIA and BLACK MOLD to thrive, once the mold has eaten into rubber no cure, only replacement
do a service wash monthly where no clothes are added a boil wash selected, along with washing powder ,cup neat bleach and some white vinegar when finished wipe around the door seal leave the door open and pull the powder drawer open this will aid VENTILATION problem mold breeds in damp conditions

Audrey,

Have a look at this website www.apart4u.co.uk, it shows you short video clips on how to carry out this sort of repair, then you can decide whether or not you would like to try doing it yourself.

Good Luck
