Had to take the rubber seal off (inbetween the drum and the door) but can't fit it back on properly. Also a circular spring came off when I took the rubber seal off, don't know where it goes. Tried what I thought was right but the washing machine still leaks.
The seal comes in a shrunken size use a hair dryer to stretch it on to the door lip
Testimonial: "The seal is already attached to the door lip, it's the part nearest the drum that I can't get it to stay on. Also still have no idea where this circular spring goes"

getting it off is not the problem (just find the clip at the bottom of the seal and let it off and you can pull the seal out....getting it or a new one back on is the real problem...that I am looking for help on!

the only way to fit door rubber to tub on a zanussi is to use washing up liquid it takes two mins

This is quite tricky, first take off the retaining ring on the front door port, remove the seal from this rim. The back of the seal is held by a spring band. the best way to remove it is to get a good grip on the seal at the top then lift and pull (thats the easy bit), to put the new one on i always lubricate the recess on the seal with washing-up liquid and feed the seal on from the bottom with one hand whilst following it around with the other hand to stop it coming off. Once it is fully on it can then be rotated easily into the correct position. Getting the spring back on will require an extra pair of hands for obvious reasons.
Good luck with it and keep the swear box handy lol.
Thank you for using fixya

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.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
