FAQs

Is this a genuine part from the washing machine manufacturer?

No, this is a premium quality compatible replacement part. It is designed to be a functional equivalent to the original part number C00143605.

How often should I clean the door seal?

It is recommended to wipe down the seal after every few washes and perform a more thorough cleaning weekly, especially if you notice any residue or signs of mould.

What is the alternate part number for this gasket?

The alternate part number for this KGA-SUPPLIES A1235 washing machine door seal is C00143605.

Can I use bleach to clean the gasket?

While bleach can remove mould, it can also degrade rubber over time. It's best to use a mild detergent and water or a specialized rubber cleaner. If using bleach, dilute it significantly and rinse thoroughly.

My washing machine model is not listed. Can I still use this seal?

It's crucial to match the part number (C00143605) to your washing machine's requirements. If you are unsure, consult your washing machine's manual or the manufacturer for compatibility confirmation.

How long does this type of gasket typically last?

The lifespan can vary depending on usage frequency, water hardness, and maintenance. However, with proper care, it should provide reliable service for an extended period.

Troubleshooting

Washing machine still leaking after installation

Ensure the gasket is correctly seated and fully secured around the entire drum opening. Check for any debris trapped between the gasket and the machine body. Verify the gasket is the correct part number for your model.

Gasket is difficult to fit

Gently warm the gasket with a hairdryer on a low setting to make it more pliable. Ensure you are aligning it correctly with the mounting points. Do not force the gasket, as this could cause damage.

New gasket has a strong rubber smell

This is normal for new rubber products. Run a few empty hot washes to help dissipate the odor. Ensure good ventilation around the washing machine.

Mould appears quickly on the new gasket

Increase the frequency of cleaning and ensure the door is left ajar between washes to allow for better airflow and drying.
