Are you facing difficulties with your Lixiang washing machine? Is there water leaking or weird noises? Replace the gasket; it could be time. Don't worry! You can replace the gasket yourself and get your washing machine working properly again, with a few tools and a little assistance.
Remove the old gasket – and then pull off the old seal ring from the rim of the drum. Afterward, wipe off any dirt or mold residue so that the new gasket fits freely.
Test the machine — Once you've successfully installed the new gasket, reconnect your washing machine and run a few test cycles to ensure there's no leaking or issues.
The washing machine gasket can, with time, wear down or be damaged. This leads to water leaks and lowers the efficiency of your laundry. When you observe any of those signs, replacing the gasket is essential to prevent more damage to your machine and ensure that it keeps running smoothly.
Noticing water leaks – If you notice water leaking from your washing machine in the middle of the washing cycle, it is a strong indicator that your gasket is worn out, and needs to be replaced.
Mold or mildew – If you see a bad smell or visible mold on the gasket, it has gone bad. In order to keep your washer clean, it's important to swap out the gasket daily.
