Using this water seal is quite straightforward. First, make sure your washing machine is unplugged to avoid any electrical hazards. Then, carefully remove the old seal from the top centre post agitator shaft. Take your time to do this so you don't damage any other parts. Once the old seal is out, clean the area where the new seal will go. This helps the new seal fit better and work more effectively. Now, place the new seal in position. It should fit snugly. Make sure it's aligned correctly so it can do its job properly. When it comes to maintenance, check the seal regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any leaks or the seal looks damaged, it's time to replace it. And remember, if you're ever unsure about anything during the installation or use of this part, don't hesitate to contact us with your washing machine's full model number.
