The model is IWE 81281 but there isn't a catch shown for that number (there are no letters after it) How difficult would it be to fit and how much dismantling is needed?

  • I have watched this video and it is not the same machine, there is no retaining ring and the interlock does not have external securing screws holding it in place! By Neil Sergeant - ORMSKIRK - 20 August 2018

    Check the motor brushes are not worn out as this can be a common problem.

    The seal is fitted to the front panel with a retaining band Stock Number: ES831870. Carefully look around the lip of the seal and you should locate the tension spring, you can then use a small screwdriver to 'catch' the spring and start to pull it over the seal lip to release it.
