Our Miele W460 washing machine has developed a small leak from the bottom of
the door and I suspect the door seal has gone. I've checked for any
obstruction or damage etc but can't see anything so guess it's just the 8
years of use that have taken their toll.

As I've never replaced a seal before can anyone explain how I do this on
this particular model.

Thanks

Most of the door seals just roll on to the cabinet and are removed by
getting your fingernails under the edge of it and peeling back from
the outside (sat in front of machine with door open).
The inner end is secured on to the tub with a long wire clip and
screw. You needto take the top off the machine to access this. Easy
job.
Be sure to accurately reposition the wire clip when reassembling.
New "tub/shell gasket" is expensive.

Don't they have a ten year warranty?

As it failed in August 2011, I fear any explanation may be too late
by now :-).
