Our Zanussi washing machine is over 10 years old and has recently
started leaving whitish spots or granules on washing, more obvious on
dark items. Investigation suggests that some of the folds in the large
rubber door seal have started to perish and that tiny bits of light-grey
rubber may be responsible. I guess that when it gets even more perished
it may start to leak.

I could probably get a washing-machine-repair-man in to do it, but the
cost is likely to be more than the machine is worth. Apart from the
question of whether a replacement part is still available, is this
likely to be a diy job?

I haven't had to take any washing machine apart for some years, but from
the little I remember they are big, heavy, and a bit of a brute to
dismantle?
