Hotpoint Aquarius door leak - simple to sort?

[mercury66]

Hi,

My Aquarius 1200 Ultima (a few yrs old) has a minor, but increasing leakage problem when a cycle first starts. Water runs down from the bottom of the door & frothy foam seems to exit from bottom and sides of door.

Is this likely to be a a door seal problem - sorted if I buy and fit new door inner and outer seals - or could something else be causing this?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks.

First try giving the inside of the glass a good clean as any soap residue can prevent the seal from doing its job.
