Hole In Seal - Indesit

[pensyl65000]

Hi, I have had my washing machine just under a year (2 days out from guarantee ending) and yesterday I went to the machine and saw rubber

bits all over the washing and seal. A hole has appeared in the seal (see picture). I can't see any leaks but surely this cannot be good. A 20p was in the wash when the stuff came out. I thinking this could be culprit? Indesit said if accidental damage there will be a charge so am thinking not to call out and get someone in to put in a new seal, or a patch to repair. I am based in Nottingham. If anyone can help me find a solution I would be very grateful. Thanks, Sarah

Are you sure that's not the draining hole in the bottom of most washing machine door seals? If it's bang on the 6 O'clock position and there's no leak then it must be. A hole that size where it shouldn't be would result in a flood unless it was quite high up.

must be that. I think I must have noticed it and the rubber bits at the same time. Thanks a lot for your help.
