Door seal for old Zanussi washing machine?

Plaides

I have an old Zanussi washing machine circa 1988. It is a great machine and still going strong, however the door seal is leaking. I have tried to source a seal from suppliers both locally and on the internet without success. The model of the machine is FL810 but it does not have a modern production code/number which all the suppliers need to reference their databases to find door seal part. So I am stuck.

I am hoping that someone can indicate a compatible part and supplier, or would know a similar Zanussi machine that uses the same door seal that is on suppliers' parts current databases.

The washing machine has been used week in and week out since 1988 without any problem and it would be a great waste to replace it with a new modern and probably inferior quality machine.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'll have a scan through and get back to you tomorrow.

Ok, Espares website showing nothing for FL810.
But showing a seal that covers FL811, FL812, FL814 etc.
I would be 90% sure that this would also cover any FL8--- series from past experience. Wouldn't worry about the 12 digit model code with something this old. It's expensive at 46.59 (pounds) excluding postage.
Its Espares stock number is ES563138.
Try calling Quinnspares in Tullamore tomorrow on 057 9351729 and explain your case. have a visa card at the ready too for payment in case they have it. A Tricity Bendix machine of the same vintage would also use the same seal.
They come across questions like this every day so don't be worried.

Personally, I wouldn't waste too much money on a machine this old as the motor or PCB may pack-in next week, but that's your choice.
Good luck with it, and don't expect your next machine to last 30 years...!!!

Thanks for the information, Washman. I have ordered a door deal for a FL812 which I assume will fit.
