washing machine help

:p HI,
Ive just taken a peek inside my washing machine and I notice a hole in the bottom of the rubber seal just after the door, i am guessing water is going throught there as I just took the thing off the bottom adn water poured out, can i get the rubber thing replaced and is it expensive,

thanks
Sam B

    This is a fairly straightforward job for an appliance engineer. The part (the door seal) is about £30 and fitting should be a standard call out fee. Not a long or complex job for someone in the know!

    My Hotpoint has 2 little drain holes although they are on the drum side of the rubber and not the door side.
