Mould........
I have exactly the same problem with the door seal going black and on investigation there is black slime under the door seal. I have been running most programs at 30degrees and this is obviously the problem. I have since run boil washes with vinegar and soda crystals but haven't managed to get rid of the sludge.......nothing for it but a new seal. If I get the seal and the retainer is there anything else I need to get to replace the seal? And is this a relatively easy and straightforward operation or is a degree in washing machine maintenance required?

Hi Anon, Your old fitting band should work with this door seal. Our video guide to fitting a washing machine door seal might help give you an idea of what this task involves: http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/washing-machines/a/7/1181/replacing-a-washing-machine-door-seal.html Also - to help the mould from building up we would recommend occasionally doing a wash at higher temperatures. Our limescale and detergent remover should also help to some extent: http://www.espares.co.uk/limescale-detergent-remover
