AEG AS-BDEP-216
Model Series: AS-BDEP Series Door Seal
Product Introduction:
The AEG AS-BDEP-216 is a front-loading washing machine door gasket (bellows) manufactured for AEG laundry appliances. It provides the critical seal between the stainless steel drum and the outer door assembly, ensuring zero water leakage during operation and maintaining proper drum pressure.
Detailed content
Technical Specifications:
- Drum-Side Inner Diameter: 460mm
- Outer Diameter (Frame Seat): 505mm
- Fold Configuration: 3-fold accordion bellows
- Material: EPDM synthetic rubber
- Operating Temperature: -25°C to +120°C
- Color: Medium grey
Functional Features:
- Triple-seal lip design for maximum leak prevention
- Embedded anti-bacterial agent to inhibit mold and mildew growth
- Reinforced drum-contact edge for abrasion resistance
- Flexible accordion folds accommodate drum thermal expansion
Performance Parameters:
- Compression Set: ≤ 22% (ISO 815, 70h at 70°C)
- Tensile Strength: ≥ 14 MPa
- Elongation at Break: ≥ 380%
- Hardness: 65 ± 5 Shore A
- Water Tightness: Tested at 1.5 bar pressure — zero leakage
Material Composition:
- Rubber Compound: EPDM with carbon black and silica fillers
- Internal Reinforcement: Woven polyester fabric mesh
- Anti-Microbial Agent: Zinc pyrithione (0.5% by weight)
- Colorant: Iron oxide pigment
Structural Features:
- Circular ring with 3 evenly spaced folds
- Reinforced contact bead along inner circumference
- Smooth outer surface for easy wipe-clean
- Compatible with AEG magnetic door lock system
Working Principle:
When the door is closed, the bellows is compressed between the drum flange and door frame, creating a watertight barrier. The accordion folds flex as the drum rotates and expands thermally. The triple-lip design provides three independent sealing surfaces, ensuring that even partial wear on one lip does not compromise overall seal integrity.
Key Advantages:
- OEM-grade seal performance tested to 1.5 bar pressure
- Anti-microbial formulation prevents odor and black mold
- High elongation accommodates drum movement without tearing
- Long service life with reinforced mesh construction
Applicable Industries:
- Washing machine manufacturing
- Appliance spare parts retail
- Professional repair and maintenance services
Installation Requirements:
- Lubricate inner bead with food-grade silicone grease
- Seat fully into door frame groove — verify 360° contact
- Ensure no folds are twisted or pinched
- Confirm door interlock magnet is properly aligned
Usage Precautions:
- Wipe folds dry after each use to prevent moisture retention
- Inspect monthly for cracks, hardening, or odor
- Never use bleach or solvents on the rubber surface
- Replace immediately if any visible damage or permanent deformation exists
