Probably took longer to trawl through the hundreds that are available and decide it was right for my machine (which is the F144TD5) than to fit it!! The drain hole at the bottom of the seal is open on this one to connect to the drain pipe on your machine. Arrived on time and easy enough to fit.. try a bit of washing up liquid in the groove, to help it onto the drum flange and take your time to make sure its in place all the way around the drum before replacing the wire clip. that is also easy to lever into place... if you've ever repaired a bike puncture, you can refit it without the special pliers, just a couple of screwdrivers. there are vids on you tube to help you dismantle the machine to get at the job
