It’s stuck to all the lining of the rubber in the machine, tried loads to remove it and it won’t go?! Any ideas gratefully received

If you mean the flexible ring round the door you can get that replaced, and it sounds like you're going to need to do that.

Scrape as much off as you can. Try using a hairdryer to melt it and wipe with paper towels.

It isn’t hard or expensive to replace the seal on many models if you are good at DIY.

@heldinadream really?! I thought it could be cleaned in some way.

Would a hot wash not melt it off

Probably but it may end up clogging up somewhere more difficult and expensive to fix if there is a lot of it! I would try to get most of it off first.

Always used baking soda and white vinegar to get it off flat surfaces like walls/doors etc. Not sure if you've already tried that or if it would work on something like this. I'd use something like a toothbrush if it's got right into the lining.
