When the door seal goes wavy it's usually some chemical reaction from something being put in the machine. It used to be very common when people mostly used cotton nappies and used a product called Nappysan. It used to attack the rubber. Are you using anything other than normal detergent and fabric softener? Are you washing any laundry that could have something on them that is reacting on the rubber seal?
