Object found on door seal is unlikely to be from Bosch washing machine

The problem

A 3-year-old Bosch Titan Edition Eco Silence Drive washing machine was opened and an unidentified item was found sitting on the door seal. The concern was whether it had fallen off from inside the machine.

Likely cause

The accepted reply states there is no known washer or drum part that would normally fall off and resemble the item shown. The object was described as looking much older than the washing machine, so it was most likely an external item rather than a machine component.

What fixed it

No repair was identified or confirmed. Based on the accepted response, the object was not thought to be part of the washing machine. The exact source of the item was not confirmed.

Checks to try

• Object was found sitting on the door seal
• Accepted reply stated there was no known part from the drum that would fall off like that
• Accepted reply noted the item appeared much older than the 3-year-old machine
