'due to that woman' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'washer was missing' is the wordplay.
'missing' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'washer' with 'was' removed is 'HER'.

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for her that I've seen before include "The woman's" , "She, objectively" , "In the Midlands she" , "The female's" , "That lady" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
