Excellent video! Too many times, the people who do these types of videos talk about themselves for the first 8 minutes (or to give a reason for doing the video) and then FINALLY get around to addressing the 5-minute repair issue that will then take them 10 minutes to explain. This is straightforward; it addresses the issue from the beginning; and the instructions are easy to follow. Thank you.
You are very welcome. If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
Got it! I initially hired a “handyman” to fix this after the gasket somehow got loose and melted on the heating element of the dishwasher. I didn’t realize he didn’t know how to fix it and he literally laid it at the bottom of the dishwasher where the door and base meet. He asked me if it was like this before, I told him I had no idea. I was hoping he knew. Of course it was only a matter of time before the gasket came in contact with the heating element again. Thankfully I found this video, ordered the part and installed it myself. My husband thinks I bite off more than I can chew but I was determined to fix this and not spend another dime having someone else do it. This video made that possible. Thanks!!
I tried so hard to shove this in there but kept popping back out until i realized the gasket has a DEDICATED slot just underneath the bottom plastic portion of the inside door. If you can stick your head into the dishwasher and look at the inside bottom door, then lift the plastic up a little, you will see like a pocket underneath just for the gasket. This is why there is a notch on the gasket and its always on the right side of the dishwasher. This notch must be fitted into the pocket just right for the entire gasket to fit or else it will pop out when you close the door. Hope this helps someone
Saved me life thankyou
Thank you!!! I was getting so pissed. 😆
This comment deserves to be monetized 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much you would think that these guys would explain that
Thank you, that was it!
I'm confused as to why the Stainless steel panel needed to be removed? I seemed as though it had nothing to do with the gasket?
He did it to loosen the inner door housing not needed but makes it easier.
Totally the best video on how to install the bottom door gasket. No other video really gets into the track that that sucker needs to fit into. Start on the right side, just like this video says. When you lift the inner panel up slightly, you will understand where it fits in along the bottom edge.
+Jen Rossi Glad the video helped you get the dishwasher fixed!
I really appreciate you taking the time to post this. I had a broken dishwasher and nobody to help me fix it. I don't know how to fix things very well, but with your instructions I was able to do this! Felt great!

Thank you very much! Our apartment dishwasher was leaking along the bottom. We got our replacement seal and your video helped us install it with no problem!
Took me three tries to line it up but finally got it. Thanks!
I had been trying to fix this for some time, but could never get the piece to stay in. Now I understand that I did not have it in the right spot. Thanks to your demo and clear instructions, I finally have fixed the darn thing!
This video showed me EXACTLY how to replace these parts on my Whirlpool dw, down to the last detail. Many thanks!
THANK YOU! After 3 years, the seal fell out of the door. It was under warranty so that was nice. About 6 months later, it fell out again. I ordered 3 of them from you guys as backups and replaced the one that fell out (the same way it was installed by the service tech). DIDN'T WORK! Kept falling out. Frustrated last night I quit trying. Found this video from you today and guess what? The tech had installed it upside down and backwards!!! The gasket part was in the door and the grooved part was against the tub seals and floor. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!
Tom Johnson Glad the video helped you figure it out!
Did you ever get your money back for the faulty service call?
This video showed me exactly how to replace this part on my Whirlpool dishwasher, down to the last detail. Many thanks!
Thanks, this is the only video that really shows how that seal fits. Replaced it once 3 months ago, but it kept falling out .. had it backwards and not pushed in far enough. My model is older, so removing the front panel does not expose a visual of the seal, you can still see if it is going in the right slot.
Hey Matt, thanks for putting this video together. Perfect instructions. The hardest part was getting the front panel aligned so that it stayed in place while I put the screws back in.
I have the same problem. Gasket was a breeze but still can't get door panel in!!! Help.
Seems to have solved my problem thank you so much. I would not have found that little slot for it to fit into without this video or disassembling way more of the dishwasher than I needed to 😄
Used this video to replace my dishwasher seal today and boom no leaking. Thank you very much!
Thank you for posting this video! As they say, a picture is worth a 1000 words. Seeing the proper orientation of the gasket, and watching you install it was very helpful.
Depends on the dishwasher. Mine was not so easy. I had to lift the door up enough to expose the channel so that plastic edge could start. It took me a good 5 minutes to get it in and tight.
Perfect video. Step by step how to. Wish there was a video like this for everything that I have to fix and maintain!
Best one on the changing the door seal was the lady of course! Thanks for your help!
+Sherry Grykuliak Awesome, glad the video helped you fix the dishwasher!
This was an awesome video that saved me a ton of money and a huge headache. Thank you so much for make it super simple and easy to follow.
Thank you for this video. Had no idea what to do until I watched this. Super simple. Just need to work with the gasket to make sure you get it into the right spot.
Got it! At first I was pushing it in and it was just posting it through the gap and falling onto the floor but then I spotted that the plastic panel has a cavity that you need to 'post' the double-notched end into. That double
Bless you! We watched your video and fixed the problem after much frustration trying to figure it out ourselves. Thank you.
Glad you got the dishwasher fixed!
This was very helpful, thank you! It took a little time, but I was able to fix my leaky dishwasher with your help (and just a little bit of assistance from my husband lol) My dishwasher is running right now as I type this and NO leaking!
Glad to be able to help with the repair!
This was straightforward and easy to follow! Thank you!
You're welcome. We're here to help!
Great video. Answered my question about the proper orientation of the gasket perfectly. Appreciate it!
Thanks very much for the video, my kid fell on the door and pulled out the bottom door seal. I was able to fix it with your help!
You're welcome. Happy to help!
Thank you! This part had come off of our dishwasher and couldn't tell how it reattached. If I need to replace this or any other part- count on me checking with y'all first.
Glad the video helped you get the dishwasher back together!
I did this yesterday, after noticing a leak the day before. After removing the seal apparatus, I didn't notice any defects or significant wear-just soap scum and mildew. Hence, I just cleaned up the apparatus with soap and water, small brush and my hands to scratch off some of the soap scum. I reinserted, just as described, and so far no new leaks. I'll likely order a replacement part, just in case. The hardest part is putting the front panel back on. Great video nonetheless.
Thank you! It took a few tries but we finally got it in the right position.
You're welcome! Glad we could help!
Matt, I struggled a bit fitting the gasket in, but after few tries I was able to snapped it in. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this awesome instructional D.I.Y. video. I will absolutely keep you guys in mind when any of my friend need parts for their appliances. You guys rock!!!!
thank you. i followed your video and was able to repair my dishwasher.
Awesome, glad the video helped you out!
Worked like a charm thanks!
This was a super helpful video, thanks.
You saved my bacon! Thanks so much for posting this fix!
Good video to find. I was able to do the same.
Though I didnt remove the front panel, and instead looked inside of the holes on the left and right sides, to make sure the seal goes into a slot that is made for it.
replaced the door seal as described and also replaced the door gasket. Now we can get the door to close. Have rechecked both twice.
Thanks very much for the instruct. I'd just add this for anyone else doing it -
If the plastic piece goes into the slot very easily and deeply and moves around easily, then you haven't hit the skinny slot yet. Have to kind of push upwards while pushing inwards into the skinny slot.
Thanks for the tip, hope the video helped you out!
Coincidentally, I had just ran the first wash to test and I'm still getting a leak. It's not as bad as before but is still pretty significant. I'm wondering if I need to take the part back off and clean in there. There was some sandy gunk on the old one. Or maybe I don't have it positioned quite right? Or other issue I'm not familiar with?
I would clean everything up to be sure that is not the issue. Sometimes if the lower spray arm is cracked/split it will shoot water into this area causing leaks. So make sure you check that.
I took off the bottom kick plate so that I could see beneath the unit and the main leak is coming from the motor. So, while that lower door seal was falling apart and I'm sure needed replacement; it was not the main problem. This looks like it could be fairly expensive. Eeeegads ! :-)
Man I was struggling and was about to give up but decided to check the comments and this was exactly my problem! Thanks so much! 3 years later haha
I did this about 15 times until it actually seated. I don't know what I did different but it worked
Thank you your video was extremely helpful
Great video I feel I can do this on my own without asking the hubby. Thanks for the video.
You are very welcome. Good luck with your repair! If there is anything we can help you out with please let us know.
So i purchased this seal from you guys last week and JUST got to replacing it tonight BUT.... the new seal didnt have the middle part of the seal removed more than just a ¼" is this an issue? Also im not 100% sure what the cut in the right end of the seal really does as it didnt slide out of anything and again didnt slide into anything.... hope to hear back from you guys. Thanks again and great video
Thanks for the info!
Lay on your side and look at the bottom door hinge . View the side profile . Then you can see the slot that actually holds the seal in place. The top view is for people who do this for a living. Much easier to see from the side . If not the seal keeps missing the slot
You just saved me! Great video.
Glad the video helped you get the dishwasher fixed!
Thanks for the video! Huge help.
Awesome video! Thanks so much!
You make it sound so easy. When I tried to do it I couldn't open the door once it closed. Then I got the door open but when I was done the seal won't stay in the right place. And now the door won't lock in to close the door and start the washer. I watched many videos and none warned me of any of these things.

Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for the video!
+Don C Glad the video helped you get the dishwasher fixed!
Perfect. Easy repair.
THANK YOU guys very much !! Exactly what I needed....!! 👍
You are very welcome!
I took the front panel off and ran a load to see where the water was leaking. A drip of water was running along a zip tie and bypassing the gutter at the bottom of the door. One drip after another and this makes a nice puddle. So that was easy to fix--no more zip tie. But I was surprised to discover the the amount of water that was dripping from under the metal face plate into the gutter--about 1/2 -3/4 cup. Is this normal? The seals appear to be soft and intact. The lower arm is not cracked.
Very good! Thank you.
Thank you for the video, so clear! My question is, if i have a small leak how do I know whether the issue is the gasket (previous video) or the bottom door seal? Or could it be something else entirely?
I had assumed gasket because I noticed that one side sticks out and the other is in, and then I saw in your video that it's normal for one side to stick out... so now I don't know what the problem is but there's a trickle of water coming out the lower right corner.
Me too!
Very helpful video!
Thank you!
Yeah, that bottom door gasket is not as easy as this looks. My door is spring loaded so it does not just lay down, which actually is a good thing. The door needs to be up at a 20 degree angle to start that plastic piece. Took several minutes just to get the angle right too push that edge into that channel.
Great! Now I can’t get the outer door back on. No other repair video prompted me to remove this outer door.
nice job. exactly what you need.
Glad the video helped you out!
Thx. I would call it more of a CHANNEL than a groove...but once I saw it , it made sense 👍
i have a frigidaire dishwasher the original seal had little seals on the sides when i replaced the new one didnt have them. the dishwasher is leaking pretty good. will splash guards work? thank you
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
Getting the door panel back on was the hard part. And I needed a torx driver for the control panel screws. Annoying. While you're in there, check the door hinge bolts. Mine were loose.
If there is anything we can help you with at all please let us know.
I have the exact same dishwasher as shown on this video, I would like to know if I can change the ss panel for a white panel and if so where can I order.
YOU ARE AWESOME
What about that gap at bottom of gasket letting the water out ?
why do you have to take the front panel off to do that? how do you know if the gasket is in the right way? should it flip forward or backward
Replaced mine and door seal, still the pressure shoots water right over top of seal
Thank you! Is this the standard way to insall on all makes and models? I have a Kenmore Elite 665.1276? I will be looking up the part on your site. thank you
This should give you a good idea of that repair, though it can vary across makes and models.
My dishwasher is a little different than the one in this video but pretty much same concept..the dishwasher was only used twice in 1 year and now leaks from both edges of im assuming this seal..i pulled out the seal but it looks brand new just as it technically is since it was only used twice..the edges of the seal look somewhat folded..any chance those folds could cause the leak?
That is a possibility, Ryan! You could try straightening the seal, or if that can't be done, replacing it with a new one. If you order from us and it doesn't fix your problem, you can return the seal and we'll help you figure out what the leak could be from.
Thanks for the video. However, after checking my dishwasher, I found out that my old door gasket is somehow glued on to the door, since I cannot find any notch to let the new gasket stay in pace. I can also see the trace of glue on my old gasket.
The new gasket I'm going to order looks exact the same as the old one. Have you see any kind of this model that need a glue? I'm pretty sure that I am using the same model as in your video.
And when I tried with my old gasket, it is really easy for me to insert it into the door, and most of the time, it just fell into it ... Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
Are you replacing the door seal, as in the video, or the gasket? I don't believe that you should need glue to install either. However, we would be happy to look up whether you have the correct part for your particular unit based on your model number.

My door has more gap and gasket won't stay. How do I fix this?
I looked at my old one. Looks fine. I try to get it back in. It wont go in right. Just slides right through. After i close door
No go. Watched the video multiple times - it's so easy. New seal seated fine, a little tug confirms this, but as soon as we close the door, seal viewed from the outside of the door is half sticking out. We grab it from the outside, it falls out, and we open the door and go thru the same steps repeatedly. Notch doesn't seem to do anything either. Is it possible there is something broken/warped inside the door where we are slipping the new seal into? It's just not latching onto anything.
Sounds like maybe you are not pushing it on far enough. You could take the inner door liner off so you could turn it over and inspect the back side.
I have the same problem keeps coming out.
I have the same problem. I can push the seal all the way out to the front of the door. There is nothing for it to hook onto.
I'm having the same problem. What the hell does the notch on the right-hand side of the gasket supposed to fit into? I can't see a thing!
jammieag
I had the same problem and I hope this makes sense...with the front panel off, get eye level at the bottom with where the silver ends. You will see a white piece of plastic that’s about 1.5 inches in from the edge of the door and runs the length, and only about a quarter to half inch width. THAT is the lip that the seal need to get tucked under.
Thanks!
You're welcome
Quick question. I replaced my door seal before watching any videos and I didn’t loosen or take out any screws and the old seal came right out and new one went right in. So as long as it doesn’t leak am I good to go ?
If you have a Kenmore Dishwsher, DO NOT remove the door front. Spent 2 hours trying to get it back on. Loosen the bottom screw, remove & replace the seal per the video, tighten the screws.
Thanks for that tip!
why is there a center gap?
Thanks
How can I find the model number, if it has been worn off ? So that I may find the correct parts.
Thanks for the video. I've got the part, but it does not 'seat' in there. It is not tight or hard to put in or remove. It simply slides in and out. Is there something else that needs replacing or adjusting?
Thanks in advance.
Vaughn Vigil It needs to be pushed up into the channel if not it will just fall out. If you need to you can stick your head in the dishwasher and look into the opening, to see the channel.
AppliancePartsPros Finally got it. Thanks!
I never take the outer door off for this repair
Good to know. I came to the comments to see if anyone said the purpose of taking the door panel off.
I see. It's just to double check the alignment of the gasket.
How to order bottom door seal
what's the point of taking off the outside panel? All the work seems to be on the inside.
Thks
Do all dishwashers have a bottom door seal? I checked mine after I leak and I can't find anything that resembles a seal.
+John Smith Most do but not all, you can go to our website and enter your appliance model number to view the parts breakdowns to see if it lists one for your model.
Hi, wondering if anyone can be of help. I have a Frigidaire dishwasher similar to the one in the video, model # FDB520RHC0A. It leaks at the bottom between the door and the body of the dishwasher. I have replaced both the bottom-door seal and the tub gasket without improvement. I am certain that I installed the bottom-door seal correctly. I took the front panel off the door and ran the dishwasher and could see that the leakage was coming from the open space in the middle of the seal that doesn't have a yellow strip. I can easily slip a piece of paper into this opening even with the door fully closed. I don't know if there's another missing piece that I missing or if the dishwasher is just defective? This dishwasher is relatively new - the seal and gasket I replaced did not look used at all. Any idea why it's still leaking???
+Mariya Fiman Did someone put regular dish soap in the dishwasher? This could cause the water to bubble up and cause leaking. Also check out the lower spray arm if its cracked and shooting water out the end at the door area it could cause a leak. You can also post the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem.
What is the gap in the middle of the bottom edge of the door seal for?
I want to know as well! Water is coming through it.
What was the need to take off the front panel?
I'm guessing you found your answer by now, but that way you can see if it's lined up properly when the door is closed.
Why is there a gap on the new gasket
After taking the front cover of the door off, I can see the grove where the gasket needs to fit. However, once the gasket is installed in the grove and the door is closed, it falls right out
I have the same problem. I wish the video would show the installation from the side also. Also, what is the U shape opening on the left for? Does it catch at this location?
@@jonathanpayne7096 Yes! I have the same problem here and CAN'T FIND THE ANSWER!!!!
Mine is a maytag
light's flashing won't
start /let me set/the dishwasher to work?

are all the seals for frigidaire the same?
+Chris Mossel I do not know if they are all the same. You can go to our website and enter your appliance model number to view the parts breakdowns to be sure you get the correct part for your model.
Could you elaborate on where to put it. This video does not show how to do it.
This did not work for me at all. Piece just slipped into crack and held on to nothing. No notch to grab or anything for this gasket to hold to
Replaced seal. When I run the dishwasher without the front panel on, I can see water still coming under seal and from the sides but has not been enough water to overflow onto floor. Anyone else still having water past the seal after replacing. Before I replaced I could see water get past the seal and overflow onto the floor with the front panel off.
It still leaks with the new seal installed. I have videotaped it and water shoots out from several different spots but about 1/3 of previous volume. Almost looks like it is coming from a crack in the black corrugated hose but bit farther up inside the dishwasher behind the door panel. How did you end up fixing?
This video was clear .and won't have any problems doing the installation. I just order parts from ApliancePartsPros.com and will subscribe and recommend your channel. Thanks!
+Jeff Spann Thanks for the order and glad the video helped you out!
Great video. Thanks for saving me $150.00!!
You're welcome!
My GE has NO screws on the door.... now what?
Replaced both bottom door gasket and tub gasket. Leaks worse now. Large surges of water seep through that middle opening in the bottom door gasket and overflow the tray. Please help!
+Jason Block Without knowing what you have, I would suggest posting the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem. forum.appliancepartspros.com/
+Jason Block I got the same problem. There is a .5 cm opening in the bottom of the new gasket I purchased, where there was none in the original one. There is some water coming out of it during the wash cycles, but it gets back in a little over time, as if it was there as a drain purpose. Is this normal?
