    Hey! What’s the difference between the two gaskets. My gasket looks like the one you pulled out (with the center missing a section of the rubber) but it looks like the replacement you bought has a full rubber slip. I’m noticing my leak is coming from dead center - could it be because I have the version where the rubber is not on the center piece? Thanks

    • @TightWadDIY
      @TightWadDIY  2 года назад

      My replacement was the same as my original. Both had the gap.

      @TightWadDIY no worries! We did end up calling a repairman, and it was a damaged intake hose. It helped that i had done some basic repair first, so they knew what it wasn't and could diagnose it faster.

    Frigidaire dish washers are crap. NEVER buy one.
    2 of my family members (different states) each bought the same "affordable" dishwasher at Lowes. Both started leaking around the same time. I have worked on both - replaced gaskets, washers, rubber seals and they STILL leak. There's a white strip around the door with holes YES HOLES (I replaced to no avail!) where water was gushing out like a waterfall.

Dishwasher is leaking from front door...there is a gap at bottom of inside door panel, is it possible the gasket got pushed INSIDE into that gap? I'm at a loss for what to do. Thank you.
