DDW361RAW-PDDW361RAW0 Amana Dishwasher - Instructions

The gasket arrived without any instructions so the first step was to search the internet and find out how to repace the gasket.
Once the instructions were found it was easy simply use some type of tool (screwdriver in my case), or your fingers to pry the gasket from the track and pull it completely out.
Next I cleaned the track with a damp cloth.
Finally I pushed the new gasket back into the track and tested the seal.

Remove end cap of guide. Remove broken roller. Install new roller, clip in place, replace end cap. easy peasy.

Thanks for the instructions. It helped. However, there should be more attention spent with the seal at each end. On one side it is evident that the seal should be flush to the bottom of the door. However, the right side seems to indicate that the excess seal should be left hanging out. That is what I did the previous time I replaced the seal. Soon it started leaking. This time I made both sides of the seal flush with the bottom of the door. Also the first time I installed the seal, it was too short. I had to reset and slightly pull the seal to increase length.

My dishwasher had set broken and unused for about six years. I replaced the small motor that opens the door to the dish detergent. But when I fired the old gal up, she started leaking. The door gasket had gotten too old. I pulled it out and used some lime-away and a toothbrush to clean all around the seal area - especially at the bottom. It took only a brief moment to install the new seal. Upon testing it, I noticed a very small leak. It went away after a few days as the door and seal got used to each other.

I removed the old door gasket and replaced it with the new one.

Removed the inside door panel, Removed the two wires and removed the activator. Installed the new activator in reverse. Problem: the new activator did not work. used external leads and applied 125 Volts to activator leads and still did not work. I ordered a replacement activator, order #1846925 which also did not work. The original and both replacement activators have a measured resistance of about 2 KOhms. I disassembled the original unit and found the plunger to be stuck in the coil. I suspect the coil form has aged and is the reason none of he units work.

The replacement was easy. The parts fit fine. I had to figure out how they fit. After a couple of tries, I got them positioned right. A diagram might have helped a little. They were reasonably priced. The diswasher is good for another 5 years.

I went at it wrong to start. Then I figured out creating the proper angle that mirrored the normal operation was the trick. I tied a string on to the spring with the plastic part attached then the other end to a hook. I pulled the hook at the correct angle & the plastic part was lifted to its slot. Pushed it down into the slot & cut off the string.
Took about 2 minutes that way.

After watching your video my repairs were a breeze.

The repair was not successful. Once the dishwash door panels were removed (quite easy), I found that instead of separate wax motors for the detergent and "sparkling" liquid dispensers, the KitchenAid "Whisper" Quiet Ultima model has a sealed unit with all the motors inside. Repair would require the replacement of the sealed dispenser unit ($168). Hence, the wax motors in their original seal packaging were returned to the PartSelect warehouse.

Had to find replacement screws. Everything fit . 50% cheaper than sears.

simply pulled the old gasket out of the channel and pushed the new gasket into the channel.

I replaced the door gasket. Very simple. Pulled out the old and inserted the new. This seemed to be the most likely and most easily fixable solution, but, unfortunately, the leak continues. I will now have to disassemble the door to look for a different solution.

Pulled out the old door gasket, cleaned the space before pressing in the new gasket. Super easy repair!

You need a torq screwdriver for this repair.

I removed the 7 torq screws from the inside of the door, removed the 2 wires to the wax motor; replaced the wax motor; rewired it and then screwed the door back on. I'm not very mechanical but this was easy and saved a lot of money over having a repairman come out.
