The dishwasher door wouldn't hold in any position but went all of the way open.
You said the repair was easy and would take around 5 minutes to perform. You were spot on and the instructional video really helped do the job.

Original door seal came out while emptying dishwaher. It was pretty messy so i ordered a new one.
I just followed the directions on the video that was part of the pictures for the door seal. I made sure that the channel was clean and the new seal pressed right in. i wish I had checked this site before I called a repairman, who wanted to charge me over $400 for a new one.
