Color didn't match updated look
First I removed the the rubber sides. Then I slide the replacement panel over the exisiting one. That's it no other tools were needed. I didn't even break a sweat.

The corners of the panel were the screws hold the cover onto the appliance had broken.
When the new part arrived I had to swap over the bottom metal plate that secures the bottom of the cover and also had to swap over the decorative front plate and top edge. The part worked wonderfully the job was very easy. The only thing I forgot to check on was the color of the part. I needed white and I ordered black, but that also was no big deal as the covers from the old part was white and covered it up. I will be using Partselect in the future and would recommend them to friends.

door leaked
removed old seal, placed new seal in place. Used my fingers to push it in place. It didn't work as it still leaks. I've put vaseline on the seal and door and it helps but still leaks. The dishwasher doesn't overfill, so I still have the problem, just not as bad.

Water Seeping From Under/Around The Door
I opened the door and pulled the gasket from around the dishwasher. The gasket does not have any adhesive around it, so it pulled free almost immediately. The new gasket was pressed into place around the door and I was done. It couldn't have been any easier. I suspected it was the gasket when I saw pinched portions that did not return to the original shape and there were no visible cracks in the machine.

leak in dishwasher
This was an easy fix. My husband took out the old gasket and put the new one in. It fit perfectly and no more leak. The part got to us really quickly too and that was nice. No more hand washing the dishes! :)
