DU5000XW1 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Took off bottom plate (2 screws) and ran unit to ensure where leak is from....it appears to be the door seal. Pulled out old seal with fingers and replaced door seal, ensuring its properly "fitted"..ran unit, no leaks, put bottom plate back on

Just screwed the new cap in. This PartSelect was AWESOME. So easy. Lighting fast shipping !!!!

It was a very simple repair. I removed the old door seal out of the track and installed the new seal.

This problem was making me NUTS! Every time I pulled the lower rack out, the rack would go off the track, threatening to break every dish, and I would literally have to half-carry the rack to move it in and out. VERY frustrating. No money for a new dishwasher, didn't want to pay for a whole new lower rack ($100). Then I discovered I could simply replace the wheel assemblies for less than $30 and no toold required. Yee-hah! It was literally a SNAP!

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.

pulled the old door seal off and pushed the new seal into place and it works great!
THANK YOU!

Loading and unloading the dishwasher can be a pain if the rollers are not aligned or falling off. This part was easy to install even though it didn't exactly match the original (very old) dishwasher parts.

pulled out the old gasket, aligned and pressed in the new gasket

Checked fill line. No leak. Checked drain hose, found crack in hose. Ordered the part, replaced.

Removed hose clamps on drain to DM and garbage disposal. Replaced hose and tightened clamps. Checked for leaks. Buttoned up faceplate on bottom of DM.

I removed the old rollers. This took a while to figure out how to get the old rollers off. Also it was difficult due to the fact that they had been on the basket for a long time. As soon as I figured out how to take them off and put the new ones on, it was fairly easy. The instructions were non -existent which is why it took a while.

Lowered door and put a weight on it to keep it open. with screwdriver pried out the old gasket. It was simple. looked at the end of the replacement gasket and inserted it into the track with the small hole down. Job Complete. about three minutes total time.

1-2-3 EASIEST JOB I EVER HAD to DO AND THE WIFE IS PROUD OF ME FINALLY.

Piece of cake. Unsnapped the old parts, studied the new ones for a minute to orient myself, and snapped them on. Not quite as simple a twist as the old ones took, but no problem once they were lined up properly. Total time, about 5 minutes or less.

pulled old wheel housing off and replaced with new replacements ones. Straightforward task.

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.
