Dishwasher Door Bottom Seal 5304500204

If water is leaking from your dishwasher, there may be an issue with your door bottom seal. Also known as a gasket, this strip for the bottom of the door helps to seal the gap between the opening of the dishwasher tub and the outer edge of the door. Over time they can deteriorate, and the seal will no longer be watertight. To replace the gasket, you will need to remove the bottom rack from the dishwasher, and then use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the old strip. Then use a flat blade screwdriver to clean any debris that may be lodged into the groove. The new gasket can now be inserted, ensuring that it is even across the bottom of the door. After the new part is installed, keep the dishwasher door shut for several hours to help set and form the new seal.
