Corner Tub Baffle - Lower Left

remove worn baffles. replace with new. no more leaks. be sure to clean area of any residue before installing new baffles.

my 15 year old dishwasher still runs great but suddenly started leaking a bit. After inspecting the gasket I determined it was pretty worn so I removed the 6 or 8 Phillips head screws and separated the door. In addition to the worn gasket the little plastic corners feet in the bottom of the door seat seemed worn. Additionally, I was getting chunks of what looked like black plastic appearing from time-to-time. Once I had the door apart it was apparent that the "plastic" was pieces of the noise dampening stuff that's taped on the plastic door. Over the years it looked like that had melted and slid down the door. So I ordered all of those pieces - it came to something around $30 for all of the pieces. So putting it all back together was not a challenge - I cleaned up everything well including using a paper towel covered tooth pick where the gasket goes, put the gasket in, the little middle piece of the gasket, the black feet in the bottoms of the door, removed all of the melted noise damper and placed the new one on then put the door back together and refastened the 8 screws. We loaded up the dishwasher and started the cycle. I was very disappointed to see that the thing still leaked! Then, my wife said, "ever since we got that new soap it's been leaking". When I looked at the little soap balls carefully I realized it was laundry detergent and not dishwashing soap! No doubt that my dishwasher is much better off after the changes BUT, before you start ordering and disassembling, check the soap to ensure it's actually dishwasher soap ... laundry detergent bubbles will leak!

removed seven screws from the inner panel, not really necessary. spent more time cleaning than replacing the parts. your online video was a great help, I am 75 years old. thanks.

inserted new baffles to replace old deteriorated ones

Removed what was left of the original baffles, made sure the area was clean of any debris and installed the new baffles. Everything worked well!

Remove the bottom rack. Put a block under the front edge of the opened door to keep the pressure off the hinges as I worked. I removed the two screws holding the cover inlet (506) and removed the cover sump (509) and the filter sump (508). I took a screwdriver to pry up the washers that secured the large screen just below the heating element. I removed the standing water with a wet vacuum and cleaned the sump and inlet parts. Removed the right screw that held the supt calrod (112). Removed the two screws that held the filter frame (543) and unscrewed the piston and nut assembly (564) which was completed deteriorated. Installed the new piston and nut and replaced all the pieces removed earlier. Removed the corner tub baffles (26) and replaced with new ones. I did not use the valve body gasket. The dishwasher is working perfectly after multiple uses.

Researched the internet and found parts supplier who had the replacement parts suggested and how to videos. Only difficulty was the old piston & nut assembly which was "frozen tight in place". Had to muscle it out. Rest of repair couldn't have been much easier. Once old parts were replaced, dishes seem to be coming out better. For now this beat spending $$ for a new dishwasher.
