Video Transcript: How to Replace a Dishwasher Door Seal

IMPORTANT: BEFORE REPLACING A PART IN ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS FIRST UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS.

Open the dishwasher door and remove the bottom tray.

Starting at one of the bottom corners, pull the old seal away from its housing all around the edge of the dishwasher until it has been completely removed.

To fit the new seal, find the middle of the seal and starting at the top by the door catch, insert the seal into its channel all the way around.

The dishwasher is now ready to be plugged in and used. We recommend to test its operation first for any leakage.

Please bear in mind that door seals may vary according to your brand of dishwasher.
