After three videos I found yours that didn’t have an annoying computer voice . Thanks for that and easily understood instructions
Perfect! I did mine thanks to your video which is the best video I found here for the door seal replacement. Worked fine and no leaks! Thank you.
Fixed my leaking Siemens dishwasher with this video. Was exactly the same way to do it. Thanks allot for this helpfull video!
Thanks for the terrific video! Really great work. And yes, I bought my replacement part from you because of these terrific videos.
Great video for home repairs. Fixed my leaky dishwasher in a half hour.
Thank you SO much!! We were able to put things back together the way they belong with a minimum of fuss. You saved my day!!
Check for clogged jets in your lower sprayer arm (the one in the bottom of the dishwasher) before replacing the door seal. I followed a comment on the AppliancePartsPro website for the door seal and it fixed my door leak without replacing any parts (i.e. a seal). I checked the jets by removing the lower spray arm (easy to do, just pull it out) and placing the inlet hole in the center of the arm under a running tap...water will come out of the jets partially or not at all. Keep the water running thru the inlet hole and knock the arm against the sink basin to dislodge blockages (coffee granules in my case). I ended up knocking the arm about 10 times to fully dislodge everything.
Fantastic. I did it myself (with your help !). you helped someone in Montreal Canada! Merci Matt.
Take out the machine to change a sealer. Is Bosch intensionally making this complicated?
I couldn’t pull my dishwasher out. It was installed too tight. So I improvised and probed the door hinges open with screwdriver and replaced the seal without releasing the hinges from the back. Very challenging but I did it!!
I just used this video to replace the door seal... This video is amazing.
Thanks for the useful video. Followed the instructions and replaced seal on my own. Easy job.
Outstanding & easy to understand instructions that worked perfectly! Thanks for the video.
Thank you, it has been a very useful video. My sealing problem is over in my machine.
Wear gloves as he does--lots of sharp edges. Bring rags and (I used) mineral spirits to clean up the greasy mega-mess around the old seal before installing the new one. My SHU4016UC has a full side panel requiring removal to get to the hinges making the repair much more involved. Especially note: All the other screws on the door stay in place; only the 4 hinge screws and 6 panel screws are removed---others are for the timer, etc. Before replacing the outer panel recheck the seal to see that the lip has not come loose from the groove during the re-hinge-hookup acrobatics (and it WILL be acrobatics!). In replacing the front panel look up behind the controls to make certain no wires are caught up it the clips that hold the panel. 8:17 "push the bottom in so it goes over the spacers" will be a difficult step as the spacers are a good deal wider than the panel; you don't want to 'bang' it in and dent your panel, so have your gloves on to minimize cuts and scrapes and 'pack a lunch' for this step.
If there is anything we can help you with please let us know.
Great video-- my dishwasher is now running-- i,m sooo happy
Great video helped me out a lot
Thank You! It worked fine on my 20+ years old Bosch SGS4932EP/05 (free standing model but very similar).
Thanks a lot for this video.. it was a life saviour
Fantástico video, resolvi o meu problema e não sobraram peças, a máquina ficou impecável!

Ottimo video, senza di esso avrei perso una giornata. Grazie!
Thanks for posting. Any chance you guys have a video for a Samsung dishwasher?
BRAVO, sei stato la mia salvezza. Grazie
Thanks
You are welcome!
Excellent instructional video!
Thanks for your feedback! Glad the video helped you out.
Just bought the part from you and did the repair. Quite easy. Thanks for this video. Quick Q. Is it normal for water to get under the new lower seal in the corners of the tub? I can see a small amount of suds in both corners of the pan, I’m running it without the front panel. Thanks. Ps other 72” seal is new also
Hello. I have got the same issue and still testing without the panel. Are you having any problems with that?
@@atfnik5348 I spent at least two weeks playing with the amount of water getting to that seal. You know what the issue was in the end? One of the dishwasher arms (that rotate and spray water) had a small split in it. That allows too much water to get into the machine in the wrong place and floods the door seal causing a leak.
So before you buy a door seal, take off both the lower and upper arm (They should snap off) and flow water into them or inspect them carefully around the seams for split plastic. Since replacing the arm it has been fine, and I kept the extra lower seal so now I have a spare.
@@Samlol23_drrich Thanks for the reply. İ will check those today. While watching seal replacement videos, i saw some guys having the same issue. One of them used soldering iron to stick that piece :) if my case is not the spray arms, then it's definitely the seal itself that causes the leak. Did it overflow and drip outside the seal while testing?
@@atfnik5348 yes, it did overflow while testing. It totally has to do with the water level in the machine. Make sure you raise the front legs up so the machine is either completely level when testing, or better yet pitched back slightly. If there is too much water in there its going to overflow no matter how well you place and attach the seal. I used silicone thinking it would block the extra water. If you don't have a split arm, I would bet the machine is leaning forward. Even tipped back is harmless.
Good luck
@@Samlol23_drrich thank you so much for the help. While attaching the seal i also removed the legs and leg holders to clean and pulled the legs up to keep the machine kind of tilted just like you said. Thanks again.
Hello. I renewed my seal but I can still see some water on the new seal. Is this normal?
Valid for siemens too
My Bosh is different it seems 😳 My plastic flap is completely detached and it was placed just on the bottom front. No idea what I should do.
Cool!
Solved the problem! Thanks
You're welcome! Glad we could help.
Can this be replaced without detaching the hinge tensioner/spring?
planetmikeus - I'm guessing you have to unhook the hinge tensioners because if you don't, once you take the door off the hinges to take the old gasket out and seat the new gasket in, those hinges will snap right up into the closed position because there won't be the weight of the door counter+balancing them any longer.
And if the hinges are in the up/closed mode, you're not going to be able to get the door - and new seal attachment - screwed back into the hinges.
Thanks it s very halp me
I have now replaced both the upper and lower door seals and my washer still leaks. Any ideas???
Are the jets in your lower spray arm clogged? If they are then it can create a "wave" that pushes the water into the tray over the drying inlet on the door. I cleaned my lower sprayer jets and found loads of coffee granules. After cleaning it my leak has stopped (without replacing the door seal).
My original old gasket is covered by some grease. Should I apply plumber grease for the new one? Thanks
No probably the grease come from washing rests

What fastener is used
This seal is held on with the bottom screw that holds the inner door panel on.
@@appliancepartspros no I was trying to find the size and type of fastener used for the toe kick ordered one and didn't come with screws
If it's the screw for the toe kick that you need, that is part number 00176121.
