Well done - Thanks for posting.
You're welcome!
Whirlpool dishwasher wasn't cleaning. I replaced the pump and motor. Then the door leaked. I replaced the gasket and the corner leaks stopped but a large leak developed in the bottom middle of the door. I figured it was the lower door seal or the lower spray arm was generating waves. Rather than purchasing more parts, I removed the lower door seal. I noticed it was designed with numerous perforations which can allow water to leak out of the cabinet into the door and out onto the floor. I repaired the problem with FLEX SEAL. I sealed the perforations, the edge of the seal in contact with the drip pan in the door and the edge of the door that contacts the seal. I paid close attention to the ends of the seal inside the door. NO MORE LEAKS OR PARTS PURCHASES.
Hi, I agree - great video. Short, sweet and easy to follow. That's the good news. The bad news is that I installed the new part exactly per the instructions but I am still getting water in the door. We've already replaced the exterior door seal. The water appears to be entering through the bottom of the door. I can feel the insulation in there getting wet. I was so sure this was the solution. Any ideas?
What is the model number of your appliance?
@@appliancepartspros thanks! KUDS30FXSS5. Looks almost identical to the one in the video except I think I have a few more control options.
Are you missing an screws that secures the panels together or do you see any gaps at all?
No, everything looked as expected. I was especially careful in reinstalling the new part. To the point of other commenters below, the whole setup with the bottom seal feels a little suspect - there is no rubber gasket. But this setup worked for some 10 years before we have had this problem which we seem unable to solve. Any other ideas? Seems a shame to have to replace the unit over this. It washes the dishes perfectly fine.@@appliancepartspros
Any further ideas?
All kinds of junk gets stuck down inside the lower part of my Kitchen Aid Door. would replacing the part in this video likely help with that?
It's an excellent tutorial and my door seal replacement went very smoothly. I had already replaced the gasket which caused the Whirlpool to leak "less", before replacing the bottom door seal. With both seals replaced, it still leaks and yes the leak is coming from the door. Looks like I'm in the market for another dishwasher. And with this one being only a year old, I guarantee whatever I buy next won't be a Whirlpool
I’m getting the same thing. Did you ever figure it out? It looks like a design flaw (no rubber seal on the bottom) but I’m wondering why it took two years before the flaw presented itself.
@@CobraABC mine lasted 8 years maytag looks like same bottom seal also you want to make sure door side rubber seals are clean
@@eddyhaze8239 I have a 4 yr old Whirlpool (WTD750) both btm and door seal replaced and leaks worse than ever... whirlpool is junk with zero support available, I'm going off shore next !
@@gonitro1125 I hear you what sucks is there is nothing wrong with it it just leaks I cleaned mine and got a few more months out of it but now can't stop the leak , seams like everything is made to only last a short time so you can buy another just like my fridge compressor are junk so I have to replace every couple years
Great question@@CobraABC . I am experiencing the exact same sequence of events as @jimcarlton1299. My unit is 12 years old so I figured a repair was fair game but I simply cannot fix this leak. I thought I was a $10 part from a $1000 replacement but no luck. Did anyone ever solve this?
Excellent explanation. Very clear. Gave us the confidence to safely do this job. Thank you!
Glad the video helped you get the dishwasher fixed!
Watched this on my way to this exact job. You saved my life! Thank you
Thanks for the instruction. Ordered the seal part from your store and received it in a couple of days. Less expensive than Amazon. Amazing
Same here. Significantly less expensive than other part suppliers as well. Should be installed tomorrow
Hi Simon, Thanks for an excellent video. I have a LG dishwasher LDF7774ST and need your help in replacing its lower door seal, similar to your this video? Many thanks.
This video should give you the general idea on how to replace that seal. If you have any issues please let us know.
You will need a magnetic 3/16 driver, I can't see any other way to get it done. I put a magnet on my driver and was able to get by but an actual magnetized driver would have saved me 15 minutes of fishing screws out which are covered by the seal you are installing. Issue ended up being my spray arm, not the seals but probably didn't hurt to replace them after 7 years.
Thanks for the tip!
thank you!
Thanks for posting this. It was a tad harder than you showed, IE seeing the screw holes and lining up the replacement part was a bit tricky but it was not too difficult.
I am ordering the part on 7/24/2022 and we'll see how this goes. My door is slightly different after removing the outer panel but I can see how to adjust.
Do you know how to remove the door from the control pad with the wdt970sahz0 model? I removed all the screws but it seems attached to the control pad area and wouldn't lift away.
Having same issue-did you ever figure it out
@@adambrewer6677 No. I ended up buying a new dishwasher...
This is an excellent video. As Susan said "it gave us the confidence to do this job". And, it was a success...Thank-you!!!
Had anyone seen my 1/4 driver bit? I JUST had it.
Right next to my 3/16th magnetic socket...for the rusted-out non stainless steel sheet metal screws holding the piece in place. (3 of 5 rusted out) Thank goodness for this video though. And, for any about to do the job, do not minimize the importance of the tape to hold the part in place while attaching the screws.
Unfortunately, I did not order the part from AppliancePartsPros but will know better next time an appliance needs attention as this video saved me a ton of probable lost time. Hope my leak is fixed and best to all. Well done.
@@at82312 you gotta wonder how those screws got rusty... is there that much moisture essentially on the outside of the door?????
Thank You, it helped me replace my seal.
You are very welcome.
Thanks you
Thank you!!!
I replace the main seal around the door, still leaks from both the bottom right and left corners. Could it be this bottom seal?
That definitely sounds like a possibility at this point.
I’m having the same issue, and someone else in the comments did too. Not sure why it was designed without a rubber gasket at the bottom. I just noticed leaking after two years of no issues. Not sure why, but suddenly water is spilling out. It looks like it just wasn’t designed well. I replaced this part per the tutorial and it didn’t help at all. I opened the door mid cycle while the water was leaking and it looks like the water level is fine, float is working, spray arm is fine, pump is fine.
@@appliancepartspros Same for me. Trying to figure this out ???? Replaced the door seals and this bottom plastic part but still leaks a little at the bottom corners. Not like before but still leaks. Any ideas ??? This is Driving me crazy ! : )
@@CobraABC Same for me. Trying to figure this out ????
Reuben Lee Brown yeah. I replaced that grey plastic seal too and it didn’t do much to help. I’m thinking that it must be one of two things. Either the lower spray arm is just slightly off-balance so it’s causing an uneven wave of water to slosh around as it spins, or the whole machine is off balance (I’ll be checking that this evening).
This is a very well done video. Its clear to see and lighting is good on everything except the little screws on the seal. Thanks!
Thank you
You rock
