How do I know if it's the seal that's the problem? I cant tell if mine is worn down or not. My dishwasher also clogs up not sure if that has anything to do with it

If it is clogging up, I would address that first. I’ll give you a link to a video to fix that issue.

Give the dishes a pre rinse in the sink before loading them in the dish washer. Also clean the dish washer filter often.

@kaylarasmussen106 2 жыл бұрын

Hey! What’s the difference between the two gaskets. My gasket looks like the one you pulled out (with the center missing a section of the rubber) but it looks like the replacement you bought has a full rubber slip. I’m noticing my leak is coming from dead center - could it be because I have the version where the rubber is not on the center piece? Thanks

@TightWadDIY 2 жыл бұрын

My replacement was the same as my original. Both had the gap.

Question... I've replaced the damaged gasket and cleaned the rubber seal, but i still have water leaking out from the bottom of my dishwasher. Is there anything else i can do? Edit: now it's also leaking from the back corner

@TightWadDIY Жыл бұрын

Sorry I’m really not sure.

@Shi1984 Жыл бұрын

@TightWadDIY no worries! We did end up calling a repairman, and it was a damaged intake hose. It helped that i had done some basic repair first, so they knew what it wasn't and could diagnose it faster.

Frigidaire dish washers are crap. NEVER buy one. 2 of my family members (different states) each bought the same "affordable" dishwasher at Lowes. Both started leaking around the same time. I have worked on both - replaced gaskets, washers, rubber seals and they STILL leak. There's a white strip around the door with holes YES HOLES (I replaced to no avail!) where water was gushing out like a waterfall.

You aren’t getting it in the track. It won’t fall out if installed correctly. You have to slide it into the groove.

@@TightWadDIY I have a Whirlpool WDT710PAYM5 dishwasher. I can't find a removable bottom seal, do you know how is this possible? Dishwasher is leaking from front door...there is a gap at bottom of inside door panel, is it possible the gasket got pushed INSIDE into that gap? I'm at a loss for what to do. Thank you.
