How to Replace the Front Door Seal on a Whirlpool Dishwasher
- 1). Open the Whirlpool dishwasher door to locate the front door seal, which is around the edge of the appliance.
- 2). Use needle nose pliers to force open the door seal and lift the entire gasket from the dishwasher.
- 3). Move your fingers over the door seal to check for holes, breaks or tears to determine if the seal needs to be replaced. If the seal requires replacement, affix the middle portion of the new door seal to the top of the dishwasher. Make sure to center the seal.
- 4). Move the new door seal along both sides of the dishwasher and press it in, so the seal fits into place.
- 5). Close the dishwasher door. Run a washing cycle to make sure the seal is properly inserted and there are no leaks.
