Thanks for the tip. We usually recommend using a hair dryer or placing it in warm water in your bathtub. Both methods work well.

I had to do the same as you and it worked like a charm, Great reply with info...

Need video!!!

Thanks Tom, i had the same experience and need to take off the door.

I was able to do this with no problem WITHOUT taking the door off. I am no expert by any means. The only difficulty for me was taking the old seal out, but a pair of pliers did the trick.

Well I have tried to slide it into position multiple times and it has come right back out into the bottom of the dishwasher every time so I obviously don’t have the touch. Believe I’ll remove the door. Thanks for y’all’s responses. :)

Did you ever figure it out? I'm having this problem currently.

Get down and look through the hole near the door hinge so you can see where it should be seated. Just pushing it through obviously does not automatically catch the area. It has to be guided.

Open the door, but don't lay it flat. Instead, leave it at an angle of 10 to 20 degrees from the floor. Then, use your fingers to feel the slit at the bottom; this is where you should insert the seal.

I have the same exact problem.. used my big brain to cover the holes with electric tape and in the middle of cycle water leaks out still through the middle about 30 minutes in (I now know the holes are supposed to be unconvered)... did you ever figure out if the holes are 'supposed' to let water through? maybe i somehow have too much water?? And/or are the holes supposed to be 'all the way in".. the video made it look so darn easy... unfortunately i need a roll of paper towels for each wash :(

I have the same issue. Anyone find the fix?

Having the same problem, did you figure out how to fix it or do I just need a new dishwasher? Lol

@@Phoenixxx18485 my gasket was too wide for some reason, which caused it to not be fully inserted, so I ended up just snipping off the ends. Hasn’t fallen out since.

I think there is a problem no one is mentioning. The bottom door gasket slips into a "groove" - but the groove is made of rubber/plastic; and, on my dishwasher, is has completely disintegrated so there is no way the gasket can stay in place. I find no reference online to replacing that plastic/rubber groove on the base of the door that needs to hold the gasket seal in place. It seems no dishwasher repair people address this.

The edge with the double seal slides into a channel on the back of the inside door panel. You can't see it. If you don't get into the groove, the seal will push in until it disappears. When it is in the groove, you won't be able to push it in any more, and just the flexible edge will be showing.

@@the_griswolds8608 of all the videos I've watched this comment made all the difference for me. I was able to finally get the gasket in knowing there is a groove. Took some work , waiting on side splash things now

Sharif Sayfulloev the 2 little seals for the bottom of the tub gasket.

@@CallPaula4RealEstate What do you mean by "the 2 little seals for the bottom of the tub gasket"? Do you mean another gasket needs to be replaced? Can you link the part? Thanks.

Maybe they meant the splash guards. Mine didn't come with my dishwasher but I just added them.

I have the same leak - were you able to find a solution? Mine leaks because of the water that splashes up on the electric wire bundle.

Mine melts the sprayer disk on the heating unit. Replaced twice and melted both within 2 weeks. Called manufacturer and they said it had no recall and since the unit was out of warranty, I had to pay for repair which is buying the same crappy replacement part to melt again. Pretty much told the no way in h%$# I was giving them anymore money for their faulty design. Those things were $60 apiece. So now I have to tye strap the disk together for it to work properly till it melts the tye straps, then repeat. My dishwasher was just past 1 yr old and did not want to buy another. The sprayer bar has to much weight on 1 end that causes the sprayer disk to rest on the heating element. Also have noticed a melted area under my heating element. It has not melted all the way through but i cant help but wonder. You have 1 thing right. This is an expensive hunk of junk. I usually don't have a problem with Frigidaire, but my experience has soured me from buying anything else from them. That being said, I had to replace the seal this week due to severe leaking. You can get down all the way on the floor to look through the hole to see where it is supposed to be seated because just pushing it through the slot won't do it. Then try installing it that way. If that does not work, you will have to remove the door panels.

Sorry to hear that. My used one is three years now and no issues yet.

But you a star screw or machine screw kit
