DP1040XTXQ1 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Old door seal simply pulls out of stainless steel "u" channel. The new seal is designed to slip into "u" channel. A very simple repair.

Diagnosed the problem was a worn out door seal. Replaced the seal and the floor is now dry.I can also tell the door is a tighter fit now.

Removed old and installed new gasket

Gasket had a tear in it from utensils in tray moving past the gasket. Pulled off old gasket and pressed new gasket in place. Cut off about 3/4" of excess gasket material with scissors.

Only needed my fingers to press seal into the channel. Old seal pulled out very easily and new one went in just as easy.

Had to call and place another order for a special glue that bonds stainless steel to rubber gasket.

The special glue part number is:

PS382760 Silicone Adhesive $18.82

I ordered this special glue (instead of using something like liquid-nails from Home Depot because I had a concern about chemical safety of having a glue that might leech into the dishes during a wash cycle.

The install instructions for the gasket (PS3418214 )does not call for having to use a glue to secure the gasket to the dishwasher.

The install was really easy because you just push it into the opening all around the front of the dishwasher.

First off I want to say thank you part select for being on the internet. I called my local appliance repair parts department. They wanted 30 dollars more than what I got it from you guys. Anyway I took the old gasket off, cleaned the area to put the new one on and it just slipped right into place. I think the cleaning took longer than replacing the gasket.

I removed the old door gasket and cleaned the channel that the gasket sits in. Then I marked the center of the gasket and matched it with the center of the channel. The door latch did get in the way so I had to have another set of hand to get it started. It pretty much went in by hand just by pushing it. There was extra gasket on either side of the bottom of the door. I trimmed to make it fit perfectly. The first time I used the dishwasher it didn't leak. Unfortunately, the second time I did it leaked again. I am going to run it again tomorrow, but does anyone have an idea why it might still be leaking? Thanks

I pulled out the old gasket and pushed the new gasket in with my fingers and a little help from a flathead screwdriver. I went in fairly easily and now it doesn't leak. That simple. Thanks.

First I ordered the wrong part as it was changed to a kit. reordered new parts and recieved them in less than 24 hrs. Took about 5 minutes to finish the job. Thannks to the young lady I talked to for helping me to order the right part and I have a hard time hearing and her southern draw msde it harder to understand but worked with me and we got things done!!!!!!!!!

Removed old gasket...started on the right and side and just eased the new one in the slot around the dishwasher. Just guided it in with a screwdriver and butter knife. I was very pleased with the outcome. I know it would have cost much, much more if I had called an appliance repair company. Thank you!

This doesn't get easier; pull off the old leaky gasket, open package of new gasket, and replace gasket. Done! Good as new and no need for a service call by an expensive repair service.

The gasket had already come loose. We were able to fit the new one in without any trouble. We were trilled that we did not need to pay to have someone out to replace the part.

Pushed in the new gasket and had excess that I cut off. The new gasket leaked because I was short on one side. I had to stretch the gasket to keep it secure and stop leaking.

You need star bits! Removed top three screws on the pump housing, removed two screws from the tubing to the upper wash arm, moved the lower part of this tubing to the right to reveal a hidden screw. Pulled all out and removed screw and a cover to get to the chopper assy cover one screw and a little pressure from a flat screwdriver because the plastic pieces were held together with dried detergent. Pulled out old , which was covered with plastic,which broke unit, and restricted water intake. Replaced all in reverse order,O.K. now!
