removed old seal, placed new seal in place. Used my fingers to push it in place. It didn't work as it still leaks. I've put vaseline on the seal and door and it helps but still leaks. The dishwasher doesn't overfill, so I still have the problem, just not as bad.
Got parts breakdown online, took pump assy apart, ordered new parts, replaced bad parts, put pump assy and dishwasher back together, piece of cake, no problems.
Took off bottom plate (2 screws) and ran unit to ensure where leak is from....it appears to be the door seal. Pulled out old seal with fingers and replaced door seal, ensuring its properly "fitted"..ran unit, no leaks, put bottom plate back on
Replacing the pin with the spring is a little tricky, it was hard to hold it. And the little plastic pin breaks real easy too, its hard to get the lid to snap in place without breaking the pin.
Lowered door and put a weight on it to keep it open. with screwdriver pried out the old gasket. It was simple. looked at the end of the replacement gasket and inserted it into the track with the small hole down. Job Complete. about three minutes total time.
I opened the door and pulled the gasket from around the dishwasher. The gasket does not have any adhesive around it, so it pulled free almost immediately. The new gasket was pressed into place around the door and I was done. It couldn't have been any easier. I suspected it was the gasket when I saw pinched portions that did not return to the original shape and there were no visible cracks in the machine.
This was an easy fix. My husband took out the old gasket and put the new one in. It fit perfectly and no more leak. The part got to us really quickly too and that was nice. No more hand washing the dishes! :)
