How do I replace the gasket at the bottom of the door?

How do you put this gasket on?
Hello Mark,
Thanks for your question. Remove the screws at the bottom of the door, then slide it back along the hinges until you can access the bottom gasket. Remove the gasket, then set the new one in place and reposition the door accordingly, then reapply the screws.
I hope this helps.

Where does this part go? On the inside or outside? My fall off and i don't know where it came off at? There were no screws with it. Are there instructions or youtube videos. I know its the right part it matches the one that fell off.
For model number 845
Hello Lynn, Thank you for your inquiry. This goes on the bottom of the inside of the door. Remove the screws at the bottom of the door, then slide it back along the hinges until you can access the bottom gasket. Remove the gasket, then set the new one in place and reposition the door accordingly, then reapply the screws. Although we do not have a video for this exact part number, I have included a link to a video for a similar part to assist you. Hope this helps!

I need to replace the lower door seal but there are no screws to remove to access the seal.
For model number GDF520PGD4WW
Hi Bob, thank you for your question. There are screws all around the inner panel of your door that you would have to remove. Generally you can just remove a few of them from the bottom half to get enough wiggle room to replace the gasket, however you can also remove all of the screws to remove the entire inner panel. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi:I replaced the bottom gasket on my GE dishwasher even though it was still in good shape as it's under 2 years old. It is still dripping on the left side, front, in the corner. Can't figure out where it's coming from. Anyone have any suggestions? Should i replace the tub gasket as well? Anything else? Thanks for responding.
For model number GDF510-620 series
Hello Don, thank you for your question. Yes, if the door gasket was replaced we would recommend replacing the tub gasket next. I hope this helps!

My dishwasher started leaking from the bottom. I suspect its leaking from the bottom of door. I called GE to see if there is a gasket for the bottom of the door, and there is, i am not sure how to remove or install the gasket. There are no visible screws so i think i have to lift the door and unhinge then pull out.. maybe then i can see where the gasket is..then remove old one and replace with new one. please advise
For model number Gdf520PS0SS
Hi Donna,
Thank you for your question. For this model there should be screws that you will need to remove. Remove the screws at the bottom of the door, then slide it back along the hinges until you can access the bottom gasket. Remove the gasket, then set the new one in place and reposition the door accordingly, then reapply the screws. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Is there insulation that should have come with this dishwasher? It’s brand new and there’s a gap between the outside of the dishwasher and enclosure. —jw
For model number GDF510PSM0SS
Hi Jill,
Thank you for your question. If the gap is at the bottom of the door, you will need to install a gasket if it is not already there. The part number listed under your model number for the gasket is PS11700870. The gasket creates a seal at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, so water does not leak out while the dishwasher is running. If you notice water leaking out onto the floor, you should inspect the gasket for damages and replace as necessary. The gasket is gray in color and is approximately 22 inches long. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Do you have any repair videos available? I haven't been able to find any on on youtube for this particular model. I'm trying to replace the gasket along the bottom of the door.Also, if the leakage that is coming from the center of the door isn't related to the gasket, but to a drainage issue, any ideas of what i might need to check? i have cleaned the filter, but that didn't work.
For model number GDF520PSDOSS
Hello Anne, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we do not have an installation video for this part. Another customer provided these instructions though. Maybe they will help. First removed the 2 screws at the bottom of the door. Open the door all the way and pulled the door back on the hinges until you can pull out the bottom gasket.Slide the new gasket back in place and pushed the door back down on hinges and replace the 2 screws.

Gasket at the bottom of the door disintegrated.
Took off the kickplate, diconnected the wires and removed the whole door by lifting straight up, removing spring wires from hinges. Once door is disconnected from the machine, removed one hinge by removing bolt. Slid gasket into place, secured hinge back in place, then reconnected wires at bottom, replaced hinge spring wires and slid door back down onto hinges. Now that we know how to do it, could do it in 15 min to half hour.

The diswaher was not pumping out the dirty water
Once I got the dishwasher out of the cabinet, which required removing the top screws and then the lower face plate. I then removed the old pump by disconnecting the hoses, then removing the old pump by pulling it from the hanger wire. I then disconnected the wire harness. I then put the new pump in place in reverse order. The wire harness connections were different, and the new harness that came with the new pump I was not sure how it may have went with this unit. So I hard wired it by sniping out the wire connector on both sides and wire nutting the connections. Once done I put the dishwasher back in place and tested. Worked like a charm.
I fixed this issue by replacing the Dishwasher Tub Gasket (PS11774412) and the gasket on the bottom of the door (PS11700870). Replacing the tub gasket is very easy and straight forward. You just pull it off and put the new one on. The door gasket was much more complicated. See the steps required for replacement below:
The * indicates the part number in the diagram I am referencing
1. Remove the Toe Kick Assembly (*759) 2. Remove screws holding dishwasher to counter and pull the dishwasher out 3. With door shut, disengage the springs on both sides from the arm hinge assemblies *800 (I did this by taking the rope off the pulley hinge *734) 4. Disconnect the wire going from the dishwasher body to the door (there are two or three supports for the wire that need to be removed for it to come free) 5. Open the door about 15 degrees and pull the door upward (only one angle will work for removing the door) 6. Place the door on its front on the ground 7. Remove the two screws (*745) that hold one of the arm hinge assemblies to the door and pull the hinge away from the door (you don't need to pull it all of the way out) 8. Pull the old gasket out to the side and install the new gasket
Got the seal, read the reviews to see how to do it, Take out the two bottom screws ,easy enough. pull the door up ,pull out seal replace new one. Easy enough, but know one said don't pull the door up too high , I did, could not get it back down to save my soul. Needles to say had to buy a new dishwasher. that sucked have the new seal gasket if anybody needs one

Dishwasher was leaking at the bottom of the door (left side)
I removed the old gasket and installed the new one in the same position as the one I removed. I had to feel with my fingers for the ridge to insert the gasket so that it would hold. I must admit that I was skeptical that it would work (the old one didn't even seem very damaged). I ran a cycle and there was no more leaking. We've been using the dishwasher ever since with no issues of leakage.
Very satisfied customer.

old nasty gasket needed to be replaced
youtube youtube youtube! No videos for the exact unit, but I got the gist from one video which included the trick of holding the door hinge springs in place with allen wrenches, while the door slid up and away for access to the gasket. I also had to pull the unit out from under the counter by about a foot. No need to disconnect anything. Good luck.

Leak at bottom of door
Online instructions said to remove door. Found no need to. Only need to release one hinge by sliding door upward after removing 2 screws at bottom edge of door which releases both hinges. With door lifted just pry out old seal (it will be stuck so use a strong screwdriver). Then slide new seal in place. Lower door back down on hinge. Job done.

Door gasket needed to be replaced
Simple answer- do not try to do this. GE makes you replace the entire door to replace this $3 part or call them and pay $100s to fix it. We decided to replace the entire dishwasher after we went through disassembly (there are no instructions on this) only to find out we could not fix without a brand new door.

Replacing the bottom gasket on GE GDT530PGD2BB Dishwasher
Some of these other instructions may be for other models. This is specifically for GDT530PGD2BB, which doesn't present screws on the inner side of the door.
I'm extremely reluctant to do anything more than the repair at hand, so I didn't move the dishwasher out of its recessed cabinet, which would make the repair easier. I also did not remove the connector plug from the dishwasher to the door, since there was enough slack to do the repair without this step.
1. Turn off power to the dishwasher.
2. Under the bottom of the door, there are two 1/4" hex screws that can be removed with a small socket wrench, or if you moved the dishwasher out, you can tip it over slightly and get at these screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
3. With those out, you can open the door flat and slide it off it's hinges *just a little bit*. You need maybe an inch or so clearance to slide the old gasket out and slide the new one in. I had to use pliers to remove the old, very damaged gasket, but the new one easily slid into place.
4. Were you able to just move the door out a bit without removing it totally from the hinges? Great! Slide it back, put those screws in the bottom again, and you've done it! Probably in minutes!
5. Or, you could be like me and accidentally lift the door too far and have one of the hinges pop out. If I had someone helping me, it would have taken half a minute to put the door back on its hinges, but I was by myself, so I had to finagle something to keep the hinges open (two screwdrivers wedged handle first), so I could slide the door back on the hinges. That took me about 10 minutes. ¯\_(?)_/¯
Good luck!

Easy repair
I had to remove and re-position a couple of times to get it leak free but not big deal. Sure beats paying for a service call. I replaced both gaskets since I was in the mood.
