Hello Carol, thank you for contacting us. You will need white silicone adhesive caulk, we have this on our site, part number PS11728058 Good luck with the repair!
Received part 4172127 and special adhesive, but no instructions. Do I need the 2 plastic parts, can't figure where they go. Ms Shaw ordered parts from you, just trying to be a good ex.

Hi Jack, Thank you for the question. the two plastic parts go at the corners of the door. You will need to remove the door in order to remove the old parts and have them replaced. Hope this helps!

How do you install lower door seal with adhesive to prevent leaking seal can be put on two different ways so which way is correct?
For model number KUD124SE
Hello, Thank you for your inquiry. Open up the dishwasher door and pull out the old seal. Then close the door and use a 1/4 inch nut driver to remove the lower access panels. Next you need to remove the two door springs, make note of which notch they are in, then push the spring down to push it off the rail. Bend the tap that holds the hinge onto the pin with a flat head screw driver right behind the tab and bend it up and out of the way so you can lift the pin out of the hinge to release them. Close the dishwasher door, you may want to put a towel down, then lift it off the hinges and set it on the floor. Remove the left and right tub spacers by lifting them out. Put in the new tub spacers by pushing them down into place. Then replace the door on the hinges. Lower it down, then bend the hinge tab back down so it closes the hinge pin in place enough so that it holds the hinge but doesn't restrict the movement of the hinge. When you put the lower seal on, you want to make sure that the little slot is where the bottom of the door goes into. Apply the adhesive carefully along the edge, then insert the seal into the bottom of the door. Close the door and then reach underneath to hook the door springs onto the rails back onto the notch you took them off of. Before you put the kick panels back on, you may want to run a load to make sure there is no leaks. Then re-attach the panels, starting with the lower one first, then the upper one and re-attach the screws. Hope this helps!

Will this seal work in my dishwasher ?
For model number 66513429k701
Hello Lynette, Thank you for the question. This Lower Doro Seal kit is not listed for the model number provided. We have researched the model you have provided and have found the Lower Door Seal is only sold as part of the Air Inlet, PartSelect Number PS11748136. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
Do you happen to have a new video to replace the inner door seal. Al the videos are for the old style door. I have a one piece door with the operating buttons on the top edge of the door, so when it closes the buttons are not visible. There is only on plate that covers the very bottom. So this is long door version. Any videos i find on line are again for only the old style dishwasher. If you need to see what i mean just look at my model which is not new by any manner. It is 10 yrs old. I have just replaced the door gasket and that did not solve the problem of the leak on the right side of the door, so i have just ordered the bottom inner door seal and that is where all the videos are for 20 + yr old dishwashers. Please let me know if you can even provide written instructions i would appreciate it. Thanks darcy

Kenmore 665.15982 dishwasher. When in a number of wash program modes - as the program switches from washing to drain mode water pours out the bottom of the door - sounds washing and draining at the same time. I cancel the program and manually select drain option - the water pouring out the bottom of the door stops and the water drains as normal. This issue started all at once - not gradually. Does the pump do both spraying and draining and potentially not switching between the two properly when in a program mode.
Hello Dave, Thank you for your inquiry. Part# PS3500989 controls both the water circulation and draining. You can test this part with a multimeter to see if it is causing the problem. We also recommend checking the water inlet valve, the door switch, the float switch, and the float stem kit. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, we have videos available to assist you. Good luck with your repair.

Water Leaking Out Front Below Door
Replaced lower door seal kit per directions without success. Upon further diagnosis, I noticed the rubber section of the water tube (a seperate part in older models) had melted or burned or tore a ragged strip lengthwise in it. I purchased and installed the manifold spray arm kit ps382824 and because it was inexpensive I also got the wash arm bearing ring ps402231. I replaced all of these parts. . A very simple process if done one piece at a time. This spray arm kit comes with an upper spray arm, a water supply tube, a screw, and two holding clips. After these components were replaced the water no longer leaks. In order of most to least important in my situation. The wash arm bearing had actually worn off the shoulder and looked more like a cylindrical bushing or I than a cross section l. This component and the water tube were the most important parts. The door seal isn't a water proof gasket type of part it's more of a plastic splash shield. Good luck. . It can be done. . And it's worth the money and tme. Overall this is a good unit.

Dishwasher leaking water
Replaced the bottom door seal. Found the job to be very easy. Just slide the bottom seal off, slide the new seal on, and it fixed the leaky problem. The part was shipped immediately making the total experience worth while.

Dishwasher door leaked
!. I read the directions 2. Unplugged the dishwasher and removed the racks 3. I took off the 2 bottom panels and unhooked springs 4. I bent outward the tabs holding the door rod(A little difficult to get them bent far enough to remove the door) 5. pulled the door up and out of the bent tabs 6. Pulled out the old gaskets and replaced them with the new gaskets (I soaped the door one with liquid detergent) 7. Replaced the door etc and it does not leak!
We noticed a small amount of water on the floor after a wash cycle
Directions were somewhat generic, but clear enough to figure out that I had to remove the toe plate and front cover below the main door to disconnect the two springs that held the door in tension. I then removed the old door seal (really a splash guard), and scraped off some scum. Then I pried apart a metal tab on each side of the door to facilitate lifting up on the two hinge rods on the door to get to the two corner water diverter pieces that really keep the water in the dishwasher. These two pieces deteriorate over time like the splash guard. The reverse assembly process was simple, NO LEAKS.

Dishwasher leaking water
Install was very easy. Used hands, pliers to pull out old gaskets. Wiped down old dirt in track. Started from (top) middle of door frame and used some soap with warm water to insert new gaskets. That's it! Kept old plastic brackets in place because it was too difficult to remove door springs. Old door seal and lower door seal were badly worn (gummy and falling apart) - Thought that was the issue with the water leaking. Nope, I was wrong. Looks like the tub seal, and the plastic bearing that is under the spray arm. Going to buy new instead of diving in the money pit. 10 years old, motor corroded from water over the years.
all I had to do was snap the plastic piece in. thanks, great experience.

Soap scum on glasses
Took off the front cover and scraped out soap deposits - probably consequent to wash water not being hot enough. Replaced the lower seal - used some automotive weatherstrip seal to cement it in place. Loosened the door per instruction sheet and replaced the water deflectors on each lower corner. Probably took me longer since I'm 81 years old and don't get up and down as well as I once did. Insulated the hot water tube so wash water is hotter than before. Works pretty good.

leaking at bottom of door.
We were told by a repair guy to buy a new dishwasher-about a $900+ cost to replace. Then a local parts place and Sears each quoted us $85 for the part plus $129 to come out. Found your website and bought the part for $17. Also bought a hard rubber gasket that fits on the bottom of the door for $8. The brackets that came with that last part were the hardest to install, but the gaskets took 15 minutes. We did glue another strip of the long door gasket along the area under the door lip. Works great! Saved over $800. You rock!
The lower door seal had fallen out as it was worn out so I wasn't sure of the proper orientation of the new seal or even where it went as the instructions had nothing about the seal. A little bit of logical thinking and the seal just just snapped in place. The door drains that came with the kit were both a right or left hand and so I didn't install them. Turns out that I didn't need the new ones anyway. The old door seal just pulled out and the new one just pushed into place. I was careful to center the top of the strip so that it would come out even at both sides of the bottom. There were no instructions for the door seal but none were needed. As long as I was working on the washer I did some cleaning to make it look new and bright...that took the most time. Easy repair and a happy wife besides.
This was my third attempt at fixing the problem. First I tried the bushing under the lower spray arm. This worked for me a few years ago but not this time. I then replaced the door gasket with no luck. I just discovered another bushing that has worn paper thin between the lower spray arm and the nut that holds it. I ordered it and hopefully that will do the trick. I read that if the spray arm wobbles it creates waves in the tub that slop over the edge.

Missing key piece and poor fit.
The part ordered contained "extra" pieces and NO directions. Looked online and found differing directions on how to install. It did not fit securely in place and kept falling off.

A waste of time and money
The part does not fit and stay in place as the original part did. The material seems to be a stiffer plastic than the original part and will not stay snapped in place on the bottom edge of the door. It pulls off every time the door is opened and the door still leaks when the dishwasher is turned on. Very unhappy and frustrated. I will probably have to end up replacing the dishwasher since this part was very expensive and did me no good, Maybe I will dig the old seal out of the trash and see if I can repair it with some silicone caulking.

Did Not Fit
My machine was leaking from the lower door. I order two parts: PS356593 (Lower Door Seal Kit) and PS11747084 (Door Gasket - Black). The Door Gasket was moderately easy to install and stopped the leak. The Lower Door Seal did not fit correctly. It was loose. I reinstalled the original. This one might have worked in a pinch. I didn't need to use the catch cups.

Went well with a minor adjustment
The part was bent, when I received it. After soaking in hot water it helped some. The real help was the heat resistant silicone sealent that helped the seal adhere to the door. No leaks afterwards.

Misleading Part Inclusion and Wrong Instruction
1. I bought the door seal to fix leak as most people buy this for. There are two plastic parts in the package that happen to be related to the door hinges which have nothing to do with the leak. You can just pull the old door seal out, but there is a lot work to do if you try to replace the hinge part. Good I didn’t do that. 2. No instructions were included as indicated in the picture. I have to call for it and was directed to a YouTube video. That’s fine but the video doesn’t say you have to use silicon glue to install the door seal. I followed exactly what the instruction says at first but it still leaked. I then spent more time investigating before I used silicon glue. The leak stopped right away. If they include the correct instruction/ video to begin with, I won’t have to waste so much time.
