Do you have to remove the dishwasher door to attach the lower baffle? If so, how do you remove the door? The replacement part is totally different from my original part. The original had a gasket on it.

Answer Betty, Yes, you will need to separate the inner door liner from the door assembly, the baffle kit is attached to the bottom on the door liner. You don't have to remove the door, but you will need to remove power to the dishwasher, remove the outer door panel " 1. Loosen but do not remove the two (2) toe panel screws below the access panel. Remove and set aside the two (2) screws above the access panel. 2. Remove the access panel assembly by sliding it upward to clear the loosened screws. This access panel will be replaced by new a new custom panel assembly. 3. Remove the two (2) screws from the bottom of the outer door panel. Pull the bottom of the outer door panel outward and slide it down approximately ¼” to ½”. The panel will then be free for removal." Then disconnect the door springs from the lower frame and then lift the door up and off the the hinge pins, enough to insert and secure the baffle. Thanks
