Bosch 00263096 Door Gasket (Dishwasher Side And Top Seal) OEM Part

Web site helped me diagnose problem as water inlet valve not fully shutting off. Repairman quoted me 200.00 to fix, so I decided to gamble the price of the item and repair myself. Web site offered easy to follow, detailed video instructions, had the part replaced and back to working like new in less than 30 minutes.

Replaced inner and lower door seals in 20 minutes.

I replaced both the door seal and the lower door seal. The lower seal was a bigger job and I used a number of YouTube videos to walk me through it. It was a pain, but it worked. Had I called the appliance store the following would have happened - After a week they come out and verify, yet it is leaking and they will need to come back in a week or so after ordering parts. Instead I did t myself, got the parts in 2-3 days and saved some money. There are very good resources for finding parts and then instructing one on how to install them, but it could all be improved to help more people, even the less adventurous, to fix things themselves.

Replaced the door gasket and the lower door seal. The biggest challenge was to build a tool to load the hinges so I didn't have to slide the unit out to relieve the spring tension.

Pulled out the old one. Put in the new one starting at the top middle and working my way down both sides. I initially called Bosch and the lady told me to get different one that was only about $15, but when I looked carefully at the picture, it seemed thinner than it should be. The one recommended here is exactly the same as the one I am replacing, and though it was more expensive, about $40, I feel better about getting the right one. Super fast shipping.
