Bosch 00263096 Dishwasher Door Gasket 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.

I ordered two seals and installed them. The door gasket was very easy but the lower seal was a lot of work. I had to disconnect the water supply and pull the dishwasher out of the cabinet in order to remove the side panels. This allowed me to disconnect the door springs. I then had to disassemble the door and remove it from the hinges. The process was not intuitive but there were online videos that helped to know the sequence of removing the door. The old seals did not look very bad but they were 20 years old. So far, the door is no longer leaking.
