Do-It-Yourself Story

1.Removed the electrical connector and replaced with new 16 gauge wires soldered in place and insulated. 2. Removed old door gasket and retainer and replaced with new gasket and retainer, using new screws. [The repair video associated with this repair kit is incorrect. The gasket is installed in a retainer which is mounted on the dishwasher frame, typical of most Whirlpools. Your video shows a gasket, but no retainer, being installed in the door of the dishwasher, typical of most Maytags.] 3 I still have a leak amounting to about 2 oz. of water per wash coming from inside the door and dripping from the attachment of front panel at its lower edge, and at the exit of the wiring harness from the lower door edge. I conclude that water is not leaking beyond the new gasket but into the door within the confines of the gasket, possibly at the trigger that actuates the detergent door. The machine is 31 years old.
