Ge WD08X10057 Dishwasher Door Gasket OEM Part

My wife is attached to her old, simple, no bells and whistles dishwasher. When it started leaking from the bottom of the door, I looked up the possible fix and thought the price of the gasket probably out-valued the dishwasher. I thought that it was time to buy a new one. After looking at the prices of dishwashers (even with a Memorial Day sale) I was shocked at high they have gotten. The price of the gasket, which isn't even a third of the price of a bottom of the line DW, was looking even better. What I did: I removed the inner panel of the dishwasher door by removing the screws that held it onto the framing of the door (no need to remove entire door.) When doing this, any rinse agent that may still be in reservoir will leak out, so have several sponges and towels handy. (My wife only uses vinegar as a rinse agent, so no worries on it damaging flooring, etc.) I noted how the old gaskets were lined up on the inner door panel and took both off. The old gaskets were dry rotted and chipping away in several places, so definitely in need of a change. The first time I tried to put new gasket on, it did not line up correctly with the Gasket Insert, so I had to do it again, but was able to line it up correctly on the second attempt. I need to add that I am very thankful that Appliance Parts Pros has suggestions on their website when ordering. After doing my research on the leak problem, I thought I only needed to purchase the Dishwasher Door Gasket. On that product page, Appliance Parts Pros had the suggestion for the Gasket Insert. Because of that suggestion, I ordered both. After installing, I realized my leak problem would not have been remedied had it not been for both gaskets. Once installed, I immediately ran the DW through a rinse cycle. No leaks so far. I'm an auto mechanic by trade, so this was extremely easy (easier than replacing the dishwasher with a new one.) However, even with little mechanical experience, this will be a very simple fix for anyone.

I took the inside plate off door. Removed old gasket. Broke styrofoam vent buffernbecause I grabbed it in the wrong place. Ordered both a gasket and vent buffer from your company. It came in 2 days as promised. I had to empty dishwasher of about 2-3 inches of water as with the door apart and knowing it would leak I had to shut off electric supply and hand empty machine first cup by cup and then towel by towel. (Towel method worked well). Then I took a blow dryers to the inside of dishwasher, to the floor and the inner door buffers as I didn't want any mud tor mold tonfork. I accidentally lost my balance while blow drying the buffers on the inner door and burnt a hole right on the smaller pad. I became McGyver and filled hole with heavy string and secured with electric tape as I was confident this was a sound buffer and was not vital to replace and attain usable function of dishwasher. After watching multiple You Tube videos, I then again took off old gasket to inner door and put in the new gasket. I replaced vent buffer. Remounted the inner door part. Note that the open/close lever handle needs to fit throufh hole of the bottom of front door before door parts will align. You also need to remember or in my case look up which size screws go where. Then I remounted front floor panels under door. Also need to remember or look up which size screws go where. Honestly the hardest parts were emptying machine of water and remounting floor panels as you needed to recall that larger too part mounts over smaller part touching the loot to get parts to align with screw holes. But I was pretty proud to fix on my own for < $80 rather than paying s technician to come out. I know I would have paid at least $150!for him to repair it or may have bought a new dishwasher. I then laundered all towels. Eventually when I have more I will replace electrical tape securing inner door buffer with duct tape.

When discovering the leak I examined the seals along the door of the dishwasher and found them to be in pretty bad condition. Not knowing how to fix it I called a couple appliance parts stores in my area and got virtually no help other then an offer to send a repair man out. Cost estimates were $150 in parts and $200 in labor!! So I searched online and found that through ApplianceParts Pros.com they had all the schematics showing what parts I needed but they have videos showing how to do the repair!! The parts, consisting ot a door seal, 2 baffles and a center seal cost me $90 including shipping and were here in 3 days. Would have been 2 days but the weekend got in the way. As a result I was able to fix the dishwasher myself in about 10 minutes (it no longer leaks) and I saved $260!! I love that!!.

Purchased new door gasket and installed it!

Panel access was easy to replace. The fiberglass insulation was removed from the old access panel and reglued to the new one using spray adhesive. The lower rack slides into place with no problem. For the door gasket watch the video first, bump your head, growl a bit, and in about five minutes the new gasket is in place. OK, I watched the video again. Line up the notch dummy, line up the notch
