Ge WD08X10015 Door Gasket Insert OEM Part

After researching on the APP site, I decided what I thought I would need and purchased a new Gasket, Gasket Insert, Left & Right Corner Baffles from APP. The parts were shipped immediately. However, I’m an 80 yr. old female so I procrastinated for almost 6 weeks before deciding to 'tackle' the repair myself rather than hiring an appliance repair person or "handyman". I went back into the AppliancePartsPros site and reviewed the wonderful videos related to the repair since Matt had made it look so easy. As it turned out it really was easy!! I had the old baffles removed and the new baffles installed in about 5 minutes and had the old gasket removed and the new one installed in about 40 minutes. I had one slight problem - the video showed a small notch in the middle of the gasket that was supposed to line up with the center of the door latch at the top of the door. There was no notch in the gasket so I ‘guessed’ at the center but that didn’t work. I did need to modify the instructions by starting the gasket insertion at the bottom left corner where the gasket had the large notch that went around the corner, then I took it up the left side, around the top and down to the bottom right corner. I continued following Matt’s instructions, pressing the gasket in place and finished by inserting a new ‘gasket insert’ in the center bottom of the door. As soon as I finished the repairs, I crossed my fingers and started the dishwasher. Eureka! the dishwasher is now working perfectly -- water coming in and water going out -- through the dishwasher not through the bottom of the door and on to the floor. I should mention that prior to ordering parts I did clean out the float located in the bottom left hand corner which was full of “stuff” but now still seems to be working o k.

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.

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!!.

Installed all the parts I ordered in about 20 min

Ordered a new front gasket from appliance parts pro Installation was simple. I watched the video provided
