Ge WD08X10075 Lower Door Gasket OEM Part

The repair was super simple. Just slide out the old seal and slide in the new. The INTERESTING part was getting access to the seal at the bottom of the door. Just remove the front of the door -- unscrew eight screws around the edge. Try to pull off the door front. Finally locate two hidden screws underneath the two bottom corners. After several tries, find that the screws require a wrench to loosen. I pull off the door front, making only a few scratches, some on my hand, then try to pry up an edge of the door interior (plastic, but pretty rigid) to reach the seal end. After 20 minutes of tugging, pulling and close observation, I realize that the plastic was fastened to the main base or frame of the door via plastic "plugs"-- extensions going through the base's sheet metal and fused in place by some robotic manufacturing device. (This saves using screws to manufacture, but puts the onus on the repairer to find out that the door interior is thus permanently attached to the frame.) Holding my breath and using a sharp knife, I cut away the exposed heat-formed plugs to release the door interior. Finally the plastic interior and the frame were separated. (It worked! But I was afraid I might not be able to fix it back in place, since my resident robot was somewhere else.) Now I pry up one side of the plastic interior to access the end of the old seal. Using needle-nose pliers, I pull it out about one fourth of the way. A nearby under-sink cabinet door protrudes just enough so I can't pull out the seal all the way. I remove the cabinet door. I pull out the seal, and find the other door is also in the way. I go to the other side of the appliance and pull out adjoining cabinet drawers, rather that remove another door. (Why didn't I think of that sooner?) I extract the seal and slide in the new one. The repair took all of thirty seconds. Accessing the D... thing has taken 45 minutes to an hour.) I go to my box of miscellaneous used screws and find four of a size to fit into screw holes fitted over plastic lugs on the door interior panel -- obviously just for this purpose! -- which will securely hold the door interior in place. (GE COULD have used these, but they saved some assembler eight seconds per door using the fused plug.) I reversed the process to reassemble. Tested -- no leaks. Only took about 1 1/2 hours all told. If GE had designed the door HINGE to permit access, all this could have been done by simply opening the door and pulling out the old seal, replacing with the new one. So much for our GREAT design engineers. My thanks to GE for providing me a series of challenges without any help from their documents. I did get some preliminary help from YouTube, though. This probably saved me $200 for a 60-second fix.

All parts arrived in one box - I purchased the tub gasket, lower door gasket and lower door seal. My existing parts were visibly pretty worn out, dishwasher is 12 years old (maybe should have just bought anew one?). Tub gasket was pretty easy, it took me a while to make sure it was even all the way around, after attest run and the subsequent drying heat it fits nicely. Lower door seal went as video, all good, my other one was destroyed from the heat cycles. Could not get the lower door seal repaired. The screws at the bottom of the door were described as 1/4 inch nuts, they were actually very soft allen head sheet metal screws and stripped out (both sides). However even if I got those out my dishwasher was recessed a bit and I don't think I would have been able to get the seal out, and definitely would have been an issue to get the new one in. Now as the allen head sheet metal screws are stripped I could pull out the unit, drill them out, and put in the seal but I'm going to wait and see if the other parts have solved the problem. I original complained about the freight ($9.99) and was responded to by appliance parts. All of the parts I received were neatly packages in one box, all GE replacement parts, all good. Appliance Parts Pros did a great job, the most important aspects were well fitting parts and detailed videos - great job Appliance Parts Pros - thanks! PS - great opportunity to clean the heck out of your appliance, removed lots of nasty crud, took out the lower racks, sprayed the inside with bleach based cleaner and ran on "sani - high heat" looks and smells great. Another 12 years (doubt it)?

Not the first time my 10 year old dishwasher developed a leak. I have learned that the tub gasket gets dirty and the gasket spring gets weak. Cleaning and if needed replacing that solves the problem. In cleaning the tub gasket this time I notice the bottom door seal had separated from the door. It was originally riveted on. This seal is part of the door assembly and not available as a separate part. You need to buy inner door to get a new seal. Not worth it on a 10 year old appliance. BUT, I have learned that it's not needed. I didn't replace mine and it works without leaking!

My GE dishwasher was leaking water from the bottom of the door and I thought it was something much worse and I was getting ready to look into buying a new unit, until I found a video on YouTube from Appliance Parts Pros, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgVK76jqdb8 It made all the difference, very easy to fix. I ordered the Lower Door Gasket and the Tub Gasket, parts where shipped very fast and it took less than 20 min to do the repairs. Saved me from buying a new unit for $400 plus, it works like new and my wife was very impressed. Thank you for the detail repair video, Dennis

I ordered parts, watched video, installed parts. Leak fixed. Great Service!! Thanks.
