Customer Questions and Answers for Door Seal (Dishwasher) by Bosch

This door seal creates a watertight barrier between the dishwasher door and tub to contain wash water and steam. Replace a worn gasket to stop drips from the door area and restore a reliable, quiet seal.

• Seals the perimeter of the door to help prevent leaks at the sides and top
• Helps the door close snugly and contain moisture/steam
• Replaces seals that are cracked, flattened, deformed, or shedding pieces
• Typical symptoms: water on the floor near the door, dampness around the door frame, visible wear, door harder to close

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Pull the old seal straight out; clean the groove/channel of residue and debris
• Warm the new seal to relax it; start at the top center and press it fully into the groove, ensuring corners are evenly seated
• Close the door for several hours to help the seal set, then run a short test cycle and check for leaks
