Hi, Purchase a new door seal if there is water leaking out of the dishwasher door. The door seal is located on the inside of the door of the dishwasher or along the door opening of the dishwasher cabinet. The new seal must be compatible with the model dishwasher which is being repaired. Dishwasher parts may be purchased online through the manufacturer's website or an appliance parts store. Soak the new seal in warm soapy water for half an hour so that it will insert more easily into the seal groove. When it has dried, rub petroleum jelly on flanges (the rubber part that will fit into the dishwasher seal's groove) to help them slip in easier. Remove the bottom dish rack. Pry the old seal up with a screwdriver. Remove any screws clips or clamps that may be screwed in. As the seal is being lifted, observe how it fits. This will make it easier to replace the part. Install the new seal from the top. Press the seal into the grooves of the dishwasher door, the seal "housing". Start at the top of the door's seal housing and press the seal in, moving to the sides and then the bottom of the door. Replace any screws clips or clamps that were holding the old seal in. Let us know if you want something more else please accept the suggestion. Thank You for contacting Fixya.com
