Tub Gasket and Trim
The dishwasher tub seal prevents water leakage.
The seal is fi tted in a seal channel that lines the rim
of the dishwasher tub.
To remove the tub seal or trim:
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the dishwasher tub seal by grasping
one end of the seal to peel it away from the seal
channel.
4. Reverse the above procedures to install.
Note: When installing the tub seal, make sure it is
seated properly in the seal channel. Run your fi nger
over the seal to make sure it is smooth and even for
a proper seal. A correctly installed gasket will have
both ends of the gasket equally distant from the
bottom of the tub.
