So I’m trying to do this repair myself and although I think I got it right I’m not sure and it’s very frustrating. Here’s the problem, after I change the gasket seal just barely touching it will slip it out. How do I stop this from happening, do I have the wrong part or was I supposed to get some sort of glue or clip thing? The notch is on the right side that was indicated in the video too. Can you help me?

Hi Helena, based on your situation we recommend pressing the gasket with controlled pressure into the channel that is on the inner door liner. It should be a snug fit, and if it is too loose it needs to be pushed in further. I hope this helps.

Hello Robert, Thank you for your inquiry. You may have to remove the inner door panel or liner in order to pull the gasket out. We also have an installation video to install the gasket. https://www.partselect.com/PS9495545-Frigidaire-809006501-Bottom-Door-Gasket.htm#RepairVideo Hope this helps!

I sent a question yesterday about a notch in the bottom of the door seal i ordered. You told me about the notch on the end. I know what that is. I am asking about a notch that is in the middle of the gasket. I have got this part before and had the same thing. It does not show on your picture of the item or on the installation video. It is about 1/4 inch square. What is it and will it let the door leak. Don't see a reason for it.

I'm looking for the bottom door gasket. Your video shows installing a white gasket on what appears to be a somewhat flexible interior. I'm wondering if that gasket will work on our Frigidaire professional series dishwasher. Or do i need a different bottom door gasket.

Bottom door gasket has 6 holes and water leaks through the holes. Was sent a replacement from Frigidaire and it has the same holes. I found the gasket on your site and the picture doesn't show any holes but i wanted to know before i order it if the picture is accurate

Frigidaire dishwasher leaks from bottom of door

Hi David, Thank you for your inquiry. I found your model number on one of resource sites and the image of the gasket shows that it does have 6 holes. The manufacturers part number I found under your model number is different from the one you have referenced in your question to us. The part number I have found is 5304500204 (our part number for it is PS11703834). Frigidaire may have provided you with the wrong part. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I have twice purchased bottom seal for door and both times they have come with a notch in the middle. This isn't shown in any video on replacement of gasket. Why is this?

Hi Gary, Thank you for your question. There is a little tab on the bottom edge of your door that that notch slides over to give you your water tight seal. Good luck with your repair.

The door gasket i need to replace is black and rubber, and on a "professional series" Frigidaire dishwasher. Will the white gasket you offer work?

I’m getting a leaking from my dishwasher but I already replaced the seals. What should my next plan of action be

Frigidaire dishwasher leaks from bottom of door

Hello Miles, we recommend first checking that the dishwasher is levelled and properly secured. Then check that the door aligns with the tub opening, and that the splash guard does not have any damage. If everything is in good condition, check the float for sticking, and the spray arm for splitting. One of these should solve your problem. However, if you are still having leakage, please let us know and we will help you solve it.

Why is my Frigidaire dishwasher leaking from the bottom of the door?
