You should be able to see it by looking at the perimeter of the door opening.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Remove the old door seal<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"> &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Using a screwdriver, loosen the screws that hold the door seal in place. Once the screws are removed, you can use pliers to gently pull the old door seal out of its groove. Be careful not to damage the groove or any other parts of the dishwasher door.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Clean the area around the door seal<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"> &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Before installing the new door seal, it is important to clean the area around the groove thoroughly.

Use your fingers to press the seal into place, working your way around the perimeter of the door. Be sure to press the seal firmly into the groove to ensure a tight fit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Secure the new door seal<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"> &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Once the new door seal is in place, use a screwdriver to tighten the screws that hold it in place. Make sure that the seal is securely fastened and there are no gaps or loose areas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Test the dishwasher<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"> &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Now that the new door seal is installed, it is important to test the dishwasher to ensure that it is working properly.
