Understanding the Problem
A failed door gasket (also called a door seal) is a common cause of water leakage and poor sealing on dishwashers. The gasket runs around the interior edge of the door and compresses against the tub when the door closes. Over time the rubber can crack, flatten, detach from its channel, or become compressed/warped so it no longer forms a watertight seal. When the gasket is compromised you may notice water pooling under the appliance, wet cabinets, or water dripping from the door during or after a cycle. Replacing the gasket is generally straightforward: you remove the old seal, clean the channel where it sits, and press the new gasket into the retention channel. In some models a retaining strip or clips secure the gasket — check your model to see if any trim needs removal first.
Common Symptoms
Water leaking from the door edge, wet floor or cabinets, visible cracks/collapsed sections in the rubber, door that doesn’t feel snug when closed, or detergent residue collecting at the gasket.
Common Causes
- Age and wear — rubber dries out, cracks, or flattens over time.
- Gasket became dislodged from its retention channel or was improperly reinstalled.
- Debris, food particles, or mineral buildup preventing a full seal; or door/tub alignment issues causing uneven compression.

Helpful Repair Tip
Run a short wash and watch the door seam (or place paper towels along the door edge) to locate where water is escaping. For a quick visual check, insert a bright flashlight behind the gasket; light showing through indicates gaps or thin spots.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a door gasket replacement cost for a dishwasher?
Part cost varies by manufacturer and whether you buy OEM or aftermarket. Expect parts to range from about $20–$80 for many common models; model-specific OEM seals can cost more. If you hire a technician, add labor which typically ranges $80–$200 depending on rates and travel.
Can I replace the DU1014XTXQ0 door gasket myself, and how long does it take?
Yes — replacing a dishwasher door gasket is usually a doable DIY job for someone comfortable with basic tools. Typical time is 30–90 minutes. Steps: disconnect power, open the door and remove any decorative trim or retaining strip, pull out the old gasket, clean the gasket channel thoroughly, work the new gasket into the channel starting at one corner and stretching it evenly, reinstall any trim/clips, then test with a short wash. Always confirm the exact procedure for your model in the service manual and follow safety precautions (disconnect power and water if required). If the door or tub is misaligned, or if the gasket requires adhesive or special clips, consider professional help.
