whirlpool dishwasher #gu2275xtvq3 leaking from middle of door

[mrfixit]

hi jeff. water level is good just touching underside of element. spray arms good no cracks. door seal good. unit is level.at the bottom of the door there is a round plastic seal piece that is part of the inner door. it runs along the length of the bottom of the door.it has a rounded shape at both ends of the door but in the middle where its leaking it's not as round. do you think heat may have caused it to warp a little? is it repairable? its a plastic tub unit.the piece i'm talking about seals against the lip of the tub when the door is closed. has this been a problem with this d/w. thanks. oh there's no problem with soap. they use the little packs of cascade. leaking usually occurs within the first couple of minutes of wash cycle.

Hi,


it has a rounded shape at both ends of the door but in the middle where its leaking it's not as round. do you think heat may have caused it to warp a little?

Yes, absolutely.


is it repairable?

Other than being replaced, nope.


has this been a problem with this d/w

It is a problem with many d/w's.

its part of the inner door, so i'd have to replace the whole door wouldn't I?

[jeff1]

I couldn't find it as a seperate part so it would appear so yes.
