Gasket DOOR HOW TO DO YOU INSTALL THE DOOR GASKET-HOW DO YOU GET IT ON AND OFF

Replacing a Door Gasket

If the oven won't heat to the desired temperature or heats unevenly, the problem could be a defective door gasket. The best way to test for this is to pass your hand around the door, being careful not to touch it, while the oven is turned on. If you can feel heat escaping, the gasket needs replacement. Replace it with a new gasket made for the range.

On most ovens, the gasket is located on the frame of the oven, and the door closes against it. This gasket is generally friction-fit in a channel and can be replaced. In other units, the oven door has two sections, and the gasket is not mounted on the door frame, but is installed between the front and back sections of the door. Don't try to replace this type of gasket; call a professional service person. Here's how to replace a frame-mounted gasket:

Step 1: Pull the old gasket out of the channel. On some oven door frames the gasket is held in place with screws. To get at the screws, bend back the exposed edge of the gasket.

Step 2: Clean the channel and the door frame with a solution of mild household detergent and water.

Step 3: To install the new gasket, start the replacement at the top of the door frame and work down the sides, easing the gasket around corners. Finish the installation along the bottom, butting the ends of the gasket firmly together.

1. Buy a gasket that fits your door exactly.
   
2. Soak the new gasket in hot water in the sink to make it pliable.
   
3. Make sure the refrigerator is level.
   
4. Find a nut driver that will fit the screws holding the old gasket in place and lay out your tools where you'll be able to reach them.
   
5. Start at the top outside corner of the door and fold the old gasket back as you partly loosen the screws along half of the top and side. Don't loosen them all the way.
   
6. Pull the old gasket out.
   
7. Attach the new gasket by pushing it beneath the metal retainer and tightening the screws as you go.
   
8. Replace each section the same way.
   
9. Shut the door and check for gaps. The seal should lie straight and smooth all the way around the door.
   
10. Notice if there are gaps between the gasket and the frame - this may indicate that the door has warped. (Fix it by loosening the screws and twisting the door a little. You may have to do this a few times before you get the door straight.)
    
11. Put a flashlight in the freezer pointed toward the opening and shut the door. Turn off the lights. You shouldn't see any light leaking through.

There's a fault detected with the door lock and switch assembly. The door lock is not working or the door lock switch is not activated. This indicates that the door lock and switch assembly is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced to address the problem.

Disconnect power to the washer and open the door. Remove the door gasket retaining hoop by stretching apart the retaining spring at the bottom of the door opening. Using needle nose pliers, start where the spring and wire are connected and pull the wire out of the groove of the door gasket.



Remove the three screws securing the door lock and switch assembly to the front panel.



Gently peel the part of the door gasket near the door lock and switch assembly off the lip of the right side of the door opening. Remove enough of the door gasket to access the door lock and switch assembly behind the front panel.


Slightly lift the door lock and switch assembly then pull it back off the front panel and out of the cabinet.


Transfer the wiring harnesses to the new door lock and switch assembly one at a time then install it in place behind the front panel. Secure the door lock and switch assembly and put the eased part of the door gasket back into position over the lip of the door opening.

Check that the door gasket is properly seated before putting back and securing the retaining hoop around the lip of the door opening and the door gasket. Install the retaining hoop with the spring positioned at the bottom of the door gasket.

Both door gaskets are torn at the top, doors not closing. Where can I get new gaskets? How do I install them?

MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT USE TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE DOOR LINER, AS IT IS FRAGILE, AND HARD TO GET AND DIFFICULT TO INSTALL. JUST WORK YOUR WAY AROUND WITH GASKET SLOWLY, AND ONCE IT IS SECURED THEN CAREFULLY USE A HAIR DRYER TO REMOVE ALL CREASES AND ROUGH CONTACT EDGES ON GASKET AND LIGHTLY SECURE THE GASKET AS THE LINER IS PLASTIC/PVC. IF UNSURE GET A PROFESSIONAL TO INSTALL.

Good day,
Installed improperly will cause a warped door, and almost unrepairable.
First, lay the new gasket on the floor, and allow to warm up completely. Should be soft and pliable.

Unplug machine, and remove everything from the door.
Peel back inside of gasket. You will see screws.
Loosen all top and side screws ONLY HALF WAY DOWN EACH SIDE.
Peel off the old gasket from the top, and half way down each side only.

Take new gasket, and install across the top and half way down.
Tighten all the screws you loosened or removed FIRMLY.

Repeat this process on the lower half of the machine.
This process keeps the door aligned properly.

Be careful to allow the new door gasket to relax for at least a day before doing the installation. Take it out of the box and lay it out in a circle to help get any kinks out of it.

Also, when installing the new gasket, go slowly when stretching it over the edges of the washer drum and the door edge, being extra careful to make sure you align the gasket properly on the washer. You might want to take a digital picture of the existing gasket before you remove it, so you can refer to it when reinstalling the new gasket.

Some models have a port for the water inlet on the gasket, if your's does, install the gasket over the inlet first, then move onto the rest of it. If your's doesn't have a inlet port opening in the gasket, just be sure you have the gasket orientation correct.

Replacing a door gasket/boot is one of the things that most homeowners can do themselves and save yourself having to pay for a technician.

Here's a exploded line drawing of your washer, so you can see the parts and order of installation before you dive into taking things apart.

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

look at the door gasket, look underneath the gasket and you can see how it is attached. either with a clip or the plastic itself is the one holding the gasket. unscrew all screws holding the gasket, order a new one and install backwards. if there is no screw, there is a grouve in the plastic wall where you can insert the gasket. just slowly pull the gasket and push the new gasket in to the grouve.

thank you so much for this information it was a god send
