Hello Kev;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.

The number that you have provided is your general manual number, which is common to several different models.

Your model number is on the upper inside wall, on a label in your fresh food section.

I have replace many a gasket. Post your model number and I will be glad to help you.

IF it is possible for you to perform this refrigerator repair, it will depend on one thing, whether or not you have screws located underneath your door gasket. Open your freezer door, and grab the inner side of the gasket, away from the door edge, and peel the gasket back, towards the edge of the door. If you have several screws down the length of the door, you can remove the gasket and door liner, and the fiberglass insulation, but you wont be able to remove the foam insulation. If you only have a couple of screws or none at all, you have what they call a foamed in liner and gasket, and disassembly, and more importantly, reassembly, is extremely difficult, moreso for a DIYer.

you h ave a project in front of you. you are going to have to remove the door entirely from the cabinet, including electrical and water line connections. you will then have to remove the inner door liner and gasket, to access behind the dispenser module. you will need to pull the line out from the bottom, carefully, and replace with new water line, then replace gasket and liner, and reattach door.

Good luck.

Isolate power from device, remove screws to free back panel.

Loosen strainer for oven liner on left and right sides and remove clip to allow oven liner to slip forward.

Remove screw on front central upper clip.

From front, move oven liner forward a few millimetres to release gasket. Here you see the strainer at the rear has moved forwards a few millimeters.

Remove the old perished seal.

The new seal/gasket part number 573263 is installed. Reverse dismantling procedure to complete reassembly.

It has a clamp I beliece and it just slides out but you can go to appliancepros.com online and look up that model and it will show you exatly where the screws are if there are any. Most have screws in the corner onlt and others have none at all, and if you don't have the gasket you canorder it there also.

this are the possibilities for the leak :-----
Door gasket loose/torn
Corner gaskets or door baffle/vent gasket
Door lock/latch loose/broken
Split spray arm
Over filling with water...usually the level is just under the heating element is normal
Something leaking through the door...like the soap or rinse agent dispenser gasket, silverware basket button.
Door hinge(s) bent
Wrong soap was used...dish sink soap instead of dishwasher soap
Rinse aid being used with mechanically softened water ( makes foam or suds inside the dishwasher )

Leaks from under the unit:
Look for whiting or calcium stain on the motor and pump assembly = motor and pump assembly seal leak...access panel removal help
Hose for upper spray arm split
Fill hose split or fill hose spout air inlet is calcium covered
Drain hose is split
Rusted liner...metal liners only
Fill valve leaking or allowing water to fill all the time
Heating element ends....where they come out through the dishwasher liner
Float or float gasket.

Yes you can do this yourself with just some basic tools and a little patience and assistance.

You'll need to remove all food from the freezer as it will take at least 45 minutes or longer, depending on how well you do.

If you roll back the door gasket, you'll see the fasteners that hold the gasket in place. Remove these starting with the ones on the bottom edge and then the sides. Finally, remove the top ones, leaving the two top corners for last, that way you can have someone help hold the door liner, so it doesn't drop to the floor and get damaged.

I would also suggest that a day or so before you're going to do the repair, that you let the new gasket lay out on a floor somewhere where it can't get damaged so it will relax and get most of the kinks out of it from shipping, etc.

Then simply put the gasket onto the door liner and reinstall all the screws back onto the door frame.

You can find your gasket part at www.searspartsdirect.com by entering in your model number for your unit and looking at the drawings and parts list provided.

Hope you've found this very helpful and best regards!

There are 2 clips that hold the Ice plus on. 1 top left, and 1 on the right side.
Slightly pull up on the front of each clip and remove the controller. most likely behind this you will find a gear that is broken and may fall out of the unit. As usual you can not buy just the gear. Contact Whirlpool for the replacement gear assembly.

Nick, this is a bear of a job. You may just wanna have fun at parties after all is said and done! 1.) Remove the door from the unit. at the top hinge, remove all screws and disconnect all wiring. Tilt the door toward you and lift it off the bottom hinge. Lay it on the floor handle down. 2.) Remove the liner. Peel the door gasket back a little... see all those 1/4" screws? They have to come off. (*NOTE---> note how the door gasket fits/tucks into the liner, it'll have to go back that way) After the liner is off, you'll see the back side of the dispenser area. Make a note of how all of the insulation and the wiring is located, then remove all of it. There you go! Good luck with it. Speaking of parties, you could actually invite your friends over and make a "drinking game" out of this one... someone takes a drink every time they moan and say "how does this go, again?" or "#%@^!**". Then again, maybe not... 'cause once you start, you HAVE TO finish. Otherwise the freezer would be open and you and all your friends would most likely be passed out on the floor 'til mid-morning! Moral of the story? Don't drink and do this job.
