Hi,
I have a Bosch SHS6902 dishwasher – around 6 years old.Water is now starting to leak out of the front occasionally. I’ve
removed the front panel and can see the lower door seal is coming away
from the lower aluminium lip at the base of the door, and water is
bubbling in the “gulley”. (on the inside the rubber can just about be
felt)Can anyone confirm the replacement process for the door seal – either
trying to reseat/adjust the existing one, or for a new one. Is the
seal glued, or just sits in place? I just want to get some direction
before I order a new seal and/or remove the old one (which if I screw
up renders the dishwasher unusable).I can’t imagine it’s that difficult. hints/tips welcome.
Hi PF1,
Leakage for the front can very often be cured by giving the lower seal a damn good clean!From your description, I assume you have removed the door outer panel. Things to check –
1) Is the lower seal lying flat across the bottom, or is it creased and rucked? If the latter, it may well leak at the corners.
2) Check the dispenser – these can be so and so’s for leaking around the edge.The seal is a push on fit, but if I recall the replacement is slightly different (a typical company case of “We know it’s wrong, but we’re not going to tell you ’til it does go wrong”).
Check the model number though – I can’t make SHS register. Look on the top edge of the door inner panel or around the inner casing at the top.
Dave can probably give you prices in the morning if you can check the numbers.
Regards,
Penguin45.
