Step-By-Step Instructions1
To replace the console seal in this kitchenaid dishwasher, you will need a t-15 torx bit.
2
Before you begin the procedure, turn off the power to the dishwasher.
3
Open the dishwasher door, and use the t-15 torx bit to unthread the eight side screws and the top right screw holding the inner and outer door panels together.
4
Unthread the top right door latch screw last.
5
With the screws unthreaded, you can lift the outer door panel up to detach.
6
If still intact, you can now remove the old seal.
7
To install the new console seal, keep the flat side of the seal facing inward as you align it on the top edge of the inner door panel.
8
Reinstall the outer door panel by sliding the side edges behind the retaining brackets, then lift the panel up to join it with the inner door panel.
9
Rethread the screws to secure.
10
The top right door latch screw should be threaded first.
11
That screw and the two upper side screws are longer than the six remaining side screws.

With all the screws secured, turn the power supply back on, and the dishwasher should be ready for use.
