How Do I Change a Bottom Door Seal on a Bosch Dishwasher?

If there is water leaking from the bottom of your Bosch dishwasher, you may have a broken bottom door seal. The door seal, also known as the door gasket, is a long rubber piece along the inside of your dishwasher to help prevent leakage. The bottom portion of the door seal can be removed at any time and replaced with a new bottom door seal part.
