How to Replace the Door Seal on a Bosch Dishwasher DHX Series

If you notice water leaking from the door of a Bosch DHX series dishwasher, then you most likely have a broken door seal. The door seal is a long, black rubber gasket that is actually connected to the front frame of the dishwasher and not the dishwasher door. However, the seal connects with the dishwasher door when it is shut to prevent water leaking from the unit. The door seal can easily be removed and replaced with a new part, which can be ordered from the manufacturer or purchased from an online retailer.
