How to Fix a Leaky Door in an LG LDF7810 24-inch Dishwasher

The LG LDF7810 is a 24-inch under-the-counter dishwasher designed for permanent installation in your kitchen. The dishwasher is available in black, white and stainless steel and features several wash cycles including "Normal," "Power Scrub," "Quick Wash" and "Delicate." The dishwasher door jamb has a flexible rubber gasket that forms a water-tight seal when the dishwasher door is securely closed. The seal ensures that no water escapes from the wash cavity during the wash cycle. After regular usage, the gasket will begin to deteriorate and water will leak from the door. To stop the leak, you must replace the gasket.
