How to Replace the Door Gasket on a GE Adora

General Electric Adora front-loading dishwashers have a large rubber gasket that connects to the drum and front panel of the washer and suctions itself to the door when the door is closed to help prevent leakage when the machine is in operation. If you notice water coming from the door, you should consider removing the door gasket to inspect it for any damage, such as a rip. You can then manually replace the gasket with a new gasket, which you can order from the manufacturer or an online retailer.
