Repair & Advice
After watching a video on the internet, I thought this would be a simple repair. It was, but for the fact that my model is different from any shown online. I had to remove the hinge with the door attached, but that was simple and the door isn't heavy. After removing all the screws around the back of the door but 2, we realized there were two screws for which you need a star key tool. We borrowed one and then realized there was another regular screw hidden behind the labels on the door. Once we freed that one, the gasket went on beautifully (we did not use glue although there was some used originally). Everything went back together. The hinge hooks into the wall of the machine so one person can remove it (after removing the screws) and reinstall it (then replacing the screws) alone. The gasket was perfect and has been performing well.
If you have the right tools, this is a very easy repair
