How do you replace the door seal?

I have just repaired the same problem. The model number is located on a sticker on the right hand side of the door, just inside the lip. The parts that purchased for a total of $A75 were the main gasket and bottom gasket. The main seal can easily be removed, yanked out of the recess on the machine and replaced with part number 0208400069 (Door Gasket Assy). I just used my fingers to push the gasket into the recess, the sharp edge of the seal needs to be towards the inside of the machine to make a proper seal, I just started the process from the bottom righthand side and worked my way around the recess and it lined up perfectly on the other side, no stretching needed. The bottom gasket is trickier, you need to remove the two bottom screws from the side of the door that hold the hinge (only the two bottom ones), this will allow the door to swing up a little and remove the five screws that secure the gasket. The new gasket, part number 0188400012 (door bottom) can then easily be screwed onto the door bottom (five new screws provided). You will then need to put some downward pressure to push the door back in line with the screw holes for the bottom door hinge screws. This process took me no more than 30 minutes and I have run the machine several times and no leaks.
