Prompt shipping of the part required (Haier HDW100WCT Dishwasher Lower Door Seal). This part is normally unobtainable even when new, other appliance repair people will say "can't be fixed, buy a new dishwasher" because the whole inner door usually needs to be replaced and they are not made anymore.It wasn't easy to install (and I can see why replacing the whole door is vastly preferable if you can get one), but the part was exactly right from Home Appliances Online, and I did get there in the end.Tip for people doing the same. Take the outer door panel off, take the upper door control panel off, unscrew the door hinges, there is 2x nut and screw for each hinge use a screwdriver and spanner (don't just try turning the nut, the screw is not captive). Remove the door from hinges and put inside-down on floor.Remove old seal, then prise up the edge of the aluminium that the seal was gripped into, open it up almost 90 degrees using pliers, slip on the new seal and sort of roll it in place, then with the door panel flat on the floor using a small block of wood and hammer peen over the (now hidden in the rubber) aluminium edge to pinch the seal in place. Peen it real good. Reassemble. I think it does not have to seal perfectly as the seal sits on the inside of the tub anyway. it seems to mostly be to prevent crud and copious amounts of water and steam.Be careful as the aluminium edges are SHARP.
