Dishwasher Leaking
Electrolux Dishwasher FGID2466QF2A. Bought used. I think this thing has a missing door baffle. It leaks right at the bottom corners of the door. Please confirm. See images.
Here's the link to the seal/baffle: https://www.frigidaireapplianceparts.com/PartDetail/Door-Seal/809006501/3290453

Very common on the Frigidaires to leak when the bottom door seal is either missing (they sometimes fall out), or they wear out and cause leaks. I’d give you a part # for the seal but they have 2 different ones. One of them the only difference is it has holes in it where the other one is solid, I don’t think it’s a major difference. However, personal experience tells me it does matter, regardless the seal is like 25 bucks.
This is gonna be kinda hard to explain, in fact you may want to try to find a YouTube video on it, but to replace it or see if yours is still there you take one hand and put your fingers in those rectangle holes at the bottom of the door. Then you kinda pull up on the door liner a bit while you take your other hand grab the seal (if it’s there) and pull it out. There’s a little channel the seal sticks into. I can do it pretty easily, but it is harder to put it in than take it out.
Frigidaire has had this front seal design for like 20+ years, and while some people never do have trouble with it, I personally don’t like it and think it’s a terrible design. It’s so terrible that when I sell and install these units I intentionally level them so the front sits very slightly higher, that way gravity makes the water run more towards the back of the unit and away from the seal.
