I moved into this house 2 years ago and have NO idea how old the dishwasher really is. Works well but lately I notice water leaking out around the right bottom corner. The seal looks okay, but the rubber gasket in the corner between the door and the tub seems rotted. Can I get a replacement part? What is the part called?

I am very frugal. If I manage to find a replacement part, should I pay $5/mo for repair contract on the dishwasher (as I do selected other large applicances) or is it time to replace this baby? It does seem to run for a long time. Thanks for your guidance. Karen

The leak could be caused by a problem with the rinse dispenser or by a worn out corner seal. If the seal looks bad, dried out, etc., replace the seal. Otherwise, you'll need to take the door apart and see what's going on there.

Just so you know, this Jenn Air dishwasher was made by GE. A basic GE dishwasher with Hotpoint brand on the front will usually cost about $180-$200. But, if you do decide to get a new dishwasher, I strongly recommend going with a different brand like Whirlpool or KitchenAid - it's more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

I can't really advise on a repair contract. No idea what the details of it are.
