I have a 20+year old JennAir JDB1250AWS dishwasher.
It runs very quiet, but while recently pulling it apart to clean out the filters, I see the large circular gasket (#10 in diagram) is showing it's age...getting soft and distorted,
While most of the parts have been discontinued, I purchased a gasket set a while ago.

How do I replace the #10 gasket? Is this serviceable from inside the dishwasher...just pull off/press in?
Or does the unit have to be pulled out and work from the underside?

You could probably buy all the parts but is it worth it ? I just replaced a 25 yr old GE profile that was worn out with a $800 out the door Bosch 300 model. Holds 1/3 more dishes and is more energy efficient. Stainless steel interior and took 30 minutes to install because of how friendly it’s designed.

Hey gotta give you credit most people don't know to clean the filters that saves the pump
 
This one does not have a removable filter, so you have to dismantle a few components to get at the screens etc.
I found all kinds of gunk in there...pieces of plastic, nuts, threads wound around the macerator.
I used a pick, a shop vac and a fish tape down the drain hose. As well as a few cycles with vinegar.

It really quieted down the pump, which earlier sounded like it was struggling.

If any key components wear out, I am stuck. They are all discontinued after 23 years.
Since I have the gasket, I may as well put it in. Just don't want to screw up by doing it wrong.
