Asko Dishwasher 1500 - Lower Door seal replacement?How do I replace the lower door seal on the Asko 1500? The seal seems to have 5 screw holes however, the inside door panel doesn't seem to have corresponding screws. There are 2 screws on the door, but they are not within the thickness of the gasket/seal. Any help would be appreciated.

First, get the seal -- may take some on-line searching.
Also get some teflon tape, and a small tube of sealant.
Next, torx screwdrivers -- some of the screws are phillps, most are torx.
Take the kickplate and any cabinet face trim off (if you have a wood panel on the front). Digital pics as you go will refresh your memory later.
Run the machine through a cycle. Water might not be getting through at the seal, but somewhere else.
Eventually you will get to a place where the door parts come apart and you can pull the old seal out. (be careful of the wires that go from the cabinet to the door). Working the new one in is a wrestling match; you may need vaseline to get it to slide in from one end, and all the way across to the other side. It must have been a lot easier to put together in the factory.
While it is all torn apart, take the little catch for the soap door out and fashion a gasket out of the teflon tape. This is another leak place.
And, there are two screws, 6 inches or so up from the bottom (seal edge) of the door. goop them up with the sealant, this is actually the first place that the water comes through.
