Did it myself on our dual-door Maytag. Could be that expensive. The seal for one door alone, off Amazon, was like $180 - $200 (and it did not come gold plated). But the job itself was easy to peal the old one off and install the new one. In my case the seal fit into a kind of track in the door (no adhesive). Something similar to how a screen in secured into a window frame.
