Customer Questions and Answers for Gasket by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18981909
Manufacturer Part Number: W11196317

The Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This gasket seals the gap between the dishwasher door and the main tub, preventing water from leaking out during the wash cycle. It ensures a watertight seal that helps maintain the efficiency and performance of the dishwasher.

 Over time, the gasket can deteriorate due to regular use, exposure to heat, and contact with detergents. A faulty gasket can lead to water leaks, which may cause damage to surrounding cabinetry and flooring.

Symptoms of a bad dishwasher gasket include:

  • Water leaking from the bottom or sides of the dishwasher door
  • Visible cracks or tears in the gasket
  • The dishwasher door not closing properly
  • Increased noise levels during operation

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Answer

Derek, There are several checks to make, and the issue could be "normal" Check the water temperature on the first fill of the cycle, after you've run the hot water faucet for a minute or so. The water temp. should be a minimum of 120 dgrs and a Maximum of 130 dgrs.F. You'll need to slide the dishwasher out and check the air/water inlet on the side of the tub. and check the articulated vent operation.If all checks OK, then some moisture in the cabinet is normal.
