  • Reduces moisture escape that can cause drips or water spots on the outer door or nearby countertop
  • Helps limit condensation or musty odors from trapped moisture inside the door panel
  • Indicators of failure include visible wear or separation of the felt and moisture around the vent during operation
What's included: 1 felt door vent seal Install notes:
  • Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing the dishwasher
  • Remove the inner door panel to access the vent assembly
  • Note the seal's orientation; clean mating surfaces; seat the new felt evenly around the vent with no gaps
