Customer Questions and Answers for Lower Door Seal by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18102624
Manufacturer Part Number: W10909089

The Lower Door Seal is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This seal runs along the bottom edge of the dishwasher door, creating a tight seal against the tub when closed to contain water inside during cycles.  This seal measures approximately 22 inches in length

Causes of lower door seal failure commonly involve repeated compression stresses from opening/closing actions gradually stiffening the flexible gasket material. Drying out and cracking occurs over years of heat exposure as well.

Symptoms of a worn lower door seal include:

  • Water leaking out from beneath dishwasher door during cycles
  • Difficulty latching door completely from warped seal edges  
  • Visible cracks, splits or brittleness along the length of the seal
  • Gaps allowing water intrusion beneath door perimeter

This versatile OEM part is also compatible with select Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and some Kenmore dishwasher models.

Pmacgva for Model Number WDT750SAHZ0

My dishwasher is leaking from the left and/or right side but only close to the end of the wash cycle. While the leak is happening I can hear the dishwasher working and as soon as there is a change in the noise the dishwasher is making the leak stops. Sometimes it leaks once in a cycle, sometime twice. The seal looks good and it's been working away for years so I doubt it's suddenly not level anymore. The spray arm looks ok to me, is there a way to test it? What should I be looking for besides cracks in the spray arm?

Answer

It is not likely the spray arms as it only happens at random. Check for cracks or splitting where the spray is formed together. Then to test you set the spray arms to a set position and remember the position and check if the spray arms are in the same position when the cycle is finished. If one is set them again and check for a second cycle. If they do not move there could be a spray arm issue. I think you could have a diverter issue W10537869. You said that there is a sound when this occurs. Possibly the diverter motor/gears making noise and then not diverting properly. Your case could be a tough one to find the cause for but I would be checking that diverter.
