The Cabinet Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This seal is crucial for preventing water leaks by creating a watertight barrier between the dishwasher tub and the door. It ensures that water stays inside the dishwasher during the wash cycle, maintaining the appliance's efficiency and protecting your kitchen from water damage.
You should replace this cabinet seal if it becomes damaged, worn out, or loses its elasticity. Causes of a bad cabinet seal can include regular wear and tear, exposure to high temperatures, or buildup of detergent and mineral deposits, which can degrade the seal material over time.
Symptoms of a bad cabinet seal include:
- Water leaking from the bottom or sides of the dishwasher door
- Visible cracks or tears in the seal
- Increased moisture or puddles around the dishwasher
- A loose or improperly seated seal
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
