Kenmore / Sears Dishwasher Gasket & Seal

This coupler gasket creates a tight, leak-resistant seal at a coupler connection point, helping maintain proper operation of the assembly. Replace when the original gasket is worn, cracked, or flattened to prevent drips and seepage.

• Forms the seal between a coupler and its mating component
• Helps prevent water seepage and air intrusion at the joint
• Supports correct flow/pressure through the connection
• Common symptoms: drips at the fitting, moisture around the coupler, or needing to over-tighten to stop leaks

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Relieve line pressure and place a towel to catch residual water
• Clean mating surfaces; seat the gasket squarely in the coupler recess
• Tighten fittings evenly; restore service and check for leaks

This sump gasket seals the connection between the dishwasher tub and the sump/pump assembly. Replacing a flattened or cracked gasket restores a watertight barrier to help stop leaks from the base and protect floors and cabinetry.

• Creates a seal between the tub and sump to contain wash water
• Helps prevent leaks during fill, wash, and drain cycles
• Replace if the gasket is cracked, brittle, deformed, or compressed
• Common symptoms: water under the dishwasher, dripping from the base, moisture around the toe-kick

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply; pull the dishwasher out if needed for access
• Access the sump area (often by removing the lower rack, spray arm, and filters); note gasket orientation
• Clean mating surfaces; seat the gasket evenly without twists. Do not use sealants unless specified by the manufacturer
• Reassemble and run a short test cycle while inspecting for leaks

This seal kit restores a tight, insulated barrier around a window air conditioner. Replacing worn or missing seals helps block gaps and drafts, reduce noise and vibration, and maintain efficient cooling performance.

• Remove old foam and adhesive; clean and dry surfaces before applying new seals
• Measure and cut seals to length; avoid stretching or compressing the foam during install
• Press firmly to ensure full contact; follow your model's installation guide for placement

This inlet/outlet seal creates a watertight barrier where two water passages meet in your appliance. Replacing a worn seal helps stop leaks at the connection and maintains proper water flow and performance.

• Forms a tight seal at an inlet/outlet connection to prevent water leaks
• Helps maintain correct water flow and pressure through the system
• Common signs of failure: drips or pooling water near the unit, visible cracks, flattening, or deformation of the seal
• Can resolve recurring leaks after reassembly of water-line connections

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Access the connection point and note the seal's orientation
• Clean mating surfaces; seat the new seal evenly without twisting
• Reassemble, restore water/power, and check carefully for leaks during a test run

Size: 1-1/16 x 5/8 inch. Used for fill hose. For a 4 pack order 285448A

This felt door vent seal fits around the dishwasher's door vent to help contain steam and moisture within the inner door. Replacing a worn seal helps prevent minor leaks and condensation around the vent area during cycles.

• Creates a gasket between the vent assembly and inner door panel to keep steam directed through the intended vent path
• 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

• 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
• Reassemble and run a short test cycle to check for leaks at the vent area

Located between the console and door

This vinyl door seal lines the perimeter of the appliance door to help block air and moisture leaks, cushion the close, and maintain proper operation. Replace a worn seal to restore a tight, quiet, reliable door closure.

• Creates a continuous seal around the door opening to reduce leaks
• Helps contain air and moisture and dampens door vibration
• Replace if the seal is torn, cracked, flattened, or coming loose
• Symptoms include gaps or drafts at the door, noise, or visible wear

• Disconnect power; for gas appliances, also shut off the gas supply
• Remove inner door panel/trim as needed to access the seal area
• Remove the old seal and clean the mounting surface of residue
• Install the new seal without stretching; if your model uses adhesive, apply per instructions and allow proper cure time

This gasket creates a watertight seal at its designated connection point in the dishwasher, helping keep wash water contained throughout the cycle. Replacing a worn seal helps stop nuisance leaks and protects nearby cabinetry and floors. What it does:

• Forms a tight, leak-resistant seal between mating dishwasher components
• Helps keep wash water inside the tub to maintain proper cleaning performance
• Wear, flattening, or tears can allow drips or pooling during/after cycles
• Common clues: visible damage, moisture at the mounting area, or water on the floor near the unit

• 1 gasket

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Access the gasket location per your model's service information; note the old seal's orientation
• Clean the channel/mating surfaces; seat the new gasket evenly without stretching or twisting
• Reassemble and run a short test cycle to check for leaks

This factory washer is used in appliance assemblies to distribute load under a fastener and maintain a secure, accurate fit. Replace a missing or damaged washer to restore proper stack-up and reduce vibration, noise, or loosening.

• Distributes load and provides proper spacing in the fastener assembly
• Helps keep bolts, screws, or nuts tight to minimize vibration and rattling
• Direct replacement when the original washer is worn, bent, cracked, or missing
• Typical signs include loose panels/brackets, recurring looseness after tightening, or new vibration after service

• Unplug the appliance; shut off water supply if working near hoses or valves
• Note the original hardware stack-up and reassemble in the same order
• Inspect mating surfaces and companion hardware; replace any damaged parts
• Tighten fasteners snugly per service guidance; avoid overtightening

This replacement door gasket creates a tight seal around the refrigerator door to help maintain proper temperature and reduce energy loss. It restores the seal where the original gasket is torn, warped, or no longer sealing. What it does:

• Seals the refrigerator door to keep cold air in and warm air out
• Helps prevent frost buildup and uneven cooling in the compartment
• Reduces energy use caused by a failing door seal
• Commonly used when the existing gasket is cracked, stretched, or no longer sealing

• Remove power to the appliance before starting any work
• Clean the door mating surface thoroughly before installing the new gasket
• Press the gasket into the door channel, starting at the top and working around the perimeter for an even fit
• If necessary, warm the gasket gently (per OEM guidance) to help it seat; avoid open flames or excessive heat

This O-ring seals the turbidity sensor assembly to help keep water contained and the sensor functioning properly. It's a small replacement seal for maintaining a watertight sensor connection and reliable turbidity readings. What it does:

• Seals the turbidity (water clarity) sensor housing to prevent leaks into the sensor area
• Helps maintain correct sensor operation so the control can monitor wash water clarity
• Restores a proper seal after sensor removal or repair

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove the sensor assembly per manufacturer instructions; replace the old O-ring with the new one, ensuring it seats evenly in the groove.

Causes of failure involve mineral buildup, cracks from repeated use, or degradation of adhesive over time compromising the seal. 

Symptoms of a faulty seal assembly include: 

• Puddles or leaks from beneath the door frame
• Higher water consumption or longer cycles   
• Increased noise levels during operation

This OEM Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with select KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and other brands.
