Kenmore Elite Dishwasher Gasket & Seal

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.

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.

The Float Switch Base Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This gasket is specifically designed to seal the area around the float switch base, preventing water leaks that can occur during the dishwasher's operation. 

Causes of damage to the Float Switch Base Gasket often involve normal wear and tear, as the rubber or plastic material can degrade over time due to exposure to detergents, hot water, and the mechanical action of the float switch. 

Symptoms of a bad Float Switch Base Gasket include:

• Water leaking from the bottom of the dishwasher
• Signs of water damage or corrosion around the float switch area
• The dishwasher may malfunction or display error codes related to water filling issues if water leaks interfere with the float switch operation.

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

Causes of a bad tub inlet gasket include wear and tear from regular use, damage from harsh cleaning chemicals, or drying out and cracking due to age.  

Symptoms of a bad tub inlet gasket include:

• Water leaking from the front or bottom of the dishwasher
• Poor cleaning results due to insufficient water pressure
• Visible cracks or wear on the gasket
• Unusual noises from the dishwasher during the filling cycle

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