The Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. As a crucial door component, it ensures a tight fit that prevents leaks and contains the necessary heat and moisture during operation.
Symptoms of a bad seal can include cracks, tears, or looseness allowing water to escape during cycles. Deterioration from chemical exposure or repeated flexing over time is common.
Causes of a bad seal include general wear and tear, damage from improper loading of dishes, or accidents like sharp objects puncturing the material.
Symptoms of a bad seal include:
- Puddles or pools of water found beneath the dishwasher after cycles
- Wet floors and surfaces surrounding the dishwasher
- Steam or moisture visible escaping during heating phases
- The door not closing or latching properly
This OEM Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
