Josh September 02, 2017 for Model Number GSD4100J00WW I recently got new seal and gasket insert. I'm still leaking and I notice there are gaps between the insert and seal. Should those gaps exist or is that a problem? The seal looks to be the same size as the previous one and the original insert was missing entirely so I'm unsure if this is how it is supposed to be.
1 Answer Josh, The "gaps between the insert and seal" shouldn't affect the operation or leaks from the door, as long as everything is installed properly. But you'll need to check the lower spray arm, for split seams and/or debris in the venturi openings, directing water towards the door seal. Make sure the lower spray arm moves/rotates freely without sticking anywhere in the rotation. Read More...
Pam March 02, 2015 for Model Number GSC3200F00BL Our aged leaked water. We ordered and replaced the door gasket and gasket insert and ran a load. It took a little more effort to close the door since the seal must be much better so I was sure it would solve the problem but it still leaks. Obviously there's something else wrong, but because of the age of the machine, a manual is no longer available. Can you give us a clue as to what could be wrong?
1 Answer Pam, The next thing to check is the spray arm assembly WD22X155. If there is a crack in the casing, a crack in the end of the spray arm, or debris partially clogging a jet opening, the water can be redirected down, and along the bottom of the door and "blow out" the bottom around the insert and leak. Also make sure the dishwasher tub is level, and filling properly (water should be 3/4 to 1 inch deep along the front of the tub opening). Read More...
1 Answer Hello Sam. There is a slot that the gasket insert will push into. To remove this insert you would just pull it straight out and push the new on straight in. Read More...
Joel December 15, 2013 for Model Number 363.15171000 Replaced the door gasket and corner baffles and discovered that the small center gasket was not in the unit perhaps this was the cause of my water leak. What would be the correct part number for that small door gasket for my Kenmore dishwasher P/N: 363.15171000?
1 Answer Joel, Based on your model number it does not appear that there is a center seal for the door. If yours does have on then it would use part number WD08X10015. Read More...
Carole October 24, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore dishwasher 363.1479580 We changed the seal but it still leaks. I do not know if this model needs the small gasket insert for the bottom of the door. Can u give me advise. Ty If I do can u give me the part no. We called sears parts and they gave us small seal no. 826345 but I can't find that anywhere.
1 Answer Hello Carole. Make sure the unit does not have to much soap in it. Also, make sure the float is not sticking and overfilling the unit. Read More...
John September 13, 2013 I am interested in buying GE dishwasher parts No. AP3798079, Door Gasket, and No. AP 2038876, Gasket Insert. The gasket installation is not a problem since it is covered in your video. Instructions for the Gasket Insert, however, are not provided. It appears from the part picture that it simply snaps into place. If that is correct, how is the old Gasket removed?
1 Answer John, There is a slot that the gasket insert will push into. To remove this insert you would just pull it straight out and push the new on straight in. Read More...
C.L. April 15, 2013 for Model Number GSD4030Y70ww Part Number: AP2038876 MFG Part Number: WD08X10015 When inserting the gasket insert, which way does it face? I know the 3 tabs point down, but does the top part go on the inside or outside of the gasket seal? I changed the seal, baffles, took the door liner off, cleaned excess detergent, inserted the gasket insert with the top part on the outside (closer to the bottom of the dishwasher), and still have a leak. When I took the door liner off, part of the black sponge along the inside bottom was compressed - can this be causing the leak? Can anything be done about this?
1 Answer C.L, The black sponge being depressed would not cause a leak. The Gasket insert top will go on the inside of the gasket seal. Read More...

Jenny November 28, 2012 for Model Number GDS5124DO2BB My dishwasher is leaking on the bottom. We replaced the gasket and gasket insert, however it is still leaking. The gasket insert is a little bigger on both sides so we aren't sure how it is supposed to fit. Should the excess go under the gasket or does it just sit out on top of the gasket? Please help!
1 Answer Hello Jenny, The issue may not be the gasket at all. You see, the door gasket goes around three sides of the door. The bottom has no gasket because it is an air gap used as an air intake for the dry cycle. In the case that the leak is from sloshing over the air gap, the issue could be either debris in the spray arm causing a "wave" in the water with each rotation of the spray arm, or an over soap situation where the suds are building higher than the air gap. Either way, water will drip from the corner of the door. The excess length of the door gasket just goes straight down, evened out from side to side. It kind of folds toward the front of the unit, but goes under nothing. Read More...
E April 27, 2012 for Model Number GSD4030z02WW THE GASKET INSERT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT HAPPEN TO BE A REPLACEMENT, NOT THE ORIGINAL. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO SOLVE IT?
1 Answer E, You may want to remove the inner door liner, so you can check and clean any debris that has developped on the bottom edge of the door liner, and make sure the insert has been snapped and locked in place properly. You'll need to remove power to the dishwasher and remove the six T-20 torx screws from the inner door liner to remove and check it. Thanks and Good Luick Read More...
