Customer Questions and Answers for Air Vent Gasket by Whirlpool

Hello Brasuca. It should not cause a leak. Take the inner door panel out to install the vent grill and look for where the water is leaking inside the unit. It could be a bad door seal, or to much soap, or to much water inside the unit. Check all of these on the unit.

Hello Alex, I would recommend to remove the screws securing the door liner and make sure the front seal isn't leaking. It just seems to me that if the seal you are looking at is leaking, the leak should run down the door liner back into the tub. If it is leaking, you will have to replace the complete vent assembly WP8545533 because the seal isn't available without the assembly.

Hello Robert, This is a push in style gasket. You want to remove old gasket. Then starting in the middle top of unit push gasket into place from the middle of gasket. Then work your way down each side.

Hello Jim. Remove the screws securing the inner door line, and unscrew the vent off the door panel. You can now access and replace the gasket WP8269259. The vent cover has tabs that twist to lock into place and twist to unlock. Hope this helps.
