Customer Questions and Answers for Gasket by Whirlpool

Hello Ham, check the groove is clean and dry, as this is a friction fit, next try warming the gasket using a hair blow dryer, once installed close the door and run the longest,hottest cycle the dishwasher has to set the gasket.

Bob, The gasket would not be glued into place and you will want to make sure that the ridges face out when the gasket is installed.

Norm, You don't have to buy a new dishwasher, On the other hand, you can't purchase a "whole new complete door", either. First check the lower frame, where the door hinges pivot of the hinge pins, make sure they're not bent or deformed too bad. Then you can order the inner door panel and hinges, tweak the outer door panel back into shape and transfer the original parts to the new door liner and you're back in business.

Hello Stephen. You will need to order WP9743590 for the door gasket needed for the unit.

Dave, Yes the door gasket kit W11196317 would be the correct part to order.

Andrew, Check and make sure the dishwasher is level in both directions. Check or replace the detergent and rinse agent. Older chemicals can "separate" and degrade and will "foam" during the cycle, and cause the machine to leak. Lastly check the float [AP292084] make sure it's not "sticky" and may be allowing the machine to overfill.

Andrew, It sounds like the door seal may not be installed properly and the door seal may be running under the door in the lower corners. If this is occurring then it will cause the door to no close properly. There was an instruction sheet that came with the part that you will want to make sure that the door seal is installed per the instructions.

Hello Rich, The door gasket kit W11196317 is the part that prevents water from splattering all over the kitchen. The outer frame seal W10864081 keeps things from getting past the edge of the dishwasher into the cabinet space. If I understand the question correctly, this should answer your question.

Hello Todd. The bottom nuts 8268548 unscrew off the heater from under the unit. Then you will lift the heater and replace the washers WP717273 to prevent the unit from leaking.

Derek, There are several checks to make, and the issue could be "normal" Check the water temperature on the first fill of the cycle, after you've run the hot water faucet for a minute or so. The water temp. should be a minimum of 120 dgrs and a Maximum of 130 dgrs.F. You'll need to slide the dishwasher out and check the air/water inlet on the side of the tub. and check the articulated vent operation.If all checks OK, then some moisture in the cabinet is normal.
