Customer Questions and Answers for Dishwasher Door Gasket by Whirlpool

Best Seller
Manufacturer Part
4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18040818
Manufacturer Part Number: WP902894

The Whirlpool Dishwasher Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It provides a watertight seal around the door to prevent water leaks during the wash cycle.  With a length of 66.5 inches, this part forms an airtight seal around the dishwasher door, preventing water leaks during operation.

Causes of a bad door gasket can include cracks and breaks developing from repeated exposure to temperature changes during wash cycles. Over time, rubber perishes leaving gaps that compromise the seal.

Symptoms of a failing door gasket:

  • Water pools on the floor in front of the dishwasher
  • Dishes remaining wet after a full cycle
  • Visible cracks or tears in the rubber

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

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dishwasher Door Gasket (Part Number: OEM18040818)

1 Answer

Hello Donna. Check and make sure there is not to much soap inside the tub assembly. Try running the dishwasher empty and open the door and see if there is alot of suds inside the unit. If so, the suds are causing the unit to leak. If there is no suds, you will need to remove the toe panel and see if the water is leaking from the gasket. You can use a flashlight to watch for the leak and see where it is coming from. If the gasket is leaking, replace the gasket WP902894. Hope this helps.

Cliff, It's a simple procedure, first, make a note or mark the tub at the ends of the gasket on the bottom of the tub opening. Grasp the end of the gasket on either side of the tub and slowly pull the gasket out of the channel formed in the tub front. Start at one end/side of the tub and press the new gasket into the channel, Do Not, stretch or twist the new gasket during the installation and you want to use a small , flat metal or plastic tool to press in and firmly install and seat the gasket in the channel. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Jim. You will need to look and see if the O-ring WP99002003 on the dispenser is bad and is leaking. If so, it can cause the door to leak out of the bottom. Hope this helps.
