The Gasket and Strike Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers, designed to ensure a tight and leak-proof seal around the dishwasher door. This kit includes a door gasket and a door strike, both crucial components in preventing water from leaking out during the wash cycle. 

Causes of a bad Gasket and Strike Kit can include normal wear and tear from regular use, leading to a loss of elasticity in the gasket.

Symptoms of a bad Gasket and Strike Kit include:

  • Water leaking from around the dishwasher door.
  • Difficulty closing the dishwasher door or ensuring it stays latched during operation.
  • Visible signs of wear, such as cracks or hardening on the gasket, or bending or damage to the strike.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Bob, the gasket listed for your model is part number W10542314. This surrounds the front tub, top and sides. It also includes the strike which now has to be replaced when replacing the gasket. Hope this helps, thanks!

Hello Richard, This unit does not have a bottom door gasket. If the unit is leaking from water sloshing over the tub, you should check for separated spray arms and/or clogs in the spray arms. Also check that the gasket in the feed tube assembly in case the upper rack has been adjusted recently or often.

Hello Scott! Yes, the gasket and strike kit W10542314 will work on your Whirlpool model GU2500XTPS6. If you are needing the clips for the rack plate, part number WP8562006, you'll need clip assembly part number 8193634. You pull the old one out of the track on the tub assembly and press the new seal into the track with the V side facing the inside of the track. Hope this helps you, thanks!

Hello Roger. Check the spray arms to make sure they are in good condition and not plugged up. Uneven spray can cause a door leak. If everything looks good then you may need to replace the door seal Part# W10542314

Hello Lisa. The door seal part # W10542314 is applied with the widest (sides ribbed) in first. This will insure holding. You will need to center the gasket and make sure both lt. and rt. ends match any length or gap to the bottom of the tub for a reference point. It is normal that it takes a dozen times of operating to get it "worn-in" again. You will get used to using both hands to open and close initially.

Sarah for Model Number WDT770PAYM2

The strike to my door latch broke, it is black plastic. The only ones that I can find online for this model are metal. I would love to have a metal one due to the chances of it breaking again are much less than if I replace with another plastic one. Here's the deal, they do not look the same. Not sure what to do....and I only need the strike, nothing else....and I don't see it listed by itself. Please advise. Thanks for your time & help. Kindly, Sarah

Sarah, the strike now only comes as a kit with the gasket. The part number is W10542314. This is a manufacturer replacement part and may differ in appearance but is a functional equivalent to the original. Thanks.
