Maytag Dishwasher MDBH985AWS0 Leaking

This dishwasher door seal fits into the tub channel to create a tight, water-resistant barrier when the door closes. Replacing a worn gasket helps stop nuisance leaks and restores proper door compression and moisture containment.

• Creates the primary seal around the dishwasher tub opening when the door is closed
• Helps keep wash water, suds, and steam inside the wash cavity
• Wear can lead to drips at the front corners or along the sides
• Replace if the gasket is cracked, torn, flattened, or no longer sealing; the door may be harder to latch

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the old gasket and thoroughly clean the channel of debris and residue
• Warm and relax the new gasket; start at the top center and press evenly into the channel without stretching
• Close the door for several hours to help the seal set; run a test cycle and check for leaks

This seal sits at the dishwasher's air/water inlet, creating a tight barrier where the inlet assembly meets the tub or door. Replacing a worn seal helps stop nuisance leaks and supports proper fill and venting performance. What it does

• Forms a watertight seal at the air/water inlet connection
• Helps prevent drips or seepage during fill and wash
• Supports correct venting to keep moisture contained inside the tub
• Common failure signs include water on the floor near the unit, dampness around the inlet/vent area, or a cracked, flattened, or brittle seal

• One air/water inlet seal

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Access method varies by model; remove the inlet/vent cover or side panel to reach the seal
• Clean mating surfaces; seat the new seal evenly without distortion
• Reassemble and run a brief fill/wash to check for leaks

This dishwasher drain hose channels wastewater from the pump to your home drain or air gap. Replacing a cracked, kinked, or clogged hose restores proper draining performance and helps prevent leaks or water backing into the tub. What it does:

• Routes wastewater from the dishwasher to the household drain or air gap
• A damaged, kinked, or blocked hose can cause slow/no drain, standing water, or leaks
• Visible splits, soft spots, or persistent odors/backflow are common signs the hose should be replaced
• Restores reliable draining and helps protect surrounding cabinets and flooring from water damage

• 1 drain hose

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Pull the dishwasher forward and place a towel or pan to catch residual water
• Match the original routing and maintain a proper high loop or air gap per local code to prevent backflow
• Secure connections with clamps, ensure the hose isn't kinked, and run a test cycle to check for leaks
