- Commonly replaced when visible cracking, flattening, or hardening occurs
- Helps eliminate steady drips or pooling of water near the seal area
- Restores proper sealing after disassembly for service or part replacement
What's included: One O-ring seal Install notes:

- Remove surrounding components carefully to avoid damaging the seal seat
- Inspect the mating surfaces for debris or damage; clean before installing new O-ring
- Lubricate with a compatible, appliance-safe lubricant; do not use petroleum-based products unless specified
