Seals the appliance door to prevent leaks and keep the interior working as intended. Replace a cracked, torn, or hardened gasket to stop leaks, reduce odor and mold, and restore a reliable door seal. What it does:

• Forms a tight seal between the door and cabinet to prevent water, air, or heat loss
• Stops common symptoms like visible cracks or gaps, water pooling, and persistent odors
• Restores proper containment for cleaning, heating, or washing cycles
• Matches the OEM channel/retainer design for a secure fit

• Disconnect power and water before beginning any repair
• Remove the old gasket, thoroughly clean the mounting area, then seat the new gasket into the door channel or retainer
• Work the gasket evenly around the door; avoid overstretching and ensure all beads/clips are fully engaged
