The Dishwasher Door Seal is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It provides a tight seal around the dishwasher door to prevent water, sound, and heat from escaping during the wash cycle. Measuring 71” in length (and stretching up to 75”), this door seal prevents water from leaking out during wash cycles.

Causes of a bad seal can include cracks, tears, or splits that develop due to regular use and age. Damage may also occur from over-tightening of the door or accidental impact.

Symptoms of a bad dishwasher door seal include:

• Water or moist air leaks around the door during a cycle  
• Higher energy bills due to hot air escaping
• Excess moisture or mineral deposits around the door seal area
• Food particles or debris trapped under a torn seal

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

The Diverter Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers controls the diverter valve, which directs water flow to various spray arms throughout the dishwasher during a wash cycle.

Causes of a bad Diverter Motor can include electrical failures, mechanical wear over time, or damage from water infiltration.  

Symptoms of a bad Diverter Motor include:

• Dishes not being cleaned properly due to insufficient water reaching all areas.
• Unusual noises coming from the dishwasher, which may indicate a struggling or stuck diverter motor.
• Error codes displayed on the dishwasher that are related to water distribution functions.
• Leakage from the dishwasher base 

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