The Lower Door Seal is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This seal runs along the bottom edge of the dishwasher door, creating a tight seal against the tub when closed to contain water inside during cycles.  This seal measures approximately 22 inches in length

Causes of lower door seal failure commonly involve repeated compression stresses from opening/closing actions gradually stiffening the flexible gasket material. Drying out and cracking occurs over years of heat exposure as well.

Symptoms of a worn lower door seal include:

• Water leaking out from beneath dishwasher door during cycles
• Difficulty latching door completely from warped seal edges  
• Visible cracks, splits or brittleness along the length of the seal
• Gaps allowing water intrusion beneath door perimeter

This versatile OEM part is also compatible with select Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and some Kenmore dishwasher models.

The Circulation Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for pumping water through the spray arms to ensure thorough cleaning of dishes during the wash cycle. This motor helps maintain consistent water pressure and flow, crucial for effective dishwashing performance.

Over time, the circulation motor can fail due to factors such as motor wear, electrical issues, or blockages that cause the motor to overheat or become damaged. Regular use and the buildup of debris or hard water deposits can also contribute to motor failure.

Symptoms of a bad circulation motor include:

• Poor cleaning results
• Unusual noises during the wash cycle
• Water not circulating properly
• Dishwasher not completing cycles

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

The Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This gasket seals the gap between the dishwasher door and the main tub, preventing water from leaking out during the wash cycle. It ensures a watertight seal that helps maintain the efficiency and performance of the dishwasher.

 Over time, the gasket can deteriorate due to regular use, exposure to heat, and contact with detergents. A faulty gasket can lead to water leaks, which may cause damage to surrounding cabinetry and flooring.

Symptoms of a bad dishwasher gasket include:

• Water leaking from the bottom or sides of the dishwasher door
• Visible cracks or tears in the gasket
• The dishwasher door not closing properly
• Increased noise levels during operation

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

The Dispenser Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for holding and releasing detergent and rinse aid during the wash cycle, ensuring dishes come out clean and spotless. This assembly is designed to fit seamlessly into the dishwasher's detergent compartment, coordinating with the dishwasher’s cycles for optimal performance.

Over time, the dispenser assembly can suffer from wear and tear, clogs, or damage to its components. Such issues can impede the proper dispensing of cleaning agents, negatively affecting the dishwasher's cleaning efficacy.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser assembly include:

• Detergent or rinse aid not dispensing properly
• The dispenser door not opening or closing correctly
• Residual detergent left in the dispenser after the wash cycle
• Leaks from the dispenser area

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

The Pump and Motor Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This part is responsible for circulating water during the wash cycle and draining water at the end of the cycle.

Symptoms of a bad Pump and Motor Assembly include:

• Dishes remaining dirty after a wash cycle
• Water not draining properly from the dishwasher
• Unusual noises during operation
• Error codes related to water flow or pump performance
