Whirlpool W11177741 Dishwasher Door Gasket OEM Part

I called to ask about the correct gasket for the door. As VERY helpful lady suggested that it was probably a split arm spray. She was absolutely correct. I have used you web site for parts in the past and will always make it my first stop when ordering appliance parts.

My Whirlpool dishwasher was leaking out the bottom of the door. I replaced the gasket and the lower door seal. When I ran a test wash, it was still leaking. After reading more online, I found that it could be a cracked washer arm. The initial inspection of the washer arm looked normal but when I used my faucet to slowly pour water into the inlet of the arm, I noted that water was leaking through a seam and not just the holes where it should come out. I then tried running a wash without the lower washer arm in place and I had no leaks. I ended up ordering a new arm. Once that was installed there have been no leaks. My advice if you are having the same problem is to try removing the washer arm and start a cycle before you assume it is the seals. (my seals did not appear to be damaged but I assumed they were the problem) It might save you a bit of time.

I replaced the door seal, and that fixed the leak. Took about 5 minutes to do. Before ordering the seal, I had tried cleaning the seal with a sponge, leveling the dishwasher using the screws at its feet, and tightening all the torx screws around the door. None of those had fixed it; the seal was just bad.

Replaced gasket that runs along to and side edges of dishwasher (not on the door itself)

I bought a seal from APP. It arrived in an unbelievably short time. I watched a video on the replacement and it was done with no stress and in a short time. So glad for APP!
