Whirlpool 4172127 Lower Door Seal Kit OEM Part

Replaced door lower seal and door gasket.

I nearly shelled out for a new Kitchenaid when I remembered APP and entered my model # just for fun. The interactive diagrams and install videos showed where all the parts "should" be, mine were badly disintegrated, so I replaced the damaged ones and swapped out all of the other easily accessible seals and bearings (also gave it a good and very disturbing cleaning). My parts surprisingly arrived next day and for about $40, the dishwasher is quiet and works like new again.

This was pretty easy. The door seal just slides off and on, so that took no time. Replacing the side water diverters took some time, but was fairly straight forward. The new ones are definitely an improvement over the older, stock, smaller ones. The springs are a little tricky to get back on and having to bend clips to remove the door is a little nerve-wracking, but otherwise this was not difficult.

Purchased the appliancepartsPros Kitchenaid seal kit and followed the utube instructions.

Replaced the bottom door seal and spacer blocks
