Whirlpool Door Gasket W11196317 OEM Part

The Dishwasher Door Seal plays a critical role in preventing water leaks. This particular seal is compatible with multiple brands under Whirlpool, such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces parts suitable for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. Specifically designed as a genuine OEM replacement, the Black Rubber Dishwasher Door Gasket Seal effectively bridges the gap between the edge of the door and the opening of the dishwasher tub. Measuring 71 inches in length and 1 inch in thickness, it ensures the appliance remains watertight during operation. For proper installation, utilizing a putty knife is advisable to securely position the gasket in its designated slot.

After installation, it is beneficial to keep the door closed for a few hours to enable the new seal to conform to the door's shape. To achieve an optimal fit, consider warming the gasket, then closing the door firmly as it cools. This technique helps the gasket adapt precisely to the door, forming a dependable and snug seal.
