Whirlpool Seal W10909089 OEM Part

The Lower Door Seal is an authentic replacement part designed for Whirlpool dishwashers and is compatible with models from Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. It also fits specific versions from Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Installed at the bottom of the dishwasher door, the seal provides a watertight barrier, ensuring efficient operation by preventing leakage during cycles. Measuring approximately 22 inches in length, this component plays a vital role in maintaining the appliance's performance.<br /><br />Due to regular use, the lower door seal may deteriorate from constant compression as the dishwasher door is opened and closed frequently. This process can cause the material to become rigid and lose elasticity. Additionally, exposure to high temperatures might result in the seal drying and cracking over time.<br /><br />Indications that it may be necessary to replace the lower door seal include water escaping from beneath the dishwasher door, difficulty in securing the door due to distorted seal edges, or evident signs of wear such as cracks and brittleness, leading to gaps that permit water seepage. This OEM part is also compatible with certain Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore models.
