Dishwasher Plastic Tub Gasket - WD08X23476

Ensure a watertight seal and prevent expensive floor damage with the WD08X23476 Dishwasher Plastic Tub Gasket. Also known as a door seal, this part creates a tight barrier between the dishwasher tub and the outer edge of the door. Over time, heat, detergent chemicals, and food particles can cause the rubber to become brittle, cracked, or flattened. If you notice water pooling at the base of your dishwasher or moisture escaping from the sides during a cycle, replacing the gasket is the most effective solution for restoring a leak-free operation.

Manufactured from high-grade, flexible vinyl, this gasket is specifically engineered for plastic tub models. Its durable material is designed to withstand repeated door openings and high-temperature drying cycles without losing its shape or sealing capabilities.

1. Safety First: Turn off the dishwasher and open the door fully. You do not need to disconnect the power for this repair.
2. Remove the Old Gasket: Grasp the old gasket at one end and pull it out of the channel around the tub. Note the orientation of the seal as you remove it.
3. Clean the Channel: Use a mixture of warm water and mild soap to thoroughly clean the groove where the new gasket will sit. Removing old debris and soap scum is essential for a proper seal.
4. Prepare the New Gasket: If the new WD08X23476 gasket has kinks from shipping, you can soak it in warm water for a few minutes to make it more pliable.
5. Install the New Seal: Find the center of the gasket and align it with the top center of the dishwasher tub. Press the gasket firmly into the channel, working your way down both sides. Do not stretch the material.
6. Check the Fit: Ensure there are no gaps or bunches. Close the dishwasher door and leave it latched for several hours to help the new gasket "seat" and take its proper shape.
