Dishwasher Lower Door Seal

The Lower Door Seal is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part for Bosch dishwashers, also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and certain Kenmore models. This part is crucial for creating a water-tight seal around the lower section of the dishwasher door while it operates. Ensuring this seal is intact is vital for maintaining the containment of high-temperature water, steam, and noise within the washing compartment.

Over time, the seal may degrade due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures and cleaning chemicals, or it may sustain physical damage like tears or deformations from excessive door closure force. These issues can impair its effectiveness.

Indications of a failing lower door seal include water puddles or leaks at the base of the dishwasher, increased external moisture which can lead to mineral buildup or mold, and a failure to maintain adequate temperatures or pressure levels inside the dishwasher. Additionally, a compromised seal might allow noise to escape during operation.

Replacing a worn or damaged lower door seal is essential for optimal dishwasher performance and to prevent water damage and noise issues.
