W10909089 Whirlpool Lower Door Seal

The Lower Door Seal is a genuine replacement component for Whirlpool dishwashers, compatible with various brands including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it fits certain models from Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Positioned along the bottom edge of the dishwasher door, this seal ensures a secure closure by sealing the gap between the door and the tub, effectively preventing water from escaping during operation. The seal is approximately 22 inches long.

Over time, the lower door seal may fail due to continuous compression from the frequent opening and closing of the dishwasher door. This repeated stress can cause the seal material to harden and lose its flexibility. Exposure to high temperatures can also lead to the seal drying out and cracking.

Signs that the lower door seal might need replacement include water leakage from under the dishwasher door, difficulty in securing the door shut due to deformed seal edges, visible damage like cracks or brittleness, and gaps that allow water to seep under the door. This OEM part is also suitable for use with select models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and some Kenmore dishwashers.
