W11683627 – Dishwasher Leaking from the Door? Your Door Gasket Has Failed.
A worn or cracked dishwasher door gasket is one of the most common causes of water pooling on your kitchen floor after a wash cycle. The door gasket creates an airtight, watertight seal around the door opening — when it hardens, tears, or pulls away from the channel, water escapes every cycle. Left unaddressed, it can damage flooring, cabinetry, and the dishwasher itself. This is the OEM Whirlpool replacement door gasket, part number W11683627.
Is This the Part You Need?
This is the door seal / tub gasket that runs around the perimeter of the dishwasher door opening. It is a flexible rubber or silicone seal that compresses when the door closes to prevent water from escaping. If your dishwasher is leaking from the door edges or bottom, this gasket is the first part to inspect.
Symptoms of a Failed Dishwasher Door Gasket
- Water leaking from the bottom or sides of the dishwasher door during a cycle
- Puddles on the floor after running the dishwasher
- Visible cracks, tears, or hardening in the door seal
- Gasket pulling away from the door channel or frame
- Musty smell from moisture escaping the tub

💡 Pro Tip — Inspect the Door Latch and Hinges While You're At It:
A leaking door gasket is sometimes compounded by a misaligned door or worn door latch that prevents the door from closing with enough pressure to compress the seal fully. While replacing the gasket, check that the door closes firmly and evenly. If the door sags or doesn't click shut securely, the latch or hinge may also need attention — addressing both at once saves a second service call.
