Whirlpool Dishwasher W11683627, Replaces c8a400
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.

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.
