Dishwasher Leaking from the Door – Fix a Failed Door Seal Fast

When a Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, or Jenn-Air dishwasher leaks from the door, the door gasket is the most common cause. When it fails, water escapes during the wash cycle and pools on your kitchen floor — risking damage to cabinetry and subfloor. ⚡ Don't ignore a leaking dishwasher — water damage compounds fast. Part W11664713 is the genuine OEM door seal that restores a watertight barrier and stops the leak immediately.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ You have a Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, or Jenn-Air dishwasher
• ✔ Water leaks from the door during or after the wash cycle
• ✔ The gasket is visibly cracked, torn, hardened, or no longer springs back when compressed
• ✔ The door latch and hinges are aligned and functioning normally
• ✔ ONLY problem is water leaking around the door seal

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Water leaking from the door during or after a wash cycle
• Puddles on the kitchen floor in front of the dishwasher
• Visible cracks, tears, or hardening in the door gasket
• Gasket no longer springs back when compressed (compression set)
• Door feels loose or doesn't seal firmly when closed
• Musty odour from moisture trapped around the door frame
• Water staining or warping on cabinet panels beside the dishwasher

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing this door seal restores a leak-free wash cycle immediately.

⚙️ Installation Notes

Skill Level: Beginner (1/5) — 10–15 minutes, no tools required. Disconnect power to the dishwasher before starting. Open the door and pull the old gasket out of the channel around the tub opening. Clean the channel thoroughly — remove any mineral deposits, mould, or debris before installing the new seal. Press the new gasket into the channel starting at the top centre, working outward to each side. Ensure the gasket seats fully in all corners, especially the bottom corners. Do not force or stretch the gasket — it should seat naturally with firm hand pressure. Close the door and run a short cycle to verify the seal before reassembling.
