Whirlpool W10909089 Dishwasher Lower Door Seal OEM Part

My Whirlpool dishwasher was leaking out the bottom of the door. I replaced the gasket and the lower door seal. When I ran a test wash, it was still leaking. After reading more online, I found that it could be a cracked washer arm. The initial inspection of the washer arm looked normal but when I used my faucet to slowly pour water into the inlet of the arm, I noted that water was leaking through a seam and not just the holes where it should come out. I then tried running a wash without the lower washer arm in place and I had no leaks. I ended up ordering a new arm. Once that was installed there have been no leaks. My advice if you are having the same problem is to try removing the washer arm and start a cycle before you assume it is the seals. (my seals did not appear to be damaged but I assumed they were the problem) It might save you a bit of time.

Bottom door seal.

Ordered the bottom door seal and it came with the exact video instruction of how to replace it, which was AMAZINGLY helpful. Once it was installed, the leak was fixed. Also the part arrived in like 2 days, very fast.

Replaced inside rubber door seal and door bottom seal. The bad seal was only slightly damaged but enough to leak. Looking at the slight damage I would never have guessed it would cause the leak. The bottom door seal was a pain in the neck. Getting the screw holes lined up was tedious even with taping seal in place. My suggestion is to use a self tapping screw from bottom seal removed earlier and to start the screw in the seal to 'tap' the plastic. Do not screw all the way in just start it so that when seal is taped on place the screw will 'bite' easier when installing the bottom door seal . This will save lots of frustration.

Purchased the dishwasher door lower seal from Appliance Parts Pros and followed the Appliance Parts Pros You Tube Video.
