Whirlpool Dishwasher Door Gasket - WPW10497235

Whirlpool Dishwasher Bottom Door Seal - WPW10497235

Help stop leaks at the bottom of the dishwasher door with this genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Bottom Door Seal - WPW10497235. This bottom door seal helps seal the gap along the lower edge of the dishwasher door to keep wash water contained.

WPW10497235 is a genuine OEM Whirlpool dishwasher bottom door seal used when the original lower seal becomes worn, torn, or starts allowing leaks during operation. Current sources describe it as the seal at the bottom of the dishwasher door, and some secondary sources refer to it as a bottom door gasket or deflector strip.

Compatibility: Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Estate, Roper, Admiral, and select Kenmore dishwasher platforms

Fitment / What To Verify: Verify that you need the bottom door seal, not the full perimeter door gasket, before ordering. Bottom-strip seals and full door gaskets are different parts even when both are related to dishwasher leaks.

This part commonly replaces previous part numbers including W10497235 and W10195543.

Please confirm fitment with your appliance model number before ordering.

Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Water leaking from the lower portion of the door, poor lower-edge sealing, or repeated drips during the wash cycle.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Torn seal, flattened sealing edge, loose lower strip, or visible wear along the bottom of the door area.

Pro Tip: Inspect the door alignment and the condition of the full perimeter gasket at the same time. A worn bottom seal may leak together with other door-sealing issues.
