Seal
★★★★★
★★★★★
(13)
Part #W10864081
This is a seal, but you may also know it as a door gasket and it is for your dishwasher. The seal forms a watertight barrier between the door and the dishwasher tub, deterring water from escaping during a wash cycle. If your dishwasher is leaking you will need to replace the seal, as it is likely damaged. The first step should be to check the seal for buildup of food particles near the sides and the bottom of your appliance.

Dixon - For model number 66515112K218
November 21, 2024
Something failed in the lest hinge on this model such that, when the door is open, I can move it around what I would suspect is a hinge bushing. I checked and the sprint is attached on both sides of the respective door hinges. The symptom is/was that the door would not latch properly as I could start the dishwasher and it would run, but it would quit many times mid cycle. I understandf how the door latch and switch work, and they all work fine, but I do notice that if I position the door "just right" when I close and latch it, I can get the dishwasher to complete a cycle. Looking at the left hinge mechanism, it appears to be one large assembly, but, while the name sames probable, the picture of the "hinge bushing" does not look like the whole hinge part, neither does the "assembly drawing" explicitly show where it goes. I await your comment before I order parts, and let's face it, it is a pain for a 79 year old to pull the dishwasher out of a corner and move it around so I can replace it, although I've done much more with dishwashers, washers dryers and automobiles in my younger years!

I called an experienced plumber, who balanced and installed my new dishwasher properly, using the brackets I ordered from Parts Select, after an INEXPERIENCED plumber had tossed the factory-provided mounting brackets out with the shipping carton. Relief!

My filters had completely clogged up with hard deposits and food left on the dishes after running the dishwasher.

My filters had completely clogged up and had not cleaned my filters at all which was a no-no.I had lots of food left on the dishes after running my dishwasher, so I took bothp filters out and replaced them no tools required. I won’t be using powdered or liquid detergent for my dishwasher anymore only pods and promise to clean my filters once a month, so hopefully that’ll help keep them clean. Very easy replacement even for an old woman.
