Whirlpool Dishwasher Door Gasket Parts — Models & Compatibility

Water pooling under your Whirlpool dishwasher after every cycle? That worn door gasket isn't just annoying—it's wasting water and risking floor damage. This hub covers the W10082795 door gasket replacement for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Amana, and Roper dishwashers across multiple model series.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your dishwasher's model number before ordering. You'll find it on a sticker inside the door frame or along the side panel when you open the door. This gasket replaces part numbers WPW10509257, W10509257, 3376927, 3368994, and AP6022476—so if your original diagnosis sheet lists any of those, you're good to go.

About This Replacement Door Gasket

The door gasket creates a watertight seal around your dishwasher door. When it deteriorates or tears, you'll notice leaking—the primary symptom that brings most people to this part. The rubber material hardens over time from heat cycles and detergent exposure, eventually cracking at the corners or losing its compression along the bottom edge where water pressure is highest. Models like the DU810SWPQ0, DU850SWPS0, and the entire ADB1000 series are particularly prone to gasket wear after 5-7 years of regular use.

Compatible Model Series

This gasket fits across Whirlpool's dishwasher lineup from the mid-2000s through early 2010s models. The 7DP and 7DU series share the same door frame dimensions, as do most portable and built-in units from this era. If you've got a Kenmore 665-series dishwasher, check the actual manufacturer—many were built by Whirlpool and use this exact gasket.

Installation Overview

Replacing the door gasket doesn't require special tools. You'll pull out the old gasket from its channel around the tub opening, clean out any gunk or old adhesive residue, then press the new gasket firmly into place starting at the top center and working your way around. The gasket has a bulb edge that snaps into the metal channel—you'll feel it seat properly as you go.

Why Gaskets Fail

Door gaskets take constant abuse. Every wash cycle heats them up, every door opening flexes them, and detergent residue gradually breaks down the rubber compound. Bottom sections fail first because that's where water pools if your dishwasher isn't perfectly level. Corner tears happen when the door's opened too aggressively or when something catches the gasket edge. Once you spot visible cracks or feel the gasket has gone hard and inflexible, it's time to replace it before minor seepage turns into a kitchen flood.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my gasket needs replacing?

Check for visible cracks, tears, or hardened sections. Run your finger along the gasket—if it feels stiff instead of pliable, or if you see water on the floor after cycles, it's time for a new one.

Will this fit my Kenmore dishwasher?

Many Kenmore dishwashers were manufactured by Whirlpool. Check your model number against the compatibility list below, or look for the Whirlpool manufacturer code on your model tag.

Can I reuse the old gasket if I'm just moving the dishwasher?

If the gasket's still soft and intact with no tears, you can reuse it. But if you're already pulling the dishwasher out, inspect it closely—these gaskets rarely survive a move without damage if they're more than a few years old.
