WD08X10057 Dishwasher Door Gasket Seal with WD8X227 & WD8X228 Tub Corner Baffle

Key Features

• Precision-Molded EPDM Rubber: The WD08X10057 main door seal is manufactured from high-grade EPDM rubber, designed to maintain its flexibility and compression through thousands of high-heat "Sanitize" and "Heated Dry" cycles.
• Triple-Point Leak Protection: This comprehensive kit includes both the perimeter door gasket and the critical left (WD8X228) and right (WD8X227) lower corner tub baffles to prevent water from splashing out of the bottom corners.
• Enhanced Steam Barrier: Specifically engineered to create a watertight and steam-tight seal between the dishwasher door and the tub, preventing moisture from damaging your kitchen cabinets and countertops.
• Friction-Fit Installation: The main gasket features a standardized T-shaped base designed to press-fit into the dishwasher's tub channel without the need for messy adhesives or special tools.
• Anti-Microbial Construction: The non-porous rubber material resists the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria, helping to eliminate "dishwasher smells" and maintain a hygienic wash environment.

Compatibility & Fitment

This gasket and baffle kit is the standard replacement for most GE-manufactured plastic tub dishwashers produced over the last 20 years. Key compatible brands include:

• GE (General Electric): Fits hundreds of GSD, GHD, GDW, and GSM series models (e.g., GHD1106F00WW, GHD3515F00AA, GHD3525F00BB).
• Hotpoint: Compatible with various HDA, HDB, and HLD series budget-friendly dishwashers.
• Kenmore (363 Series): Fits many 363-prefix models produced by GE for Sears (e.g., 363.14352101).
• Note: Specifically for Plastic Tub dishwashers. If you have a stainless steel tub GE model (PDT or GDT series), your door seal will be a different part number (e.g., WD08X23476).

When to Replace

• Water Leaking from Bottom Corners: Small puddles forming on the floor at the front-left or front-right of the dishwasher, often caused by missing or cracked corner baffles (WD8X227/WD8X228).
• Steam Escaping from Door: Visible steam rising from the top or sides of the door during the wash or dry cycle, which can warp wooden countertops over time.
• Visible Gasket Damage: The rubber seal looks cracked, brittle, flattened, or has visible chunks missing from the perimeter.
• Door "Feeling" Loose: The door closes too easily without the usual resistance, indicating the gasket has lost its compression and is no longer creating a tight seal.
• Mildew Build-up: Excessive black mold or slime growing inside the gasket folds that cannot be cleaned, leading to persistent odors.

Installation Tips

• The "Warm Soak" Trick: Before installing, soak the new WD08X10057 rubber gasket in a sink of warm water for 10-15 minutes. This makes the rubber more pliable and helps remove any kinks from shipping.
• Clean the Channel: After pulling out the old gasket, use a small brush and a mixture of vinegar and water to thoroughly clean the tub channel. Any grit or old soap left behind will prevent the new seal from seating correctly.
• Find the Center: Fold the new gasket in half to find the midpoint. Start by pressing the midpoint into the top-center of the dishwasher tub channel and work your way down the sides evenly.
• Corner Baffle Alignment: The baffles (WD8X227/228) snap into the lower corners of the tub frame. Ensure they are pushed all the way in; if they are loose, water will bypass the door seal.
• The "24-Hour" Set: After installation, close the dishwasher door and leave it latched for at least 24 hours without running a cycle. This allows the new gasket to "take a set" and conform perfectly to the door's shape.
