The Door Gasket is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It forms a seal between the dishwasher door and tub which is critical for proper operation. The gasket ensures excess water and moisture do not leak from the dishwasher during active wash and rinse cycles. It also helps keep noise levels low by providing sound insulation. This gasket measures 3/8 x 89 inches. Common causes of a bad door gasket include regular wear and tear, exposure to high temperatures and detergents, or physical damage. These factors can cause the gasket to lose its flexibility and sealing capability. Symptoms of a bad Door Gasket include: Water leaking from the dishwasher door Visible cracks, tears, or deformation in the gasket The door not closing properly or securely Increased moisture around the dishwasher during or after cycles This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.Part Number WD8X229 (AP2038861) replaces 2019, AH263965, EA263965, PS263965, WD08M0013, WD08X0193, WD08X0214, WD08X0216, WD08X0220, WD08X0223, WD08X0229, WD8M13, WD8X193, WD8X214, WD8X216, WD8X220, WD8X223.
