Frigidaire Dishwasher Tub Gasket (Part # 154827601): Restore a complete watertight seal, prevent front door leaks, and protect your kitchen flooring with this Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dishwasher Tub Gasket. Measuring approximately 73 inches in length, this heavy-duty gray rubber weatherstripping seal presses directly into the outer channel perimeter of the dishwasher tub opening, creating an airtight and watertight barrier between the tub frame and the door.

Positioned around the top and sides of the tub frame, this gasket compresses tightly against the inner door panel when the door latch is engaged. It prevents hot water spray, steam, and detergent foam from escaping the wash chamber during high-pressure wash and heat-dry cycles.

If this part fails, the rubber can stretch, crack, harden, or become displaced from its mounting channel over time. This leads to common operating issues, including water dripping or pooling on the floor from the top or sides of the dishwasher door, steam escaping and causing cabinet moisture damage, or visible gaps and tears along the rubber seal.

Quick Info Compatibility: Precision-engineered for modern Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore/Sears, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, White-Westinghouse, and Crosley built-in dishwashers. Advanced Features: High-grade, heat-resistant molded gray elastomer rubber, flexible U-channel insertion rib, and a pre-measured 73-inch continuous length. Fixes Common Issues: Resolves water leaking from around the dishwasher door, steam escaping during drying, dry or cracked perimeter seals, and loose weatherstripping. Difficulty: Novice. A very easy 1-step DIY replacement that requires no tools and takes less than 15 minutes to complete.

💡 Critical Diagnosis & Prevention Tip: Before installing your new tub gasket, inspect the channel groove and find the exact center fold of the rubber seal! Pro Tip: Over time, food soil, grease, and hard water scale collect inside the tub channel. Before inserting the new seal (154827601), thoroughly clean out the channel groove with warm soapy water and a small brush. When installing, fold the gasket in half to locate its exact center point and press that middle point into the top-center of the tub arch first! Never stretch the rubber gasket while pressing it into the side channels, as stretching will cause the ends to bunch up or pull away from the bottom corners over time.

Step-by-Step Replacement Guidelines

1. Preparation: Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at your home’s main breaker panel for safety, open the door fully, and pull out the upper dish rack if necessary for clear access.

2. Remove the Old Gasket: Firmly grasp one end of the old rubber seal near the bottom corner of the tub and gently pull it completely out of the mounting channel frame.

3. Clean the Tub Channel: Wipe down the entire channel groove with a damp cloth and mild dish soap to remove grease, old debris, or mineral buildup.

4. Position the New Gasket: Fold the new OEM 154827601 gasket in half to find its center. Align this center mark with the top-center point of the dishwasher tub frame.

5. Install and Press into Channel: Press the center of the gasket firmly into the top channel groove, then work your way evenly down both sides toward the bottom. Ensure the rubber lip faces outward toward the door, and the insertion rib is seated fully without stretching or bunching. Close the dishwasher door firmly and leave it closed for a few hours to allow the seal to set and conform properly to the door edge.
