This part is the replacement tub gasket for your dishwasher. It is black in color and is made of rubber. The tub gasket fits around the circumference of your dishwasher tub, and creates a seal that prevents leaks. If your dishwasher is leaking from the tub, there is a good chance that the tub gasket is the issue. The gasket can stretch and become worn over time, and this can affect the seal. To replace the tub gasket, you can use a screwdriver to pry the gasket out of its groove, then carefully pull it away from the tube. Carefully fit the new gasket into place and your repair is complete. This part is sold individually and is an OEM part from the manufacturer.

Replaced inner door
Before you take anything apart, shut off the power. There is 110V in the door, and it’s pretty unforgiving.
The inner door assembly is manufactured with razor sharp edges all around. It is fastened w ... Read more ith approximately 11,000 Phillips screws, all of which fall under the dishwasher upon removal. The outer door will fall to the floor to indicate you have removed all the screws. Or, you could support the outer door, if you are smarter than I am.
Putting the new inner door on isn’t too bad. Mine was bent a little in shipping, but I bent it straight again, pretty much. I had my 19 year old son help hold it in place, so I could learn how “lame” this activity was. Once a couple of screws are installed, he can go back to sleeping 15 hours a day. Make sure the lower seal is aligned as you tighten the bottom screws.
Once you’re done, turn on the power and run the dishwasher. You’ll learn that the leak is due to a clogged discharge hose, and you just burned an hour an $104.
