unemployedclaquerInstalling a dishwasher tub gasket
Yeah that’s exactly what I’m trying to do. You can see the groove in the pic. I suppose it’s just a bad or wrong part because it does not want to stay in there.
They can be a bitch, for sure.
The corners love to pull out, so last one I did I started with the corners and glued those fucker in with Goop adhesive. Waited for the glue to cure overnight, then put the rest of the gasket in (and glued it too for good measure).
Removed the filter and such for cleaning
PogogunnerI’m not very handy, so grain of salt here:
I’m thinking that the gasket you have isn’t the correct part (even if the third party says it is). I would double check the dishwasher model number, ensure you have the right gasket for that, and then order OEM if you were previously correct.
I think if you glue in the gasket, even if it holds, it would likely leak somewhere from not properly fitting.
you have the original, or did you order new retaining clips for the gasket? they are meant to hold the gasket in place.
Tried it every which way lol
It looks like the edge facing your camera should press into the lip in the dishwasher.
I would not trust 3rd party/aftermarket formed gaskets. Unless they used the original tooling it’s not going to be right.
You ain’t wrong. I hate dishwashers.
I’ve been having a hell of a time lately getting one part for my dishwasher. One company has twice sent me a box with the right part number on the outside and a different part in the box. I got fed up with them and ordered from another company and they drop shipped it from the first company so now I have 3 brand new wrong parts. This has been going on for over a month now and it’s driving me nuts.
Maybe they sent you the wrong part?

Found it via the “body” parts diagram from the link you posted.
Yes, that is what I ordered, though the OEM part is perpetually unavailable, but coming soon.
I once put a “gasket” on a dishwasher by cleaning the counter side, sticking a nice fat bead of rtv on there, greasing the door side so it wouldn’t stick, and closing the door for a few days. Dishwasher’s old as I am, fix was ~8 years back and holding strong
Nice, thanks
