Product review (5 stars): Although a Whirlpool it sure fixed my Kenmore.
I was surprised at how deteriorated the original seal had become. There were little black spots showing up on the dishes from decomposing rubber. This Whirlpool part number was cross listed for my Kenmore (not uncommon as Sears bought from Whirlpool) and it was a perfect match. Getting to the &#$%!! seal was not easy, but I did it without taking the dishwasher out. It would have been a lot easier if I had, but then I would have had to deal with the electrical and water lines. It is a trade-off. There are some good YouTube videos on how to replace the part. The old seal was falling apart in my hands once I removed it from the machine. I replaced it none too soon in my opinion and saved a BUNCH on money compared to having a service call or buying a new dishwasher. Thank you, Amazon.
