The dishwasher tub seal prevents water leakage. The seal is fitted in a seal channel that
lines the rim of the dishwasher tub.
Removal and Replacement
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Grab one end of the dishwasher tub seal and peal it away from the seal channel
3. Reverse the above procedure to install.
Note: When installing the tub seal, make sure it is seated properly in the seal channel. Run
your finger over the seal to make sure it is smooth and even for a proper seal. A
correctly installed gasket will have both ends of the gasket equidistant from the bottom
of the tub.
The air breaker is mounted on the left side of the tub. Its purpose is to provide a method
of supplying water for the wash and rinse cycles. The air gap prevents the siphoning of wash
water from flowing back into the water supply system, should the water pressure drop to less
than atmospheric pressure. The water in the air breaker is used to regenerate the water
softener.
The air inlet allows air into the tub to permit air flow for dish drying. Also the air can
flow out through the air breaker.
