WPW10195677 W10195677 Dishwasher Diverter Valve Diverter Motor Seal Grommet Gasket ，Compatible with Whirlpool, KitchenAid,Maytag and More.

As many reviewers have noted, the most difficult part of replacing this grommett gasket is removing the old one. I had to use a pointed hook tool and basically destroy the old one to remove it. So once i started with this project, i was at a point of no return! Fortunately the part fit and stopped the leak from the diverter motor. Be sure to save the metal spring from the old grommet to place into the new one. be sure to take photos of the situation before you remove anything so you remember how to put things back together. I recommend watching at least two You Tube videos on replacing this part by searching: "fix leaking dishwasher diverter motor seal replacement". It is pretty straightforward, but you don't want to mess up any steps.

Like others. I could see that water was dripping from the diverter motor. It definitely made sense to try replacing the grommet rather than buying a new diverter motor. I was surprised to find how hard it was to remove the old gasket. Having watched the a couple of videos on replacing the diverter motor, I found taking things apart inside the dishwasher to access the grommet to be very easy. It literally took one minute to get everything apart. That was the easy part. The hard part was getting the old grommet out. That was surprisingly difficult. I had good tools: various picks used for removing O-rings and such, but the grommet wouldn't budge. I then tried an ice pick, fine needle nose pliers, and a small screwdriver -- couldn't get the old one out. I wondered if it might be glued in place. I then decided to pull out the dishwasher and remove the diverter motor so the shaft wouldn't be in the way and also so I wouldn't scratch the walls of the cylinder the grommet fits into or the shaft. That helped a lot. Using a very small screwdriver, I was able to pop it out. I put it in partially to test the fit and found it wasn't nearly as snug as the original so I wrapped two layers of teflon plumbing tape around it and put it aside for the moment. I then decided to re-attach the diverter motor. I wasn't sure if it made more sense to put the grommet in first and then the motor or vice versa. I decided to reattach the motor first so I wouldn't push the grommet out of place and mess up the teflon wrap when trying to push the shaft up through it. With the motor in place, I put some plumbing grease on the shaft, then inserted the grommet with the groove-side up (flat side down). It was a snug fit, which I was happy about. I pushed it down in place using a small open-end wrench which ensured even pressure. A little bit of the teflon tape pushed up as I pushed the grommet down, but enough of it seemed to be staying in place. I then put things back together as shown in the videos, turned the water and power back on and tested it out, while lying on the floor looking to see if there were any leaks. My heart sank when I saw a drip, but it turned out that was it - literally one tiny drip and no more for the whole rest of the wash. I knew for sure that was the case because I had slipped a cookie sheet underneath the motor so I'd catch and drips and also be able to tell how much it had leaked, if at all. My dishwasher is an old (probably 10 years) Whirlpool model WDF730PAYB3

The big question? It definitely worked for me. It leaked first time I attempted it. Did a bit more research and decided to try again using a new grommet with clear silicone glue . I applied it evenly on bottom and sides of grommet and spread some more in slot where it sits . I made sure to avoid getting glue in hole where diverter stem goes in or inside of grommet hole.after carefully seating it in place, I then waited 24 hours for glue to cure. After reassembly and repeated use, subsequent inspections over a few days show no leaks at all. As shown in photos (new part on right) the part I received was not OEM but aftermarket with a narrower hole so as not to require a spring that was utilized on original and new one is also noticeably taller than original but did not affect performance of diverter in any way. This installation method worked for me. I hope it helps those of you with similar problem repairing your dishwasher. Good luck.

The repair guy said it would cost $635 to repair the leak in my 2011 Kenmore DW ... it needed a total pump assembly replacement requiring 1 to 1-1/2 hours including pulling the DW out. The estimate cost me $99. Robbery. I said, "No." I went to YouTube and found a video showing a $5 repair from inside the tub. I ordered what I thought was the correct grommet for the diverter pump shaft. It cost $10, not $5 but who knows when the guy made the video? It arrived from Amazon 3 days and in about 90 seconds (the trays, lower spray arm and upper spray arm tube were already disconnected) I had the new washer in and all put together. A Quick Rinse Cycle showed no drips. The next day, a full cycle showed no leaks. Even though the grommet was a little thicker than the one I removed, it seems to work perfectly. I'm leaving the toekick pieces off the bottom and will monitor the unit for another week or two to make sure it is still OK. YouTube is GREAT at showing normal Joes how to repair things. Thanks to the people who post their videos.

The Grommet fit perfectly and stopped the leak, as well easy to install. My only complaint was the cost. $30 in Canada but $7 in the States. I know the dollar isn't the same but holy mark up. Amazon should look into why the huge range in cost.

When my machine started leaking, I diagnosed the problem and called the repair shops, and they all tried to sell me a $350 sump replacement. That’s parts ALONE. If you include labour, it’s not even worth fixing. Instead I decided to take a risk and see if this little grommet would fix the problem, sure enough it did. It’s absurd that whirlpool doesn’t sell this cheap part and they expect you to replace the whole sump assembly when a tiny rubber seal fails (seems to be a very common problem, my neighbours have exact same machine and theirs failed too). The repair was pretty easy and if you can find instructions, you could do it yourself in about 20 minutes. $30 does seem steep for a little chunk of rubber, but it’s far better than spending $350 on a sump, or $600 to have someone do it for you, or $1000 for a whole new machine. It’s an easy fix, you can do it yourself.

It leaked worse than before. Ended up changing the whole bottom end and finally fixed the leak

It fits my w10849439 Kitchenaid dishwasher. A big higher than the original one but works perfectly, no more leask. Just overpriced for this piece of rubber :)

Happy for sure. Worked as intended however I'm not loving the fact of how much it cost for what amounts to a little rubber washer and spring. Sure its an engeneered part but the cost is way out of wack and takes advantage of poor manufactures policy of replacing the entire assembly (sump) **Kudos for ensuring dishwasher was repairable but should easily be 1/4 the price. Also ensure you replace the diverter motor as if you need this part, the motor got wet!
