Whirlpool WP717273 Dishwasher Rubber Washer

The Whirlpool WP717273 is a modest but significant component within your Whirlpool dishwasher. It serves as a simple yet essential rubber washer, specifically intended to provide a watertight seal. Imagine a ring-shaped gasket between the dishwasher door and the main tub. This is where WP717273 comes into play.As you close the dishwasher door, the rubber washer compresses, creating a tight seal against the tub. This forms a barrier, preventing wash water from leaking out of the dishwasher during a cycle. A faulty or worn-out WP717273 washer may cause breaches, resulting in water damage to your kitchen floor, cabinets, and adjacent surroundings.A fully working WP717273 is required to ensure an intact and effective dishwasher operation.
