5.2.9 Tub Gasket
To correctly hold the tub gasket (seal) in place, a channel
shaped stainless steel retainer is spot welded to the front
opening of the tub. The physical characteristics of both the
seal and the retainer should be understood so that they can
be correctly assembled.
The retainer runs up the inside surface of the tub, across the
roof, then down the other side. There is a small gap between
the ends at the bottom of the tub to allow positioning of the
“feet” at the ends of the rubber seal. The “heels” of these
“feet” slide under the ends of the retainer.
The seal is formed by 3 ribs that run along one face of the
gasket, from the heel of one foot to the other. These ribs fit
against the innermost surface of the retainer channel.
NOTE: Locate the four gaps between the retainer and the
tub, and fill these with silicone no more than 3 minutes prior
to fitting the gasket.
The following procedure will assist with installation and
removal of the gasket.
5.2.9.1 To remove the tub gasket, grasp the bottom section
and pull the tub gasket from the recess formed in the tub as
shown below.
5.2.9.2 When reinstalling the tub gasket to the tub retainer,
begin by positioning both ends of the tub gasket into the
bottom of the tub retainer, which is formed around the tub by
a flange located 1/4" from the sides and top of the tub.
5.2.9.3 The tub gasket has a molded section on each end in
the form of a foot, which locates under the inner side of the
tub retainer flange. Ensure the foot is correctly fitted to the
retainer on each end of the tub gasket.
5.2.9.4 With both ends of the tub gasket positively posi-
tioned in the retainer, press down onto the block molded
section of the tub gasket at one end to maintain its position
and start to feed the tub gasket into the retainer.
5.2.9.5 The tub gasket has three ribs molded into the side
face of the gasket and extends the full length of the tub
gasket. As the tub gasket is pushed into the retainer the
ribbed side face of the tub gasket engages with the side face
of the retainer flange.
5.2.9.6 The tub gasket is located within the retainer by finger
pressure only, do not push the gasket “upwards” as this may
stretch the tub gasket causing an excess in length to occur,
resulting in the tub gasket not seating correctly.
5.2.9.7 After approximately 12" of the tub gasket has been
seated into the retainer, switch to the opposite side of the
dishwasher, press down onto the block molded section of the
tub gasket to maintain its position at the bottom of the tub
and feed the tub gasket into the retainer by finger pressure.
5.2.9.8 After seating approximately 12" of tub gasket into in
the retainer, switch to the other side of dishwasher and
repeat the procedure.
5.2.9.9 Alternate the procedure until both sides of the tub
gasket have been inserted and seated correctly.
5.2.9.10 Starting at each top corner, seat the gasket into the
radius of the tub, alternate from side to side ensuring it is
seated/located correctly.
Seat 12" of tub gasket at a time, switching from side to side.
5.2.9.11 Finally, seat the tub gasket working from each side
across the top section of tub, with the center section also
located into the retainer correctly without any excess length
of tub gasket present.
