We had water in our dishwasher for several days to swell the seals in preparation for a running leak check. No static leaks were noted. But during the running test, we found a leak at the shaft for the flapper valve that controls whether the pump output goes to the sprayers or to the drain. Tried to match it locally but no success. Could not find the proper parts manual for this machine.

Does anyone have a part number, cross referenced part, or the specifications/dimensions for this o-ring? It seems to be the only think keeping us from installing this into our completely vintage kitchen.

Will attempt to get a picture up later today for reference.

O ring water seal is part # WD8X181 It's not a standard O ring, it has an extra lip on it.

Jeff, thanks for the quick response! APP has a video of changing this seal. While the dishwasher they change it on is much newer, the valve setup looks identical to our vintage unit. Must have been a good, reliable design if they are still using it today. Parts ordered and on the way. Should be able to retest on Monday!

Thanks again!

O Ring For A 1964 GE DW ?

GE did not use a drain valve till 1967 on their DWs.

 

Those O rings are a PITA to change and usually start leaking almost right away after replacement, we do not even try this for our customers do to high high failure rate of repair. better to replace entire pump and motor with new style P&M.
