154701001 Dishwasher Splash Shield - Pack of 2

Key Features

• Precision Corner Leak Protection: Specifically engineered to seal the critical gap between the bottom corners of the dishwasher tub and the door, preventing water from splashing out onto your kitchen floor during high-pressure wash cycles.
• Multi-Ribbed Sealing Surface: Features a specialized three-rib design that creates a redundant barrier against pressurized water, ensuring a watertight fit even as the dishwasher ages and the door alignment shifts slightly.
• High-Flex EPDM Rubber: Manufactured from premium, heat-resistant EPDM rubber that maintains its elasticity and "memory" through thousands of "Sanitize" and "Heated Dry" cycles without becoming brittle or cracking.
• Anti-Microbial Construction: The non-porous rubber material resists the accumulation of food particles, grease, and black mold, helping to eliminate persistent "dishwasher smells" at the base of the door.
• Complete 2-Piece Maintenance Set: This value pack includes both the left and right corner shields, allowing for a simultaneous replacement to ensure balanced protection and a symmetrical seal across the front of the unit.

Compatibility & Fitment

This splash shield is the standard corner seal for most Frigidaire-manufactured plastic tub dishwashers. Key compatible brands include:

• Frigidaire: Fits hundreds of FDB, FDP, FBD, and FFBD series models (e.g., FDB1050REB, FDB2310LCC).
• Kenmore (587 Series): Compatible with many 587-prefix dishwashers manufactured by Frigidaire for Sears (e.g., 587.14002990).
• Crosley, Tappan, & Gibson: Direct fit for dozens of budget-friendly and standard tall-tub units utilizing the 154701001 shield style.
• Note: These shields are located at the bottom corners of the tub frame, not on the door itself. Verify your original seals match this "U-shaped" rubber profile before ordering.

When to Replace

• Water Leaking from Front Corners: Small puddles forming on the floor at the front-left or front-right of the dishwasher, typically during the first 10 minutes of the wash cycle.
• Visible Wear or Tearing: The rubber shields look shredded, have visible chunks missing, or have pulled away from their mounting tabs.
• Hard or Brittle Rubber: The shields feel "stony" or "plasticky" rather than flexible, preventing them from conforming to the door when it latches.
• Missing Shields: One or both shields have fallen off during cleaning or over years of use, leaving a visible gap at the corner of the tub.
• Corroded Subfloor: You notice water damage or "swelling" in the wooden cabinetry or flooring directly beneath the front corners of the dishwasher.

Installation Tips

• No Tools Required: This is a simple "press-fit" repair. Open the dishwasher door fully and remove the lower dish rack for better visibility and access to the bottom corners.
• Clean the Mounting Area: Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to thoroughly clean the plastic tub frame where the old shields were located. Removing old soap scum and grit is essential for a proper seal.
• Orientation is Key: The shields are designed with a specific "inner" and "outer" face. Align the shield so the ribbed side faces the dishwasher door and the smooth side seats against the tub frame.
• The "Seat" Test: Press the shield firmly into the corner slot until it is fully seated. Close the dishwasher door slowly to ensure the shield doesn't fold over or get pinched out of place.
• Check the Main Gasket: While replacing these corner shields, inspect your 154827601 Main Door Gasket. If the main perimeter seal is also flattened, these corner shields may not be enough to stop all leaks.
