154827601 Door Seal, 809006501 Lower Seal, 154701001 Splash Shield Kit

Key Features

• Total Perimeter Protection: This comprehensive kit includes the 154827601 main "U-shaped" tub gasket to seal the top and sides, plus the critical 809006501 lower seal for bottom-edge protection.
• Dual-Action Corner Baffles: Features the 154701001 splash shield kit, specifically designed to bridge the gap between the tub frame and the door corners where high-pressure leaks are most common.
• High-Compression EPDM Rubber: All seals are manufactured from premium, heat-resistant EPDM rubber that maintains its sealing "memory" through thousands of high-temperature "Sanitize" and "Heated Dry" cycles.
• Enhanced Structural Integrity: The 809006501 lower seal is engineered with reinforced plastic or rubber mounting tabs to prevent sagging or shifting during the high-turbulence wash phase.

Compatibility & Fitment

This seal kit is the universal solution for most modern Frigidaire-manufactured plastic tub dishwashers. Key compatible brands include:

• Frigidaire: Fits hundreds of FDB, FDP, FBD, and FFBD series models (e.g., FDB1050REB, FFBD2406NW, FGBD2431KF).
• Kenmore (587 Series): Compatible with dozens of 587-prefix dishwashers produced by Frigidaire for Sears (e.g., 587.14002990, 587.15112401).
• Crosley, Tappan, & Gibson: Direct fit for budget-friendly and standard tall-tub units utilizing these standardized Frigidaire parts.
• Note: Specifically for Plastic Tub models. If you have a stainless steel interior, your gasket and splash shield configuration will differ.

When to Replace

• Puddles Forming on Floor: Water leaking from the front-center (Lower Seal), sides (Tub Gasket), or bottom corners (Splash Shields) during the wash cycle.
• Steam Escaping Door: Visible condensation on your countertops or the dishwasher control panel, indicating the gasket has flattened and lost its compression.
• Visible Cracking or Tearing: The rubber components look shredded, brittle, or have chunks missing from the sealing ribs.
• Black Mold or Persistent Odors: Excessive slime or mold build-up inside the gasket folds that cannot be cleaned, indicating the material has degraded.
• Door "Feeling" Loose: The door latches too easily without the usual resistance, suggesting the seals are no longer creating a tight, pressurized barrier.

Installation Tips

• The "Warm Soak" Trick: Before installing the 154827601 main gasket, soak it in warm water for 15 minutes. This makes the rubber pliable and helps remove shipping kinks for a better seal.
• Clean the Channel: After removing the old tub gasket, use a small brush and vinegar to thoroughly clean the tub's mounting channel. Debris or old soap left behind will prevent the new seal from seating correctly.
• Midpoint Alignment: Fold the main gasket in half to find the center. Start by pressing the midpoint into the top-center of the tub and work your way down the sides evenly to avoid stretching the rubber.
• Splash Shield Orientation: Ensure the ribbed side of the 154701001 shields faces toward the door. Press them firmly into the bottom corners until they "click" or seat fully.
• The "24-Hour" Set: After replacing all seals, close and latch the dishwasher door for at least 24 hours without running a cycle. This allows the new rubber to conform perfectly to the door's shape.
