Arrived quick but ecpensive
Expensive for a rubber gasket. Replaced but still leaked, had to back up with a little silicone, now is okay. 4 star is because the parts from EA always arrive quickly with no hassles. Parts prices from all suppliers seem way too high

Part select number: Ps11745506. I need installation instructions for this air vent gasket. Do you have them? I couldn't find anything on your web site.
Hi Charles,
Thank you for the great question. You will have to start by first turning off the electricity to your appliance. Then you will unscrew all of the screws holding the inner and outer panels of your door together.
You will need to remove the back panel of your door. Separate the two panels and then rotate the electronic control board retaining latch out of the way. Then use a flat head screw driver to gently pry back the mounting clips so that you can get your electronic control board out of the way. You should not let your electronic control board just hang from the door, so if you can, try to attach the board with a little twist tie to the back panel of the door. That will help reduce strain on the wires.
Then you will lift off the outer door panel and set it aside, perhaps on a towel to avoid scratching. Then, using a flat head screw driver, on the back panel of your door rotate the air vent counter clockwise to remove it. Now you can detached the inner door vent from the inner door panel. You can remove the gasket and then replace it with your new one. Follow these steps in reverse to put your panel back into place.
I hope that helps!

I change the vent gasket and is still leaking what else could it be
For model number Wdf520padw3
Hello Derrick, Thank you for your question. The most common parts to check would be the Drain Hose PartSelect Number PS2358130, Hose Clamp PartSelect Number PS11743008, Inlet Valve PartSelect Number PS12578165 and the Door Gasket PartSelect Number PS16221222. We hope this helps.
My dishwasher leaks from the outer door. The insulation under the outer door is getting wet and it leaks onto the floor. I replaced the door gasket and the overflow control switch. Would the air vent gasket or bottom door seal cause this leak?
For model number WDT720PADM0
Hello Dave, Thank you for your inquiry. We have researched the model number you have provided and the bottom seal is only available as part of the inner door assembly. We also would recommend checking the inverter motor, the water inlet valve and the hoses. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
Hi David, thank you for reaching out. The parts on diagrams #4 and 5 are the air vent gasket and the vent assembly, respectively. To get these off, separate the outer and inner door panels by removing the screws that are holding the panels together. Rotate the air vent cover counterclockwise to remove it. You can now detach the air vent from the inner door panel and can remove the gasket from the air vent assembly. We hope this helps.
