WP8531743 Whirlpool Dishwasher Float Switch Base Gasket

DIY Instructions for Replacing the Whirlpool WP8531743 GASKET

1. Gather the materials needed for the project. You will need a Phillips screwdriver, pliers, a pipe wrench, a replacement Whirlpool WP8531743 Gasket, and a bucket.

2. Turn off the gas. This is a very important step since it could be dangerous to work with gas when it is on. To do this, locate the gas shut-off valve and turn it clockwise until it is fully closed.

3. Place the bucket beneath the existing gasket. This will help catch any water that may be left in the pipe after removal of the gasket.

4. Unscrew the existing gasket from the pipe. Use the Phillips screwdriver or pliers to remove the screws that are fastening the existing gasket to the pipe.

5. Remove the existing gasket and discard it.

6. Clean the area where the new gasket should be installed. Use a cloth to wipe away any dirt and debris from the surface.

7. Place the new Whirlpool WP8531743 Gasket into position. Make sure that it is lined up correctly with the pipe.

8. Secure the new gasket in place. Use the Philips screwdriver or pipe wrench to reattach the screws that hold the gasket onto the pipe.

9. Turn the gas back on. Starting from the shut-off valve, open the valve by turning it counterclockwise until it is fully open.

10. Check for leaks. Place a cloth over the newly installed gasket and tight areas and then turn on the main water valve. If the cloth gets wet then you have a leak and will need to check the entire installation once again.

Following these steps will help ensure that you properly replace the Whirlpool WP8531743 Gasket. Be sure to use safety precautions whenever working with gas and follow all instructions that come with the product.

Please keep in mind, these instructions are for general guidance and should always be used in conjunction with the manufacturer's manual, if available.
