Do you have a question about the KDTE234GPS and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Is there a black gasket under the lower filter in my Kitchen Aid dishwasher? I **** trying to clean the filters and there is a lot of black gunk around the lower filter. Model FX060684 Thank You
Based on the provided context from the KitchenAid KDTE234GPS manual, there is no mention of a black gasket under the lower filter.
The instructions explain how to reinstall the lower and upper filters, emphasizing that the lower filter must be securely placed under the locating tabs and that the upper filter must lock into place. However, there is no indication of a black gasket being part of the assembly under the lower filter. The manual also stresses that operating the dishwasher without properly installed filters could cause damage, but again, no gasket is referenced.
Would you like me to double-check if KitchenAid mentions a gasket for this model in any updated service bulletins or parts diagrams?
