A dishwasher that leaks onto the floor and a dishwasher that leaves food on plates are two separate problems, and they usually need two different replacement parts. On Frigidaire and Electrolux machines, the lower door gasket is the seal that keeps water inside the tub, while the lower spray arm is the rotating piece that sends water up through the racks. If you replace the wrong one, the repair won't match the symptom. This head-to-head compares the ERP Exact Replacement 809006501 lower gasket with the PAIWEI 5304507158 lower spray arm so you can pick the part your dishwasher actually needs.
Quick verdict
Choose the ERP Exact Replacement 809006501 lower door gasket if the problem is water coming from the bottom of the dishwasher door. Its listed price is USD 10.61. Choose the PAIWEI 5304507158 lower spray arm if the component that needs replacing is the lower wash arm inside a Frigidaire dishwasher. Its listed price is USD 26.48.

Where the lower gasket wins
The ERP lower gasket is the seal component, and the listing directly mentions replacing it when your dishwasher is leaking. That makes it the obvious starting point for a door leak on an Electrolux-built dishwasher. It's also a lightweight, low-profile part at only 1 IN by 1 IN, so it's a simple gasket rather than a multi-piece wash assembly.
Where the lower spray arm wins
The PAIWEI lower spray arm is the actual rotating wash component, and it's listed as a replacement for Frigidaire dishwasher models including the FGHD2465 and FGID2466 series. If your repair calls for that arm assembly, this is the part matched to the job. It's a larger component, with dimensions of 5.75 x 8.25 x 17.5 inches, so it belongs to the wash system rather than the door seal.
Product notes
Exact Replacement 809006501 for Electrolux Frigidaire Dishwasher Lower Gasket
This ERP part is a bottom/lower door gasket seal with a deflector strip, and the listing says it measures 22 1/2 inches long. It's specified as a new part for Electrolux-manufactured dishwashers, and the condition is new. The part number 809006501 is ERP's exact replacement designation. The main reason to choose it is if you're dealing with a leak that comes from the door seal rather than from the interior wash parts. The limitation is that it's a seal, not a spray component, so it won't do anything for a broken lower spray arm.
5304507158 Dishwasher Lower Spray Arm fit Frigidaire Dishwashers Arm Assembly
This PAIWEI part is a lower spray arm assembly listed for Frigidaire dishwashers, with model families such as FGHD2465 and FGID2466 in the compatibility list. It's a new, multicolor component that fits the wash system rather than the door. Weighing 1.2 lb, it is heavier than the door seal. Choose it when the arm assembly is the part you're replacing. The limitation is that it's a Frigidaire-specific listing and isn't the gasket piece for door-seal repairs.
Final choice by use case
- If your repair is for a dishwasher that leaks from the bottom door area, start with the ERP Exact Replacement 809006501 lower gasket.
- If you are replacing the lower spray arm in a Frigidaire dishwasher, go with the PAIWEI 5304507158 lower spray arm.
- If you are still deciding, use the symptom to choose: a leak points to the door seal, while a spray-arm replacement points to the arm assembly.
