Parts for Maytag WC201: 08 - Front View-Lower Parts

The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

A replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels and components. This genuine-style fastener restores proper fit and prevents loose or rattling parts for many Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, brackets, or components to the appliance frame
• Restores secure attachment when original screw is missing, stripped, or damaged
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration noise, and loose-fitting parts
• Matches OEM fit and function when the correct part number is used

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before servicing the appliance.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head; do not overtighten.
• Replace only with the exact part number to ensure correct fit; keep removed hardware organized for reassembly.

This power cord strain relief secures the cord where it passes through the appliance cabinet, protecting the jacket and preventing pull on internal connections. Replacing a cracked or missing connector restores a safe, stable cord entry. What it does:

• Secures the power cord at the cabinet entry to relieve strain on internal terminals or junction connections
• Provides a protective bushing to reduce abrasion of the cord jacket against cabinet edges
• Helps maintain proper routing and support for the incoming power cord
• Typical signs it's needed: loose or wobbly cord at entry, broken/missing connector, or visible chafing on the cord jacket

• 1 strain relief connector

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Remove the access cover, release and remove the old strain relief, and route the cord through the new connector
• Seat the connector fully so it captures the cord's outer jacket—not the individual conductors
• After reassembly, verify the cord is secure and does not move at the entry point

This is a replacement machine screw sized 8-18 x 3/8 that secures panels and components on compatible appliances. It restores proper fastening where a worn, stripped, or missing screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does

• Can address squealing/chirping noises or a burning rubber smell
• Replaces belts that are cracked, frayed, stretched, or glazed

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
