Parts for Whirlpool WDF320PADB0: 03 - Control Panel And Latch 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

The Door Latch Actuator is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This part securely latches the dishwasher door, ensuring that it stays closed during operation and that the wash cycles run smoothly. The actuator interacts with the door latch to activate the locking mechanism, providing a secure seal to prevent leaks.

Causes of a bad door latch actuator can include regular wear and tear, mechanical failure, or damage from accidental impacts.

Symptoms of a bad door latch actuator include:

• Dishwasher door not staying closed
• Dishwasher not starting because the door isn’t securely latched
• Difficulty latching or unlatching the door
• Leaks around the door during operation

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This electronic control board manages the appliance's electronic functions. It interprets user inputs and sensor feedback to run cycles and features, helping restore reliable operation when the original control becomes unresponsive or fails.

• Controls timing and power to key components based on settings and sensor signals
• Failure symptoms include unresponsive buttons, blank/no display, failure to start, error codes, or intermittent/erratic operation
• Restores proper sequencing of motors, heaters, fans, lights, and other controlled loads

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Use anti-static (ESD) precautions; handle the board by the edges only
• Photograph wiring and move connectors one at a time to the new board
• Mount securely and ensure all harness connectors are fully seated before restoring power

This brace connector is a small structural support that secures and stabilizes appliance components, helping maintain proper alignment and reduce vibration. It restores firm attachment where a worn or broken connector causes movement. What it does:

• Secures joining points between panels or assemblies to prevent looseness and rattling
• Restores proper alignment of connected parts so doors, panels, or controls operate smoothly
• Helps reduce vibration and noise caused by a failed or missing connector
• Works as the replacement structural fastener specified by the manufacturer

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver, socket) typically required; inspect mounting hardware and replace if damaged
• Verify correct orientation and tightness during installation to avoid stressing adjacent parts

This miniature door switch is the snap-action interlock that tells the appliance when the door is closed. Replacing a worn or sticking switch restores reliable start/stop and proper door-status sensing for safe, consistent operation. What it does:

• Acts as the latch/interlock sensor for door open/closed status
• Signals the control to allow or prevent operation based on door position
• Typical symptoms include: won't start or shows a door message, stops when the door is bumped, or light/fan behavior doesn't match door position

• 1 miniature door switch

• Disconnect power before servicing. If working on a microwave, high voltage may be present even when unplugged—properly discharge the capacitor.
• Access the latch/interlock area; note wire positions and transfer one lead at a time to the new switch.
• Use a multimeter to confirm the switch changes continuity when pressed before reassembly.

This push button is a replacement control panel button that restores a responsive tactile switch on your appliance. It provides a simple, user-facing interface for selecting cycles or options. What it does:

• Replaces a worn, broken, or missing control panel button so selections can be made reliably
• Restores tactile feedback for accurate button presses
• Helps resolve symptoms such as unresponsive or stuck buttons and cosmetic damage to the panel
• Designed to fit the original button location and align with the underlying switch mechanism
