Parts for Whirlpool WDTA50SAHZ0: 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 Control Panel is an OEM part for Whirlpool built-in dishwashers. Located at the top exterior of the appliance, it houses all buttons and LED displays to operate washing cycles.

Symptoms of a bad wire harness include:

• Intermittent functionality of components powered by harness    
• Error codes or failure detection of connected modules
• Water leaks around entry/exit points due to split sheathing
• Fraying, broken or disconnected wires within the bundle
