Parts for Kitchenaid KDTE234GPS0: 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

This console is the main control-panel housing that holds the dryer's buttons, display and controls. It restores a secure, finished mounting surface for the user interface and protects the underlying switches and electronics. What it does:

• Provides the bezel and mounting structure for control buttons, knobs, and the display
• Protects switches and circuit boards from dust, debris, and accidental impact
• Restores proper alignment and tactile feel for worn, cracked, or damaged panels
• Helps resolve intermittent or inoperative controls caused by a broken housing or misaligned buttons

• One replacement console housing

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before beginning service
• Remove necessary trim or console fasteners and carefully detach wiring harnesses by their connectors
• Handle switches and display components gently; avoid bending contacts or stressing ribbon cables

The Jumper Wire is an OEM part for Whirlpool built-in dishwashers. Located internally throughout the frame, jumper wires provide electrical connectivity between control circuit boards to power critical functions. 

Symptoms of a bad jumper wire include:

• Intermittent or incomplete wash cycles    
• Error codes displayed related to control systems  
• Buzzing noises emanating from internal components
• Inoperable features like heating or water valves

Causes of jumper wire failure are often fraying, cracking or breakage of fragile conductive strands from continuous vibrational motion over many usage cycles. Physical kinks or pinches during repairs can also impair connectivity.

Compatible models also include those by Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and Kenmore.

This is an electrical wire-harness connector used to join wiring in the appliance. It restores a secure electrical connection so controls and components receive proper power and signaling. What it does:

• Provides a secure mating point between wiring harnesses or between a harness and a component
• Maintains proper electrical contact to prevent intermittent power or signal loss
• Commonly used where a detachable electrical connection is needed for service or assembly
• Can help address symptoms like intermittent operation, components not powering on, or visible damaged/loose plug ends

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing any electrical connector
• Verify connector orientation and full engagement; bent terminals may need replacement
• Compare the replacement to the original to ensure terminal count, shape and locking feature match
• If wiring insulation or terminals are damaged, replace the harness

This replacement screw secures panels, brackets, and other components inside your appliance. Replacing missing or stripped hardware restores a tight, rattle-free fit and keeps parts anchored as designed.

• Fastens metal or plastic panels, brackets, and internal components
• Replaces missing, damaged, or stripped screws
• Helps resolve vibration, rattling, or loose-fitting parts
• Maintains proper alignment and secure mounting points

• Disconnect power and shut off water/gas supplies before service
• Match the screw to its original location; your model's diagram to placement
• Start threads by hand and use the correct driver to avoid stripping
• Do not overtighten, especially into plastic or thin sheet metal

The Door Latch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a crucial component that ensures the dishwasher door remains securely closed during wash cycles, preventing water leaks and maintaining the proper pressure and temperature within the tub.

Symptoms of a bad dishwasher door latch include:

• The door not closing properly or securely
• Water leaking from the dishwasher during cycles
• Error codes or fault indicators related to the door latch mechanism
• Difficulty opening the door after a cycle has completed

Causes of a bad door latch can range from physical damage or obstruction preventing proper closure to wear and tear on the latch components over time.  

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

The Control Board is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This board is responsible for operating and controlling all functions of the dishwasher through its internal components. It receives signals from inputs like buttons, sensors and switches, and in turn operates components like motors, valves and heaters through outputs accordingly. The control board works behind the scenes to coordinate the automatic cycles and ensure optimal cleaning performance.

Causes of a bad control board can include electrical failures, component fatigue from extended use, or damage from power surges or moisture intrusion.

Symptoms of a bad control board include:

• Dishwasher not starting or not completing cycles
• Lights, displays or input devices not functioning
• Strange odors or noises coming from inside control area
• Inability to scroll through cycles or make selections

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

This replacement brace is a structural support bracket that helps stabilize and secure appliance components for reliable operation. Installing the correct brace restores alignment and reduces movement that can cause noise or wear. What it does

• Provides structural support to internal or external assemblies to keep parts properly aligned
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling caused by loose or damaged supports
• Prevents excess movement that can lead to premature wear of adjacent components
• Commonly replaced when the original bracket is bent, cracked, or missing

• One replacement brace/support bracket

• Use appropriate tools and fasteners for your model; retain any original screws if reusable
• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before beginning any repair for safety
• Inspect surrounding components and mounting points; replace damaged hardware as needed
