Dishwasher Duct Parts

The Vent Blower Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It is designed to help ventilate the dishwasher by expelling hot, moist air from the interior after the washing cycle. 

You should replace the vent blower assembly if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad vent blower assembly can include regular wear and tear, blockages from debris, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning vent blower can lead to poor drying performance and excessive moisture inside the dishwasher.

Symptoms of a bad vent blower assembly include:

• Dishes not drying properly after the wash cycle
• Excessive moisture or condensation inside the dishwasher
• Unusual noises coming from the vent blower area
• The dishwasher emitting warm, moist air less effectively

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Blower Motor Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG dishwashers. Located inside the wash cavity, it functions to distribute heated air throughout during the dry cycle. Rapid rotation of the blower motor blades works to eject moisture from dishes and ensure thorough drying. 

Causes of a bad blower motor include failure of the motor itself, cracks in the blades that disrupt airflow, or bearing issues preventing proper rotation.

Symptoms include:

• Dishes still feeling damp after a cycle 
• Puddles of water remaining in the bottom of the dishwasher
• Water droplets on upper racks/dishes
• The motor producing grinding/squealing noises on startup

It is also compatible with some Kenmore dishwashers using LG components. 

This replacement door vent directs humid air out of the dishwasher during the dry cycle. Restoring a damaged or missing vent helps maintain proper airflow and reduce unwanted moisture around the door area. What it does:

• Vents steam from the tub to help manage moisture during drying
• Routes airflow away from the door and control area
• Helps limit condensation and odor buildup inside the door
• Common signs of failure: visible cracks or broken louvers, steam/moisture escaping at the door top, water spots near the vent, or a loose/rattling vent

• 1 door vent

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Open the door; remove screws or release tabs to remove the old vent (varies by model)
• Note orientation, seat the new vent fully, and secure without overtightening
• Reassemble and run a short cycle to check for proper sealing and airflow

This is a common fastening nut used to secure panels, trim, or components on compatible LG appliances. It provides a simple, reliable way to hold mating parts in place and restore proper fit and function. What it does

• Secures panels, brackets, or hardware to prevent movement or vibration
• Stops rattling or loose parts caused by a missing or worn nut
• Restores proper alignment when replacing damaged or stripped fasteners
• Works where a standard threaded nut is required for reassembly

• One common nut as pictured

• Disconnect power and water before servicing the appliance
• Use the properly sized wrench or socket to avoid rounding the nut
• Do not overtighten; tighten until snug and secure per OEM torque guidance
• Replace like-for-like—thread size and type match the original

NOTE: The clamps no longer come with the connector hose. The part number for the clamp is WD01X10322.

This duct assembly routes air inside the appliance to maintain proper ventilation and system performance. Replaces a cracked or damaged duct to help restore correct airflow and reduce overheating or uneven operation. What it does:

• Channels airflow between internal compartments and vents for consistent temperature control
• Directs heated or cooled air to the proper areas to help maintain performance
• Helps prevent hot spots, poor cooling/heating, and related cycling issues
• Reduces rattling or abnormal noises caused by broken or loose ducts

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Handle carefully—edges may be sharp; wear gloves and eye protection
• Basic hand tools required; keep track of fasteners and gaskets removed during disassembly
• Test appliance operation after installation to confirm airflow and symptom resolution

This air brake/drain hose assembly creates an anti-siphon break in the drain line and safely routes wastewater to household plumbing. Replacing a cracked, kinked, or clogged assembly restores reliable draining and helps prevent leaks or backflow.

• Provides the air gap/vacuum break to help prevent siphoning and contamination
• Connects the dishwasher's drain outlet to the air gap or garbage disposal/inlet
• Helps keep water from backing into the tub after a cycle
• Typical failure signs: leaks, slow or no drain, water returning to tub, visible hose damage

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply and place towels to catch residual water
• Note original hose routing and clamp positions; reuse existing clamps and seals as needed
• Maintain a high loop or external air gap per local code when routing the drain line
• After installation, run a short cycle and inspect all connections for leaks or kinks

This duct assembly channels air through the appliance to maintain proper airflow and reliable operation. Replacing a damaged or cracked duct helps restore ventilation and can reduce noise and poor performance. What it does:

• Directs air from the blower/tub area into the vent path to enable normal airflow
• Prevents leaks that can reduce drying/cooling efficiency or cause longer cycles
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling caused by a loose or broken duct
• Common symptom: reduced airflow, longer cycle times, or unusual noise during operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Inspect surrounding seals and mounting tabs; replace any damaged hardware
• Basic hand tools required; handle carefully to avoid cracking plastic tabs

A replacement vent assembly that directs airflow inside the appliance to restore proper circulation and temperature control. Installs behind access panels to replace a damaged or cracked duct and help the appliance run more efficiently. What it does

• Channels conditioned or exhaust air between components to maintain correct airflow paths.
• Helps prevent air leaks that can cause uneven cooling or longer run cycles.
• Commonly replaced when the duct is cracked, broken, or obstructed.
• Reduces noise caused by loose or damaged vent components.

• Vent assembly (1)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access may require removing exterior or interior panels; keep fasteners organized for reassembly.
• Align tabs and gaskets during install to ensure a proper seal; do not force parts.

This air diverter assembly routes and redirects airflow inside the appliance to help maintain proper venting and circulation. Replaces a worn or broken diverter to help restore normal airflow and reduce venting issues. What it does:

• Directs airflow between ducts and chambers to maintain intended ventilation paths
• Helps prevent air from bypassing heating elements or sensors
• Can reduce symptoms like uneven drying, long cycles, or reduced airflow
• Stops rattling or unusual air-noise caused by a broken or loose diverter

• One air diverter assembly

• Disconnect power before beginning any repairs
• Access may require removing the appliance back panel or cabinet; keep track of fasteners
• Inspect mating surfaces and seals; replace damaged seals or gaskets for best performance

This replacement vent directs and controls airflow inside the appliance to restore proper ventilation and help maintain performance. Fits where the original vent is cracked, clogged, or damaged. What it does:

• Channels air through the appliance to support normal airflow and operation
• Helps prevent airflow restrictions that can cause poor performance or overheating
• Replaces damaged, broken, or warped vents that no longer seat or seal properly
• Suitable when original vent shows visible damage, cracking, or warping

• One vent

• Basic hand tools typically required; for access instructions
• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning any service
• Handle plastic parts gently to avoid cracking; ensure vent seats evenly and secures to mounting points
