Parts for Frigidaire PLD4555RFC1: 05 - Door 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 Spring is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It plays a critical role in the smooth operation of the dishwasher door, providing the necessary tension to ensure that the door opens and closes gently and securely. Without a functioning door spring, the door may drop open suddenly or be difficult to close, which can lead to potential hazards and inefficiencies in the kitchen.

Causes of a bad Door Spring can include stretching or snapping due to metal fatigue, corrosion from exposure to moisture and detergents, or improper alignment that leads to uneven wear and tear.

Symptoms of a failing Door Spring include:

• The dishwasher door feeling unusually heavy or dropping open
• A snapping sound when opening or closing the door
• Difficulty in keeping the door closed or fully open
• The door slamming shut rather than closing gently

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

The Door Cable is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It is a component that connects the dishwasher door to the frame, controlling movement when accessing the tub interior.

Causes of a bad cable can be related to wear and tear over extended use, damage from faulty installation, impacts that deform the metal casing, or defects present since manufacture. Regular cycling of the door over many years places repeated stress on the cable.

Symptoms of a bad door cable: 

• Failure to open or close the door smoothly
• Lack of proper alignment
• Snapping/popping noises
• Door not sealing tightly against the gasket.

This OEM replacement part is also compatible with dishwashers made by Electrolux, Kenmore, and some KitchenAid models.

This is the screw used to secure the dishwasher spray arm assembly components together, helping keep the arm properly attached so it can rotate and distribute wash water effectively.

• A loose or missing screw can cause poor cleaning, noisy operation, or a spray arm that falls off
• Restores stable spray arm rotation and consistent wash coverage

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Open the dishwasher, remove the lower rack, and support the spray arm to prevent damage
