This sump clamping nut secures the washer/dishwasher sump seal and housing, helping keep the sump assembly sealed and stable during operation. It's a small but essential fastener for preventing leaks and maintaining proper drainage. What it does:
- Holds the sump/tub seal and sump housing tightly in place to maintain a watertight connection
- Prevents the sump assembly from loosening during spin or wash cycles
- Helps reduce leaks and related water damage when installed correctly
- Works with the factory sump and seal components as the retaining nut
What's included: One sump clamping nut. Install notes:
- Replace only with the matching part number; verify orientation before tightening
- Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to factory spec (do not overtighten)
- Disconnect power and water to the appliance before servicing
