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 Dishwasher Heating Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It safely generates heat to sanitize dishes and raise water temperatures during hot drying cycles. A functioning heating element ensures thorough cleaning and reduces the risk of damage from moisture left behind.

Causes of a bad heating element usually relate to standard wear and deterioration of wiring insulation or coil materials after extended usage cycles. Surface scale can obstruct heat transfer if not periodically removed.

Symptoms of a bad heating element include:

• Dishes not getting fully dry
• Moisture remaining in low areas after cycles
• Inability to select high-temperature settings
• Cycles that don't reach the required sanitization temps

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

The Rubber Washer is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This washer plays a role in ensuring a leak-proof seal at various connection points within the dishwasher, such as at the water inlet valve or hose connections. Its primary function is to prevent water from leaking out of the dishwasher during operation, thereby ensuring efficient and safe use of the appliance. 

Over time, rubber washers can deteriorate due to the constant exposure to water and chemicals found in dishwasher detergents. 

Symptoms of a bad Rubber Washer in a dishwasher include:

• Visible signs of wear or damage to the washer, such as cracks, brittleness, or deformation.
• Water leaking from the dishwasher, particularly around areas where hoses and valves connect.
• A decrease in dishwasher performance due to water not being contained properly during cycles.

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

Dishwasher plastic heating element nut. Used to hold down the heating element.

The Whirlpool push on retainer nut is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing the heating element in the dishwasher. It is located in the base of the dishwasher's tub to hold the heating element firmly in place. The push-on retainer nut keeps the heating element securely connected to the dishwasher's electrical system while allowing for easy removal and replacement when necessary.

Over time, push on retainer nuts can become loose, worn out, or damaged due to regular use, vibrations, or accidental mishandling. If a retainer nut fails, it can lead to parts becoming unstable or disconnected.

Symptoms of a bad push on retainer nut include:

• Loose or unstable dishwasher components
• Parts falling off or becoming misaligned
• Unusual noises during the wash cycle
• Difficulty in securing components within the dishwasher
