This splash shield kit is an OEM replacement part that prevents water from spraying beyond the door seal in Frigidaire dishwashers. The kit measures 1.5 inches in length, 0.5 inches in width, and 1.7 inches in height. This kit is located on the front lower corners of the dishwasher tub. If your dishwasher is leaking due to a damaged or worn-out splash shield, the kit provides a reliable replacement.
Symptoms of a bad splash shield kit include:
- Stains or mineral deposits on surrounding cabinetry
- Puddles or drips developing outside the dishwasher tub
- Reduced cleaning ability due to unredirected spray patterns
- Damage, cracks or missing sections of splash shielding
Causes can be normal wear from extended use breaking down barriers over time. Proper shield alignment is needed to effectively direct spray inside the tub.
This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
