Kenmore / Sears Dishwasher Bracket & Flange

The Hinge Brace is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It serves as a supportive bracket anchoring the dishwasher door hinge assembly firmly in place.Note: This part may be different from your original. If your original part was a flat plastic vapor barrier, the new design is a wire. It is a factory design change, the old design is no longer available.

Over time, the hinge brace can degrade due to constant use, heavy loads on the door, or accidental impacts. A faulty hinge brace can result in misalignment or difficulty in operating the dishwasher door.

Symptoms of a bad hinge brace include:

• Loose or unstable door that does not close securely
• Gaps appearing around the door seal during wash cycles
• Broken hinge components from added stress and tension on the door
• Difficulty fully opening or closing the dishwasher door

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.
