This drive belt links the dishwasher's motor to the pump so the machine can circulate wash water and drain properly. Replacing a worn or broken belt restores wash action and helps eliminate slipping or squealing during cycles.

• Transfers motor power to the pump for water circulation and draining
• Common fix for no wash action or poor cleaning
• Can address squealing/chirping noises or a burning rubber smell
• Replaces belts that are cracked, frayed, stretched, or glazed

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower access/toe panel to reach the motor and pump area
• Note belt routing; rotate the old belt off the pulleys and install the new belt the same way
• Check pulley alignment and hand-rotate to seat the belt before running a test cycle

This retainer is a small mounting clip that secures a component to the appliance housing or shaft, keeping parts aligned and preventing excess movement for reliable operation. It's a simple replacement that restores proper fit and function. What it does:

• Secures a component in place to prevent slipping, rotation, or misalignment
• Maintains correct spacing between moving parts to reduce wear and noise
• Helps stop rattling or loose parts caused by a broken or missing clip
• Works as a straightforward mechanical fastener—no wiring or sensors involved

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any repair.
• Access may require removing a panel or adjacent parts—keep fasteners organized.
• Inspect surrounding parts (shafts, bearings, brackets) for wear before reassembly.
• Use basic hand tools; replace if the clip is cracked, bent, or worn.

Drain hose retainer keeps the appliance's drain hose securely fastened to the cabinet or pump, helping prevent the hose from slipping loose. Replacing a broken retainer reduces leaks and improper draining caused by a detached hose. What it does:

• Secures the drain hose to the cabinet, pump outlet, or drain connection to maintain correct hose positioning.
• Helps prevent water leaks and hose disconnection during drain cycles.
• Common symptoms of a failed retainer: visible hose movement, water at the rear or floor, or intermittent draining issues.
• Replaces worn or broken retainers that no longer hold the hose firmly.

• Always disconnect power and turn off water before servicing the appliance.
• Access may require moving the appliance or removing a rear/access panel to reach the hose retainer.
• Seat the drain hose fully in its proper position, snap or clip the retainer into place, and verify the hose is secure and not kinked.
• Inspect the drain hose for cracks or wear while replacing the retainer; replace the hose if damaged.
