The Friction Pad is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a component located within the dishwasher door hinge assembly that is responsible for reducing friction and providing smooth operation as the door opens and closes. 

Friction pads can wear out over time due to repeated opening and closing of the dishwasher door. This repeated motion causes the pad material to break down gradually. If you notice increased resistance or noise when operating the door, or the door is not opening and closing as smoothly as before, it may be time to replace the friction pad.

Symptoms of a worn friction pad are:

• Difficulty opening or closing the dishwasher door  
• Increased noise or squeaking sounds when operating the door
• Resistance or binding feeling when moving the door
• Door not staying securely in place when fully opened or closed

Causes of a bad door spring link can include normal wear and tear, overstretching or breaking due to repeated use, or damage from improper handling during maintenance.

Symptoms of a bad Door Spring Link include:

• The dishwasher door dropping open too quickly
