Kenmore Dishwasher 587.1404980 (5871404980, 587 1404980) Parts

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 Heating Element Nut is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in securing the heating element in place, ensuring it functions effectively to heat water during the wash cycle. This component ensures the stability and proper operation of the dishwasher's heating element, contributing to the machine's overall efficiency and performance.

Causes of a bad part can include physical damage during maintenance or installation, corrosion over time due to exposure to water and detergents, or general wear and tear that affects its ability to securely hold the heating element in place.

Symptoms of a bad Heating Element Nut include:

• Loose heating element, leading to inefficient heating or water not heating at all
• Water leakage from the heating element area, potentially caused by a poor seal
• Unusual noises during the dishwasher cycle

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
