This factory-specified screw secures panels, brackets, and internal components in your appliance. Replacing worn or missing hardware restores a tight fit to help reduce vibration, noise, and premature wear.

• Fastens sheet metal, brackets, or plastic parts as designed by the manufacturer
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration/rattling
• Direct replacement for stripped, corroded, or missing screws
• Common signs: loose panels or trim, shifting components, screw won't tighten

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supply if applicable
• Use the correct driver to avoid stripping the head
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Replace one-for-one in the original location per service information

Seal included. This sump housing assembly includes a 32.17 millimeter hole for the thermistor. If the hole for the thermistor is 31-31.5 millimeters you will need to order WP8534882.

This inlet protector is the coarse screen that covers the dishwasher's pump/sump inlet, blocking large debris from entering the wash system. Replacing a damaged or missing protector helps maintain water flow and protect the pump from jams or wear.

• Screens large food particles and debris from the pump/chopper inlet
• Helps maintain proper water circulation and consistent cleaning performance
• Reduces risk of pump damage or noisy operation from debris
• Common signs: cracked or missing screen, persistent debris in the sump, grinding/rumbling noises, or declining wash results

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack and spray arm; access the sump/accumulator area per your model
• Lift out the old protector; seat the new protector fully and secure any tabs/fasteners
• Reassemble and ensure the screen sits flat with no gaps

This heater terminal nut fastens the heating element's electrical connector to its stud, keeping the connection tight under heat and vibration. Replacing a worn or missing nut restores safe contact and consistent heating performance.

• Secures the wire/ring terminal to the heater stud for a solid electrical connection
• Helps prevent arcing, discoloration, and heat damage from a loose connection
• Signs include a loose terminal, burnt odor, or melted/charred insulation at the heater connection

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance and element to cool completely before service
• Photograph wiring for reference; remove old hardware and clean the terminal
• Inspect the ring terminal, insulators, and stud; replace any heat-damaged components
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; snug with the correct nut driver—do not overtighten

This overfill float and shaft assembly monitors the dishwasher's water level. As the tub fills, the float rises and triggers the float switch to shut off the inlet water, helping prevent overfilling and leaks.

• Senses tub water level and moves up/down with the water
• Activates the float switch to stop filling at the correct level
• Helps protect against overfill-related leaks
• Common symptoms include: won't fill (float stuck up), continuous filling/overfilling (float stuck down or damaged), or float not moving freely

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Lift the old float straight up from inside the tub; access the underside (behind the toe panel) as needed to release the shaft from the float switch lever
• Install the new shaft through the guide and onto the switch lever; seat the float so it moves freely
• Verify smooth float movement and test a fill cycle while checking for leaks

Bottle with brush. Color: Black. Size: 0.6 fl.oz.

This compression tube nut secures water inlet tubing to a threaded fitting to create a reliable, leak-resistant seal. Replace a cracked or stripped nut to stop drips at the connection and keep your appliance's water system working properly.

• Compresses the tubing against the fitting to seal the water line at the inlet valve, filter head, or other water-system connections
• Helps correct leaks at the water line connection point
• Replaces nuts that are cracked, cross-threaded, or deformed
• Common symptoms: water dripping at the connection, difficulty tightening the line, or a poor seal after reassembly

• Shut off the water supply and disconnect power before servicing.
• Slide the nut onto the tubing first, seat the tube fully on the fitting, then hand-tighten and snug with a wrench; do not overtighten.
• Inspect and reuse the existing sleeve/ferrule and tube insert if in good condition; replace if worn.
• Restore water and check for leaks at the connection.

This replacement shield fits over the heater/probe area to provide a protective barrier. It helps prevent direct contact and excessive radiant heat exposure, protecting nearby components and supporting accurate temperature sensing for consistent operation. What it does:

• Shields the heating element and adjacent temperature probe/sensor area
• Helps prevent heat damage to nearby plastics, wiring, and components
• Reduces the chance of items contacting or striking the heater/probe
• Common signs it's needed: cracked, warped, or missing shield; discoloration; rattling or an exposed probe/heater area

• 1 shield

• Disconnect power and allow all heated parts to cool before servicing
• Access the heater/probe area and note the original shield orientation
• Seat the shield fully; secure with existing clips/fasteners if applicable
• Verify clearances around the heating element before restoring power

The door balance mount is the side-frame bracket that supports the dishwasher's door counterbalance system. When worn or broken, it can let the door drop, slam, bind, or feel heavy. Replacing it restores smooth, controlled door movement. What it does

• Anchors the door springs and balance link/cable to counterbalance the door's weight
• Helps the door open and close smoothly without dropping or slamming
• Guides the balance link for consistent, quiet movement
• Common symptoms: door feels heavy or uneven, falls open, won't stay put, or makes grinding/squeaking noises; visible damage to the bracket or rollers

• One door balance mount (bracket)

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Pull the dishwasher out slightly to access the side where the mount is installed
• Carefully relieve spring tension; note link/cable routing before removal
• Transfer the spring/link to the new mount, secure the bracket, and check door balance on both sides

This replacement upper spray arm restores strong spray coverage to the upper wash level of your dishwasher. It channels water through its jets and spins under pressure to help deliver consistently clean dishes on the top rack.

• Directs pressurized wash water to the upper wash level for thorough cleaning
• Rotates under water pressure for even spray coverage
• Helps clear food soils and detergent residue from dishes and glasses
• Common symptoms: poor cleaning on the upper rack, spray arm not spinning, clogged or cracked arm

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Open the dishwasher; remove the upper rack if needed for access
• Release or unthread the retainer and pull the old arm straight off; clear debris from the hub/feed port

• Helps maintain alignment and sealing at the connection point
• Reduces vibration and prevents rubbing/chafing against surrounding parts
• Common symptoms include a loose or sagging inlet, rattling noises, chafed tubing, or drips from a misaligned inlet
