This active vent assembly controls airflow from the dishwasher during and after a cycle, releasing humid air at the right time for better drying. Replacing a faulty vent can reduce lingering moisture and steam escaping from the door.

• Regulates and directs moist air out of the tub during the dry portion of the cycle
• Closes during wash to help contain water and heat inside the dishwasher
• Helps reduce interior condensation and improve overall drying results
• Common failure symptoms: dishes not drying, moisture remaining after the cycle, steam escaping at the top of the door, or unusual noise from the vent area

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the unit to cool
• Access is typically through the inner door panel; retain and reuse mounting hardware as required
• Inspect and correctly seat the vent seal to prevent steam leaks
• After installation, run a test cycle to check for proper vent operation and sealing

To order seal use WP8268340.
