The Pump and Motor Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This part is responsible for circulating water during the wash cycle and draining water at the end of the cycle.  

Causes of a bad assembly can include blockages from debris, electrical failures, or wear and tear from regular use.  

Symptoms of a bad Pump and Motor Assembly include:

• Dishes remaining dirty after a wash cycle
• Water not draining properly from the dishwasher
• Unusual noises during operation

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This upper dishrack track mounts to the dishwasher tub wall and provides a smooth glide path for the rack rollers. Replacing a damaged track restores easy in-and-out movement and helps keep the upper rack aligned and secure.

• Guides and supports the upper dishrack as it slides in and out
• Maintains rack alignment to prevent binding or derailing
• Typical failure signs: rack jams or falls off, rough/squeaky travel, visible cracks or breaks in the track
• Can keep the rack from fully sliding in, making the door harder to close

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the upper rack by releasing the end caps/stops
• Unfasten the old track from the tub (screws/clips), then position and secure the new track
• Reinstall the rack and end caps; verify smooth rack travel before restoring power and water

This push-in screw cover conceals exposed fasteners or open screw holes on your appliance for a clean, finished look. It snaps into place to hide hardware and help keep dust and splashes out of the opening.

• Conceals visible screw heads or open screw holes on panels, doors, or trim
• Helps block dust and moisture from entering the opening
• Restores appearance when the original cap is missing or damaged
• Common symptoms: missing cap, cracked or loose cover, visible fastener or hole

• Align the cap with the hole and press in until fully seated and flush
• Clear any debris or old cap fragments from the hole to ensure a secure fit

This replacement lever operates the overflow/level switch assembly to help the washer detect and respond to water level changes. It restores the mechanical action that tells the control when the tub is full. What it does:

• Moves the overflow/level switch mechanism so the machine can sense water level correctly
• Helps address overfilling, continuous filling, or erratic fill behavior caused by a worn or broken lever
• Restores reliable engagement between the float/actuator and the switch
• Works as the mechanical linkage for the overflow/level sensing assembly

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning service.
• Access typically requires removing the cabinet or control console; keep fasteners organized.
• Install the lever so it aligns with the switch actuator and float linkage; verify smooth movement after assembly.

This pump sump screen filters lint, debris and small objects from wash water before it reaches the drain pump, helping prevent clogs and pump damage. Replace a cracked or clogged screen to restore proper draining. What it does:

• Captures lint, coins, hair and small debris before the drain pump
• Helps prevent pump blockages that cause poor draining or standing water
• Reduces wear on the drain pump by stopping larger debris
• Improves overall drain performance when the existing screen is damaged or clogged

• Disconnect power and water before accessing the pump area
• Remove the washer access panel or cabinet per your model's service instructions to reach the sump
• Inspect and clean surrounding areas and the pump inlet when replacing the screen

This replacement capacitor shield protects the appliance's capacitor from debris, contact and shorting, helping extend component life and reduce electrical faults. It installs over the capacitor to block dust, wiring contact and accidental damage. What it does:

• Covers and protects the capacitor from physical contact, dust and loose wiring
• Helps prevent short circuits and arcing caused by accidental contact with the capacitor
• Useful when existing shield is cracked, missing or deformed
• Can reduce risk of intermittent electrical faults related to exposed capacitor

• One capacitor shield (protective cover)

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Capacitors can hold a charge; discharge safely before touching electrical components
• Remove necessary access panels to reach the capacitor; replace shield without stressing wires

The Water Supply Tube is an OEM component specifically designed for connecting Whirlpool brand dishwashers to home plumbing systems. It transports water into dishwashers for cleaning and rinsing cycles.  

Potential causes of a problematic supply tube include mineral deposits reducing flow or small punctures from prolonged vibrations.

Symptoms of a faulty water supply tube include:

• Water leaks inside or underneath the dishwasher
• Inadequate water pressure impacting clean performance

Compatible models include some brands produced by KitchenAid, Maytag, and Kenmore.

The Whirlpool push on retainer nut is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing the heating element in the dishwasher. It is located in the base of the dishwasher's tub to hold the heating element firmly in place. The push-on retainer nut keeps the heating element securely connected to the dishwasher's electrical system while allowing for easy removal and replacement when necessary.

Over time, push on retainer nuts can become loose, worn out, or damaged due to regular use, vibrations, or accidental mishandling. If a retainer nut fails, it can lead to parts becoming unstable or disconnected.

Symptoms of a bad push on retainer nut include:

• Loose or unstable dishwasher components
• Parts falling off or becoming misaligned
• Unusual noises during the wash cycle
• Difficulty in securing components within the dishwasher

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models
