This upper draw bar is a door-latch linkage piece used in dishwashers. It connects the handle/actuator to the latch mechanism so the door closes securely and the door switch engages, allowing the cycle to start reliably.

• Links the door handle/actuator to the latch for positive closure
• Helps ensure the door switch is engaged so the unit will run
• Restores proper latch alignment and handle feel
• Common symptoms: door won't latch or pops open, dishwasher won't start, must push/hold door to run, loose or floppy handle

• Disconnect power at the breaker; turn off water supply if working near the inlet
• Open the door and remove inner-door screws to access the latch linkage
• Note bar orientation; transfer any clips/bushings and reuse existing hardware
• Reassemble and check latch engagement before running a cycle

This adjustable leveling leg threads into the appliance base to set height and stabilize the cabinet. Replacing a worn or missing leg helps stop rocking and vibration and helps maintain proper alignment for reliable operation.

• Provides adjustable support at one corner of the appliance
• Helps level the unit for correct alignment with floor or cabinetry
• Reduces rocking, vibration, and rattling noises
• Replaces stripped, bent, cracked, or missing leg

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Carefully support or brace the appliance to access the base safely
• Start the new leg by hand to avoid cross-threading; adjust height gradually
• Use a level to check side-to-side and front-to-back, then recheck after positioning

This vent screen covers the dishwasher door vent, allowing steam to escape while blocking food particles and debris. Replacing a damaged or missing screen helps maintain proper airflow and can reduce moisture and odors around the vent area.

• Screens the door vent to keep debris out of the vent duct and fan path
• Maintains airflow for venting steam during the dry cycle
• A clogged, cracked, or missing screen may lead to moisture at the vent, odors, or reduced drying performance
• Replace if warped, broken, or lost during service

• Disconnect power to the dishwasher at the breaker before servicing
• Open the door and remove inner-door screws to access the vent assembly
• Remove the old screen, seat the new screen fully and evenly, then reassemble without overtightening
• Run a short cycle and check the vent area for proper airflow and moisture

This replacement cam converts rotational motion into the precise movement needed by the appliance's linkage or latch assembly, restoring proper mechanical timing and part engagement. Use this cam to replace a worn, broken, or stripped cam and help return reliable operation. What it does

• Transfers motor or shaft rotation into controlled push/pull motion for linkages or latches
• Restores correct timing and movement when a plastic cam is cracked, worn, or slipping
• Helps resolve symptoms like intermittent or failed door/latch action, noisy operation, or improper cycle sequencing
• Works as a like-for-like mechanical replacement when the OEM cam has failed

• One replacement cam (single piece only)

• Disconnect power (and water supply if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Inspect mating shafts, linkages, and fasteners; replace any damaged hardware to prevent repeat failure

This grate captures heavy soils and debris at the bottom of the washer tub to help reduce re-deposition on clothing and keep the drain area clearer. Restores proper soil separation for more consistent wash results. What it does:

• Traps heavy dirt and debris so it doesn't recirculate onto clothes during the wash.
• Helps keep the drain/under-tub area clearer, reducing the chance of clogs.
• Supports proper water flow and soil separation for improved cleaning performance.
• Common symptoms indicating a failing or missing part: clothes still look soiled after a cycle, visible debris in the tub, or frequent drain blockages.

• One grate

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing the washer.
• Drain the tub and remove any agitator or tub components required for access.
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing parts or over-tightening plastic components.

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

This tower protector is a small plastic cover that fits over the dishwasher's spray tower. It helps keep dishes and utensils from obstructing the tower's spray outlets so water can circulate properly for consistent cleaning.

• Shields the spray tower to prevent items from blocking water flow
• Helps maintain proper spray pressure and coverage to upper areas
• Replaces cracked, melted, or missing protectors that can lead to poor cleaning
• Common signs it's needed: protector is broken/loose, deformed, or repeatedly falls off; dishes aren't getting clean due to blocked spray

• Disconnect power and water before service
• Allow the dishwasher interior to cool
• Open the door, remove the lower rack, and snap the protector into place per the tower/rack design
• Verify it seats securely and does not interfere with the spray tower movement

Color: Black. Size: 12 oz. Acrylic appliance aerosol can spray paint.

Size: 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

This wet agent dispenser replaces the washer's liquid fabric softener dispenser to restore proper dispensing during the rinse cycle. It helps keep softener contained until the machine is ready to release it, improving rinse-time performance. What it does:

• Holds and releases liquid fabric softener (wet agent) into the rinse cycle
• Ensures softener is delivered at the correct time for even distribution
• Stops leaking or premature release when the dispenser housing is intact
• Commonly replaced when the dispenser cracks, clogs, or fails to dispense

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs
• Access method varies by model; remove dispenser drawer or top panel per your model's service instructions
• Inspect surrounding seals and clips; replace if damaged to prevent leaks

Touch-up paint for repairing small chips, scratches and scuffs on painted appliance surfaces. Restores the appearance of localized damage so repaired areas better blend with the surrounding finish. What it does:

• Covers small chips and surface scratches to improve cosmetic appearance.
• Helps conceal finish wear on painted metal and plastic trim.
• Lets you spot-repair without replacing large panels or parts.
• Works for quick, visible fixes where full repainting isn't needed.

• Clean and dry the repair area thoroughly before applying; remove loose paint or rust.
• Test on an inconspicuous area first to confirm color match and compatibility.
• Apply sparingly in thin coats with a small brush or cotton swab; allow each coat to dry before adding more.
• Use in a well-ventilated area and keep out of reach of children; follow any handling instructions on the product label.

Seal head assembly replaces the seal around the dishwasher pump motor shaft to stop leaks and protect the motor. It restores a watertight seal so the dishwasher drains safely and avoids cabinet water damage. What it does:

• Seals the pump motor shaft to prevent water from leaking into the motor and cabinet.
• Helps stop under-dishwasher puddling, external leaks, and moisture-related motor issues when the original seal fails.
• Restores proper drainage path by maintaining the seal between the pump and housing.
• Compatible with service procedures that replace the pump seal as directed by OEM diagrams.

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing.
• Drain the dishwasher and remove access panels to reach the pump; handle the seal carefully to avoid damage.
• Inspect surrounding gaskets and pump housing for wear; replace any damaged components to ensure a proper seal.
• After installation, run a short cycle and check thoroughly for leaks before returning the dishwasher to regular use.
