Used on the upper dishwasher dishrack.

This manifold channels wash water within the dishwasher's spray system. Replacing a damaged or clogged manifold helps restore proper water flow and cleaning performance while reducing the chance of leaks at internal connection points.

• Routes high-pressure wash water through the dishwasher's spray system
• Maintains a sealed path to help prevent internal leaks
• Supports consistent spray pressure for effective cleaning coverage
• Helps resolve symptoms such as poor cleaning, weak spray, leaks, or visible cracks in the manifold

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Access from inside the tub; remove racks or panels as needed to reach the manifold
• Release retaining clips/screws and note the manifold's orientation; inspect any related seals/O-rings and replace if worn
• Reassemble and run a short cycle to check for proper spray and leaks

This lite item clip attaches to the dishwasher rack to secure lightweight cups, lids, and small containers during the wash. It helps prevent shifting and flipping so items stay upright, clean effectively, and avoid damage from spray action.

• Clips onto rack wires/tines to stabilize light items
• Helps keep small cups and lids upright for better cleaning and drying
• Replace if the clip is cracked, loose, or missing
• Common symptoms: items tipping over, rattling, or not staying in place during a cycle

• Open the dishwasher and pull the rack forward for access
• Align the clip with a rack wire/tine and press to snap it in place
• Position to support items; the rack slides freely and spray arms clear the clip
• Disconnect power before servicing if you need to reach past the racks or remove components

This run capacitor helps start and keep the motor running smoothly by providing the necessary phase shift and torque boost. A weak capacitor can cause hard starting, humming, or intermittent motor operation.

• Supplies continuous phase shift to maintain motor rotation
• Helps the motor start reliably under load
• Symptoms can include humming, slow or no start, or overheating shutdown
• Restores normal operation when the original capacitor has weakened

• Disconnect power before servicing; discharge the old capacitor safely
• Note wire locations and transfer leads to the new capacitor one-by-one
• Mount securely in the original bracket or location to prevent vibration
• If the motor still won't start, further diagnosis of the motor or start device may be required

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

Replacement 8-32-thread screw used to secure panels, brackets and small components in compatible household appliances. Restores missing or stripped fasteners so panels and parts stay firmly attached during normal use. What it does:

• Secures trim, panels, brackets and control housings to maintain proper assembly.

• If the original used a washer or nut, reuse or replace as needed and the screw length and head type match the original.

This front seal sits at the leading edge of the dishwasher door opening to keep wash water and steam contained. Replacing a worn seal helps stop front-edge drips and protects adjacent cabinetry and flooring.

• Creates a watertight barrier along the front tub-to-door interface
• Helps prevent leaks at the bottom/front of the door during cycles
• Replace if the seal is cracked, flattened, torn, or missing
• Common symptoms: water under the kick panel, damp streaks at the front lip, visible wear

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Open the door, remove the old seal, and clean the front lip/channel thoroughly
• Center and press the new seal fully into place without stretching; ensure even compression
• Close the door and run a short test cycle to check for leaks

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

Size: 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

A small metal clip that secures the appliance's ground wire to the chassis. Restores a reliable ground connection to reduce loose or arcing contacts and help prevent intermittent electrical faults. What it does:

• Secures the ground wire to the appliance frame to maintain a solid earth connection.
• Prevents a loose ground that can cause arcing, intermittent power issues, or visible sparking at the connection.
• Holds the wire in place through normal vibration and movement so terminals stay tight and stable.
• Replaces damaged, bent, or missing grounding fasteners to restore safe electrical continuity.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before inspecting or replacing the clip.
• Use proper hand tools to remove and reinstall the screw or fastener that holds the clip—do not overtighten.
• Ensure the ground wire is routed and stripped correctly; replace wiring if insulation or conductor is damaged.

This standpipe houses the washer's overfill control and directs excess water into the drain path, helping prevent overfilling and internal flooding. It's a direct-fit replacement for the factory overfill control housing. What it does:

• Provides the sealed channel for excess wash water to flow to the drain
• Supports and locates the overfill/level control assembly
• Helps stop water from overflowing the tub and causing leaks
• Can resolve symptoms like unexplained overfilling, water leaking at the washer base, or fill-level issues

• Disconnect power and shut off water before starting any repair
• Access may require removing the washer top or control housing
• Inspect surrounding gaskets and hoses for wear; replace if damaged
• Handle plastic components carefully to avoid cracking; test operation after reassembly

This tube nut secures the water inlet tubing to its fitting, creating a tight, leak-resistant connection. Use it when the original nut is cracked, stripped, or can no longer hold the line securely.

• Tightens over the inlet fitting to clamp the water tube and form a reliable seal
• Helps stop drips at the water-line connection point
• Addresses loose or damaged inlet connections and difficulty keeping the tube seated
• Commonly replaced when the nut is worn, cross-threaded, or visibly cracked

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel to catch residual water and relieve line pressure
• Hold the fitting with one wrench while tightening the nut with another to avoid twisting components
• Do not overtighten; restore water and check for leaks after installation
• Inspect the tubing, ferrule/sleeve, and insert; replace if worn or damaged

A threaded screw used to secure appliance components where an 8-16 thread is specified. Provides a straightforward replacement fastener to restore original fit and keep panels, brackets, and internal parts held securely. What it does:

• Replaces missing, corroded, stripped, or damaged screws to stop rattling, gaps, or loose parts.
• Restores reliable mechanical connection after service or part replacement.
• Compatible where the OEM specifies an 8-16 screw for mounting or securing components.

• Use the correct driver to avoid stripping the head; start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading.
• Tighten until secure but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to mounting holes or plastic parts.
• If working near electrical components, disconnect power and follow all safety precautions.
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged before installing this screw.

This sump tab secures the dishwasher's sump assembly to the tub opening, keeping it properly aligned and sealed. Replace a broken or missing tab to address movement, rattling, or leaks originating from the sump area.
