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

• 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
