This inlet hose is the internal water line for your dishwasher, routing fresh water from the fill valve into the wash system. Replacing a brittle or leaking hose restores reliable filling and helps protect floors and cabinetry from water damage.

• Channels incoming water from the inlet valve to the tub/sump
• Maintains proper fill level and flow at the start of each cycle
• A cracked, kinked, or loose hose can cause leaks or slow/no fill
• Restores correct water delivery and helps prevent water damage

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Pull the dishwasher forward for access; place a towel or pan to catch residual water
• Note the original routing and clamp positions; transfer clamps and avoid kinks
• Restore water, run a quick fill cycle, and check all connections for leaks

Mounts to the washer's lower frame to secure components and maintain alignment. Replace if bracket is cracked, broken, rusted, or missing hardware.

This Leg Adjusting Wrench is a simple tool used to turn and secure appliance leveling legs so washers and dryers sit flat and operate quietly. It makes adjusting legs faster and helps reduce rocking and vibration. What it does:

• Fits over standard appliance leveling legs to raise or lower each corner
• Helps stabilize machines to prevent rocking and uneven operation
• Reduces vibration and noise caused by unlevel appliances
• Useful when installing, moving, or re-leveling washers and dryers

• Turn legs slowly and adjust one corner at a time until the appliance sits level.
• Unplug the appliance (and shut off gas supply for gas dryers) before performing major moves or checks.
• Use caution to avoid pinching fingers when lowering legs; keep hands clear of pinch points.
• Check for damaged feet or mounting hardware and replace as needed.

Secures rubber hoses to fittings with constant spring tension to prevent leaks. Replace when rusted or weakened to maintain a tight seal. Confirm fit.

This clamp secures hoses or wiring to the appliance chassis to prevent movement, chafing, and vibration-related wear. It helps keep connections stable so hoses and wires stay in place during normal use. What it does:

• Holds water, drain or vent hoses in position to reduce strain and prevent rubbing
• Keeps wiring harnesses routed and fastened to avoid chafing or accidental disconnection
• Reduces vibration-related noise caused by loose hoses or wires
• Helps prevent hose kinks and unintended movement that can lead to leaks or intermittent electrical issues

• One clamp

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; shut off water supply if working with water lines
• Remove panels as needed to access the hose or wiring route, then replace the clamp in the same orientation
• Use appropriate pliers or a screwdriver if required; do not overtighten or deform the hose or wiring
• If the original clamp was secured with a fastener, retain and reuse it only if undamaged; replace any stripped or broken hardware

Replacement wire harness for washers. Restores electrical connections between components when original wiring is damaged, frayed, or corroded. Direct fit.

Protective access cover shields internal washer components from dirt and moisture. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore factory protection.

A replacement holder assembly that secures and supports internal components for proper alignment and operation. Restores stable mounting where the original bracket is cracked, bent, or broken so the appliance runs quietly and reliably. What it does

• Provides a secure mounting point for internal parts that rely on a fixed support
• Prevents rubbing, misalignment, and excess vibration caused by a damaged holder
• Helps restore correct component positioning to improve part interaction and operation
• Commonly used when the original bracket is cracked, worn, or no longer holds parts firmly

• One holder assembly

• Disconnect power before starting any repair; shut off water supply if the repair requires opening plumbing
• Basic hand tools typically required; handle clips and tabs gently to avoid damage
• Inspect adjacent components for wear and replace if needed for a long-lasting repair

• Helps prevent suspension damage and internal rattles while relocating
• Replaces missing, bent, or stripped transport bolts
• Useful for moves, storage, or service shipments
