Amana Dishwasher DCR21101DOS Leaking

This coupler gasket creates a tight, leak-resistant seal at a coupler connection point, helping maintain proper operation of the assembly. Replace when the original gasket is worn, cracked, or flattened to prevent drips and seepage.

• Forms the seal between a coupler and its mating component
• Helps prevent water seepage and air intrusion at the joint
• Supports correct flow/pressure through the connection
• Common symptoms: drips at the fitting, moisture around the coupler, or needing to over-tighten to stop leaks

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Relieve line pressure and place a towel to catch residual water
• Clean mating surfaces; seat the gasket squarely in the coupler recess
• Tighten fittings evenly; restore service and check for leaks

The Dishwasher Adapter is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It serves as a connector, allowing various components of the dishwasher to interface correctly and ensuring proper water flow and pressure throughout the appliance.

Cracks, wear, or damage to the adapter can cause significant issues with the dishwasher's performance.

Symptoms of a bad Dishwasher Adapter include:

• Leaks under or around the dishwasher
• Poor water pressure during cycles
• The dishwasher failing to fill or drain correctly
• Visible cracks or damage to the adapter

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

This small retaining clip secures components in place inside the appliance, helping prevent movement, vibration, and premature wear. Replace a bent, fatigued, or missing clip to restore a solid, factory-tight hold.

• Holds panels, brackets, or tubing securely in their mounts
• Helps maintain alignment to reduce rattles, rubbing, or intermittent issues
• Common signs of failure: missing clip, loose fit, buzzing/vibration, parts that won't stay seated
• Restores proper retention after service, transport, or vibration-related fatigue

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before servicing
• Note the original clip's orientation; remove with needle-nose pliers
• Seat the new clip fully—do not over-bend; spring tension provides the hold
• Test operation before reassembly
