This Whirlpool Dishwasher Handle is an OEM part compatible with various Whirlpool dishwasher models. As a crucial component for the user interface of the dishwasher, this handle ensures effortless opening and closing of the appliance. 

The deterioration of dishwasher handles typically stems from regular wear and tear. Frequent usage, accidental impacts, or environmental factors can contribute to the handle becoming loose, misaligned, or entirely broken. 

Symptoms of a malfunctioning dishwasher handle include:

• Resistance or difficulty in opening or closing the dishwasher door.
• The handle feels loose or unstable.
• Visible cracks or damages on the handle.
• The door does not seal correctly, leading to potential leaks.

This genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models
 

This miniature door switch is the snap-action interlock that tells the appliance when the door is closed. Replacing a worn or sticking switch restores reliable start/stop and proper door-status sensing for safe, consistent operation. What it does:

• Acts as the latch/interlock sensor for door open/closed status
• Signals the control to allow or prevent operation based on door position
• Typical symptoms include: won't start or shows a door message, stops when the door is bumped, or light/fan behavior doesn't match door position

• 1 miniature door switch

• Disconnect power before servicing. If working on a microwave, high voltage may be present even when unplugged—properly discharge the capacitor.
• Access the latch/interlock area; note wire positions and transfer one lead at a time to the new switch.
• Use a multimeter to confirm the switch changes continuity when pressed before reassembly.

The Pressure Chamber is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This part is responsible for monitoring and controlling the water level within the dishwasher. It operates by sensing the pressure exerted by the height of the water in the tub and ensures that the dishwasher fills with the correct amount of water for optimal cleaning performance.

Causes for replacement may involve wear and tear over extended use, mineral buildup affecting the switch’s sensitivity, or electrical faults leading to inconsistent performance.  

Symptoms of a failing Pressure Chamber include:

• Overfilling or underfilling of the dishwasher, which can lead to inadequate cleaning or potential water damage.
• Unexpected changes in the wash cycle, such as sudden stops or pauses.
• The dishwasher not starting a wash cycle due to incorrect water level readings.

This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.
