This normally closed pushbutton switch controls an on/off circuit in the appliance. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable light shutoff and interlock response so the unit behaves correctly when the button or door/plunger is pressed.

• NC operation: circuit is closed at rest and opens when the button is pressed
• Commonly used for door/light or interlock "off" functions in compatible assemblies
• Symptoms can include: light stays on with door closed, light won't turn on, unit won't start because door isn't detected, or intermittent operation
• Helps ensure consistent, repeatable switch actuation

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Note/photograph wire locations; move wires to the same terminals on the new switch
• Mount securely and align the actuator with the button or door plunger
• Restore power and test for proper operation before reassembly

The water inlet is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It serves as the water inlet valve, responsible for regulating the flow of water into the dishwasher during cycles. 

Symptoms of a bad water inlet include:

• Inability to fill with water or intermittent filling 
• Leaks or water spray from the inlet area
• Odd sounds like sputtering or crackling from the valve
• Soap residue or film left after cycles from insufficient rinsing

Causes of a bad inlet water valve can include mineral buildup from hard water, stuck or clogged waterways, or mechanical failure of sealing components. Over time and use, inlet valves can degrade leading to improper water distribution. 

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

• Helps maintain proper door performance when the original insulation is worn or missing
• Replace if torn, degraded, or waterlogged, or if noise/condensation around the door has increased

• 1 door insulation pad

• Disconnect power and shut off water to the dishwasher before servicing
• Support the door; remove perimeter screws to separate the inner and outer door panels
• Note the pad's orientation; seat the new insulation evenly without pinching wires or harnesses
• Reassemble panels and fasteners; verify smooth door/latch operation

This ram stop is a small control component used in the ram assembly of trash compactors. It limits ram travel so the compactor stops at the correct position and the drawer opens smoothly after each cycle.

• Limits the upward travel of the ram to a fixed stop point
• Helps the ram return fully to the up position at the end of the cycle
• Reduces binding and prevents over-travel that can strain components
• Typical symptoms include a drawer that won't open or is hard to open, or a ram that doesn't return to the top

• Disconnect power to the compactor before servicing
• Remove the drawer/bin for access and support the ram
• Remove the damaged stop and install the replacement, ensuring it is fully seated and correctly oriented
• Run an empty test cycle to confirm the ram stops at the proper height

This Shield is a protective cover used in select Whirlpool-built appliances. It helps guard nearby components from heat, moisture, and debris so the appliance can operate as designed and nearby parts don't wear prematurely. What it does:

• Helps maintain proper airflow/deflection where the shield is installed
• Common symptoms include visible cracks, warping/discoloration, broken tabs, rattling from a loose shield, or a missing/bent shield after service

• 1 shield

• Disconnect power before servicing; also shut off gas or water if applicable
