This foam pad installs between the inner and outer door panels of a dishwasher to dampen sound and help shield the outer panel from heat and moisture, keeping operation quieter and the door better protected. What it does:

• Lines the inside of the outer door panel to reduce operating noise and vibration
• Acts as a thermal and moisture barrier for the outer door panel
• 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 dishwasher overfill control float mounts in the tub floor and rises with the water level to trip the float switch and stop filling. Replacing a warped or stuck float restores proper fill control and helps prevent leaks. What it does:

• Monitors tub water level and actuates the float switch to shut off the inlet valve
• Helps prevent overfilling and water leaking from the door
• Common symptoms of a faulty float include no fill, continuous filling/overfilling, or inconsistent water level

• Float and retainer

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack; lift out the old float
• Access beneath the tub may be required to release/install the retainer
• Ensure the float stem engages the switch lever and moves freely; test-fill and check for leaks

This dishrack organizes and supports dishes inside the dishwasher during wash cycles. Replacing a damaged rack restores smooth loading, keeps items upright, and helps prevent rust stains or snags from broken tines or flaking rack coating.

• Holds and organizes plates, bowls, and cookware during wash and rinse cycles
• Keeps items spaced and upright to promote spray coverage and drainage
• Slides in and out on the rails when the rack is straight and intact
• Common failure signs: rusting/chipping coating, broken or bent tines, cracked or warped wire frame
• Needed if dishes won't stay put or the rack binds when moving on the tracks

• Disconnect power at the breaker and turn off water before servicing interior parts
• Open the door, extend the rack, and remove rail end caps to release the rack
• Transfer any clip-on components from the old rack to the new rack as needed
• Seat the rack on the rails, reinstall end caps, and check for smooth operation

This manifold channels wash water within the dishwasher's spray system. Replacing a damaged or clogged manifold helps restore proper water flow and cleaning performance while reducing the chance of leaks at internal connection points.

• Routes high-pressure wash water through the dishwasher's spray system
• Maintains a sealed path to help prevent internal leaks
• Supports consistent spray pressure for effective cleaning coverage
• Helps resolve symptoms such as poor cleaning, weak spray, leaks, or visible cracks in the manifold

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Access from inside the tub; remove racks or panels as needed to reach the manifold
• Release retaining clips/screws and note the manifold's orientation; inspect any related seals/O-rings and replace if worn
• Reassemble and run a short cycle to check for proper spray and leaks

This run capacitor helps start and keep the motor running smoothly by providing the necessary phase shift and torque boost. A weak capacitor can cause hard starting, humming, or intermittent motor operation.

• Supplies continuous phase shift to maintain motor rotation
• Helps the motor start reliably under load
• Symptoms can include humming, slow or no start, or overheating shutdown
• Restores normal operation when the original capacitor has weakened

• Disconnect power before servicing; discharge the old capacitor safely
• Note wire locations and transfer leads to the new capacitor one-by-one
• Mount securely in the original bracket or location to prevent vibration
• If the motor still won't start, further diagnosis of the motor or start device may be required

This latch actuator links the door lock mechanism on select ranges and wall ovens, engaging and releasing the door as designed. Replacing a worn or bent actuator restores smooth latch movement and reliable door locking during normal use and self-clean cycles. What it does:

• Transfers motion within the latch assembly to lock and unlock the oven door
• Helps the door lock engage for self-clean and release when complete
• Addresses issues like a door that won't lock/unlock or latch fully
• Can resolve incomplete self-clean cycles caused by a misaligned or damaged latch linkage

• 1 latch actuator

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the latch assembly per your model's service/parts diagram
• Note the actuator's orientation and any linkage/spring positions before removal
• Verify smooth manual latch operation before reassembling and restoring power

This adjustable leveling leg threads into the appliance base to set height and stabilize the cabinet. Replacing a worn or missing leg helps stop rocking and vibration and helps maintain proper alignment for reliable operation.

• Provides adjustable support at one corner of the appliance
• Helps level the unit for correct alignment with floor or cabinetry
• Reduces rocking, vibration, and rattling noises
• Replaces stripped, bent, cracked, or missing leg

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Carefully support or brace the appliance to access the base safely
• Start the new leg by hand to avoid cross-threading; adjust height gradually
• Use a level to check side-to-side and front-to-back, then recheck after positioning

Replacement 8-32-thread screw used to secure panels, brackets and small components in compatible household appliances. Restores missing or stripped fasteners so panels and parts stay firmly attached during normal use. What it does:

• Secures trim, panels, brackets and control housings to maintain proper assembly.
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that can cause rattling, loose panels or misaligned components.
• Fits locations that require an 8-32 threaded fastener; correct length and head style for your application.
• Helps restore stable, vibration-free operation when worn or stripped fasteners are replaced.

• Disconnect power and water before servicing; wear eye protection and gloves.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the screw head.
• Do not overtighten—turn until snug and secure to avoid damaging threads or surrounding parts.
• If the original used a washer or nut, reuse or replace as needed and the screw length and head type match the original.

This front seal sits at the leading edge of the dishwasher door opening to keep wash water and steam contained. Replacing a worn seal helps stop front-edge drips and protects adjacent cabinetry and flooring.

• Creates a watertight barrier along the front tub-to-door interface
• Helps prevent leaks at the bottom/front of the door during cycles
• Replace if the seal is cracked, flattened, torn, or missing
• Common symptoms: water under the kick panel, damp streaks at the front lip, visible wear

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Open the door, remove the old seal, and clean the front lip/channel thoroughly
• Center and press the new seal fully into place without stretching; ensure even compression
• Close the door and run a short test cycle to check for leaks

Size: 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

A small metal clip that secures the appliance's ground wire to the chassis. Restores a reliable ground connection to reduce loose or arcing contacts and help prevent intermittent electrical faults. What it does:

• Secures the ground wire to the appliance frame to maintain a solid earth connection.
• Prevents a loose ground that can cause arcing, intermittent power issues, or visible sparking at the connection.
• Holds the wire in place through normal vibration and movement so terminals stay tight and stable.
• Replaces damaged, bent, or missing grounding fasteners to restore safe electrical continuity.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before inspecting or replacing the clip.
• Use proper hand tools to remove and reinstall the screw or fastener that holds the clip—do not overtighten.
• Ensure the ground wire is routed and stripped correctly; replace wiring if insulation or conductor is damaged.
