This replacement rail restores smooth rack movement and proper alignment in compatible dishwashers. It helps support the rack and keep rollers on track so the rack slides in and out without binding. What it does

• Supports and guides a dishwasher rack so it rolls smoothly along its track
• Helps prevent the rack from slipping off or catching while opening or closing
• Can reduce grinding or scraping noises caused by a damaged or bent rail
• Restores proper rack alignment for reliable loading and unloading

• One rail

• Turn off power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Remove the affected rack and rollers as needed to access and replace the rail
• Inspect rollers and mounting clips; replace any worn hardware to ensure proper fit

This base panel is the lower kick plate that finishes the front bottom of the appliance and helps protect internal components from debris while keeping the cabinet appearance consistent. It replaces a worn, bent, or damaged lower panel. What it does:

• Covers and protects the appliance's lower cavity and components from dust, debris and accidental contact
• Restores proper fit and appearance when the original panel is dented, cracked, or loose
• Helps reduce drafts and keeps the oven/range base sealed from the front
• Can stop rattling caused by a damaged or misaligned lower panel

• One base panel

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work and follow manufacturer safety instructions
• Typically accessed from the front by removing the kick plate or bottom drawer; keep track of fasteners
• Handle edges carefully — metal panels can be sharp

This is the appliance's main power on/off switch. It restores reliable control of electrical power to the unit so you can turn it on and off consistently.

• Controls AC power to the appliance's user interface and electronics
• Worn or stuck switch can cause no power, intermittent power, or inability to shut off
• Spongy or loose button feel may indicate internal switch failure

• Disconnect power before service to avoid electrical shock
• Access typically requires removing the control panel or console
• Note wire positions or take a photo before disconnecting
• Do not force tabs; transfer any clips or boots from the old switch if present

This suspension damper stabilizes the tub/drum by absorbing movement and vibration during operation. Replacing a worn damper helps reduce shaking and noise, improving spin performance and overall machine stability. What it does:

• Absorbs and controls tub/drum movement to reduce vibration and noise
• Helps prevent banging, "walking," or out-of-balance shutdowns during spin
• Can address excessive shaking, rattling, and longer spin times
• Restores smoother, more controlled operation when the original damper is worn

• One suspension damper

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access location varies by model; support the tub/drum to relieve load before removal
• Note orientation and reuse existing mounting hardware if new fasteners aren't provided
• After installation, re-level the appliance and run a test cycle to verify stability

This regeneration valve directs brine through your dishwasher's built-in water softener during recharge cycles, helping prevent hard-water film and spotting. Replacing a faulty valve restores consistent softening and better cleaning results.

• Opens to route salt brine through the ion-exchange resin during regeneration
