The Inlet Hose is an OEM part for Whirlpool built-in dishwasher models. This hose delivers fresh water from the household supply to the appliance spray arms and pumps. 

Symptoms of a faulty inlet hose include:

• Leaks or drips around hose connections  
• Kinks or cracks in the supply line tubing
• Restricted or no water flow to critical systems
• Improper water levels causing wash performance issues

Causes can be deformation from tight bends over time. Mineral buildup inside the hose is also common with extended use. Accidental damage during plumbing work presents another potential cause.

This authentic Whirlpool replacement is compatible with some Maytag, Jenn-Air and Amana dishwasher brands as well.

The Sensor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It detects the level of dirt and food particles in the wash water to help the dishwasher adjust the wash cycle accordingly, providing efficient and thorough cleaning results. It monitors the clarity of the water and determines when additional rinsing or detergent is needed.

Symptoms of a faulty sensor include:

• Inadequate cleaning performance
• Dishes remaining dirty or stained after a wash cycle
• Extended cycle times or the dishwasher not completing the cycle

A bad sensor can occur due to regular usage, buildup of residue or debris, or electronic malfunctions. If you notice issues such as poor cleaning results, dishes not being thoroughly washed, or the dishwasher not completing the cycle, it may be time to replace the sensor with this genuine OEM part.

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