The Pump and Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is the central water distribution component tasked with pumping water through the dishwasher at various pressures to circulate water, spray contents, and rinse away food particles during cycles. Without a functioning pump and motor, the dishwasher cannot clean or sanitize dishes.

Symptoms of a bad pump and motor include: 

• Dishes not receiving sufficient water spray during the wash cycle
• Inability to drain or fill the dishwasher properly 
• Loud knocking or knocking sounds emanating from the pump area
• Leaks in or around the pump housing

Causes can be a failed motor, worn impeller, or cracking and leaks in the plastic pump body itself due to age and constant use. 

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

This factory fastener replaces a worn, stripped, or missing screw to securely hold appliance components in place, restoring proper fit and reducing vibration, noise, and loosening issues. It helps maintain alignment and safe operation of the affected assembly. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or internal components as designed for the appliance
• Maintains assembly alignment for reliable performance
• Helps prevent rattling or vibration from loose hardware
• Replace when the original screw is missing, corroded, stripped, or damaged

• 1 screw

• Disconnect power; for gas- or water-connected appliances, shut off supply before servicing
• Match the screw to its original location and retain any spacers or clips used with the original
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver size
• Tighten until snug; do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads

The Top Spray Arm is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It serves an important role on the upper rack, directing a spray of water across dishes during the wash cycle to thoroughly clean all surfaces. As a rotating component, the top spray arm endures constant motion which can cause wear over time.

Causes of a bad top spray arm include deterioration or cracks in the plastic from extended use, or blockages that restrict water flow.

Symptoms of a bad top spray arm include:

• Incomplete cleaning of upper rack dishes
• Buildup of food debris or grime that won't rinse away
• Noticeably weaker spray pattern from the arm nozzles

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

The Sump is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It houses the dishwasher's motor and pump assembly, responsible for circulating water and ensuring effective cleaning of your dishes.

A bad sump can occur due to wear and tear, clogs, or damage caused by foreign objects. If you notice issues such as water not draining properly, leaks, or unusual noises during the dishwasher cycle, it may indicate a problem with the sump.

Symptoms of a bad sump include:

• Water not draining or draining slowly from the dishwasher
• Leaks or water pooling at the bottom of the dishwasher
• Unusual noises such as grinding or rattling sounds

Replace your faulty sump with this genuine OEM part to restore your dishwasher. 

This Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

The Dishrack Stop Clip is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. It secures the sliding dishwasher rack at the rear of the tub.

Symptoms of a faulty stop clip include:

• Dishes shifting position or toppling during cycles of motion  
• Noisy clattering heard from partially-restricted rack movement
• The dishrack failing to fully retract or extend 

Over time, repeated force from dish impacts can bend the thin metal clip out of place. Fatigue causes it to lose retaining strength.

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

The Panel Toe is an OEM part compatible with GE dishwashers. It is a discreet metallic strip located along the bottom front panel of the appliance. The toe provides protection and reinforcement to this high-impact area.   

Causes of a bad panel toe include normal wear from opening and closing the dishwasher door hundreds of times each year. Misalignment from door impact can also cause premature deterioration.

Symptoms of a bad panel toe include: 

• Visible cracking, bending, or detachment of the toe strip
• Potential for other panel issues if toe integrity is compromised
• Possible denting or distortion of neighboring surfaces
• Aesthetic issues and reduced protection of front panel edges

This genuine GE replacement part restores the structure and helps prevent further damage. Compatible Dishwasher models also include some Hotpoint, Profile, and Kenmore units.
 

The Retainer is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It securely holds the top spray arm in place underneath the dishwasher interior roof panel.

Causes of a bad retainer include cracking, breaking or deforming from repeated use and natural wear over time.

Symptoms of a bad top spray arm retainer are:

• Loosening or detachment of the upper spray arm during washing cycles
• Reduced or uneven water coverage for upper rack dishes
• Potential rattling or noise from an unsecured spray arm

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

This replacement capacitor stores and releases energy to give an AC motor the phase shift it needs to start and run smoothly. Installing a fresh capacitor can help when a motor hums, struggles to start, or cycles off. What it does

The Insulation is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It is located inside the dishwasher tub and helps maintain optimal temperatures during the wash cycle. The insulation forms a barrier that minimizes heat transfer between the tub interior and exterior cabinet walls.  

Causes of bad insulation can include cracks or compression damage over time. Excess moisture during washing may also cause premature breakdown.

Symptoms of a bad insulation include:

• Inability to efficiently heat or maintain water temperatures  
• Extended cycle times and higher energy usage
• Temperature fluctuation issues can trigger error codes
• Condensation or moisture inside the cabinet walls

This genuine OEM GE insulation restores the tub's optimal thermal properties. It is also compatible with some Hotpoint, Profile, and select Kenmore models manufactured for Sears. Replace yours now to optimize energy efficiency and washing performance.
 

This power cord strain relief secures the cord where it passes through the appliance cabinet, protecting the jacket and preventing pull on internal connections. Replacing a cracked or missing connector restores a safe, stable cord entry. What it does:

• Secures the power cord at the cabinet entry to relieve strain on internal terminals or junction connections
• Provides a protective bushing to reduce abrasion of the cord jacket against cabinet edges
• Helps maintain proper routing and support for the incoming power cord
• Typical signs it's needed: loose or wobbly cord at entry, broken/missing connector, or visible chafing on the cord jacket
