• Fastens the dispenser guard to its mounting point on the dispenser assembly
• Keeps the guard aligned to prevent interference with dispenser door/flow
• Restores a secure fit if the original clip is cracked, deformed, or missing
• Common symptoms: loose or missing guard, rattling, incomplete dispensing or residue left after a cycle

• 1 dispenser guard clip

• Disconnect power to the appliance; turn off water supply if applicable
• Open access, support the guard, and release the worn clip from its tabs
• Snap the new clip fully into place, ensuring it engages all locking points
• Ensure the guard is secure and that the dispenser door/flow path is unobstructed before use

Overfill control.

This diverter disc directs wash water to different spray zones during a cycle, helping ensure alternating spray patterns and thorough cleaning. A worn or damaged disc can cause poor wash performance or incorrect spray routing.

• Routes water from the sump to selected spray arms/zones
• Helps alternate spray to improve coverage and cleaning
• Worn discs may lead to weak spray, poor cleaning, or unusual cycle behavior
• Can contribute to water leaking at the diverter area if the seal interface is compromised

• Disconnect power and water before servicing
• Access is typically from the bottom; remove the toe kick and lower panel as needed
• Note the disc orientation in relation to the diverter mechanism during removal
• Inspect related components (diverter motor/shaft, seals, sump) and replace if worn

The Electronic Control Board is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. As the central processing unit, this board regulates all wash and rinse cycles according to preprogrammed instructions. It communicates timing and commands to other crucial components.

Symptoms of a faulty control board include: 

• Failure to power on or unresponsive touch controls  
• Inability to select or advance through wash cycles
• Noise or vibration issues from improper component operation 
• Error codes appearing repeatedly on the digital display

Causes can involve water intrusion corroding circuits or individual component failure due to prolonged operation. Over time, environmental factors may inhibit board performance.

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

• Reassemble the door and check for leaks before running a test cycle

This heater terminal nut fastens the heating element's electrical connector to its stud, keeping the connection tight under heat and vibration. Replacing a worn or missing nut restores safe contact and consistent heating performance.

• Secures the wire/ring terminal to the heater stud for a solid electrical connection
• Helps prevent arcing, discoloration, and heat damage from a loose connection
• Signs include a loose terminal, burnt odor, or melted/charred insulation at the heater connection

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance and element to cool completely before service
• Photograph wiring for reference; remove old hardware and clean the terminal
• Inspect the ring terminal, insulators, and stud; replace any heat-damaged components
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; snug with the correct nut driver—do not overtighten

This factory-specified screw secures panels, brackets, and internal components in your appliance. Replacing worn or missing hardware restores a tight fit to help reduce vibration, noise, and premature wear.

• Fastens sheet metal, brackets, or plastic parts as designed by the manufacturer
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration/rattling
• Direct replacement for stripped, corroded, or missing screws
• Common signs: loose panels or trim, shifting components, screw won't tighten

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supply if applicable
• Use the correct driver to avoid stripping the head
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Replace one-for-one in the original location per service information

This inlet protector is the coarse screen that covers the dishwasher's pump/sump inlet, blocking large debris from entering the wash system. Replacing a damaged or missing protector helps maintain water flow and protect the pump from jams or wear.

• Screens large food particles and debris from the pump/chopper inlet
• Helps maintain proper water circulation and consistent cleaning performance
• Reduces risk of pump damage or noisy operation from debris
• Common signs: cracked or missing screen, persistent debris in the sump, grinding/rumbling noises, or declining wash results

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack and spray arm; access the sump/accumulator area per your model
• Lift out the old protector; seat the new protector fully and secure any tabs/fasteners
• Reassemble and ensure the screen sits flat with no gaps

This dispenser water tube routes water from the inlet to the refrigerator's in-door dispenser manifold, helping ensure a steady, leak-free flow to the dispenser.

• Directs water from the supply line to the dispenser manifold
• A damaged or cracked tube can cause leaks, low/erratic dispenser flow, or air in the water line
• Replacing a leaking tube can help restore normal dispenser operation and prevent water damage

• Unplug refrigerator and shut off water supply before service
• Have a towel/container ready to catch residual water
• Note tube routing and connections; push-to-connect fittings may require firm seating for a watertight seal
• After installation, turn water on and check all joints for leaks

This overfill float and shaft assembly monitors the dishwasher's water level. As the tub fills, the float rises and triggers the float switch to shut off the inlet water, helping prevent overfilling and leaks.

• Senses tub water level and moves up/down with the water
• Activates the float switch to stop filling at the correct level
• Helps protect against overfill-related leaks
• Common symptoms include: won't fill (float stuck up), continuous filling/overfilling (float stuck down or damaged), or float not moving freely

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Lift the old float straight up from inside the tub; access the underside (behind the toe panel) as needed to release the shaft from the float switch lever
• Install the new shaft through the guide and onto the switch lever; seat the float so it moves freely
• Verify smooth float movement and test a fill cycle while checking for leaks

This cap is a small protective cover used on select appliances to close off an opening or fastener. Replacing a damaged or missing cap helps keep out debris and moisture while restoring a clean, finished appearance.
