• Helps prevent looseness or separation that can disrupt performance
• Direct replacement for broken, brittle, or deformed connectors
• Can resolve intermittent operation traced to a poor connection at this junction

• 1 connector

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Note orientation and positions before removal to ensure correct reassembly
• Seat the connector fully until any locking features engage; do not force
• Inspect mating parts for wear or damage and replace if necessary

This electronic control board is the dishwasher's main "brain," coordinating the fill, wash, drain, and dry sequences. Replacing a failed board can restore normal operation when the dishwasher is unresponsive, won't start cycles, or behaves erratically.

• Directs power and timing to valves, pumps, and heater for each cycle step
• Monitors inputs from sensors and the door latch to advance or pause the cycle
• Communicates with the user interface for button inputs and status lights
• Typical failure symptoms: no power to controls or won't start; stops mid-cycle or won't advance; blinking lights or error codes; intermittent operation

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; verify no power at the dishwasher
• Access location varies by model; commonly behind the lower toe panel in a protective control housing
• Handle the board by the edges and use ESD protection; move wire connectors one at a time to the new board and secure the housing
• After installation, run the built-in diagnostics per the tech sheet; some models may require control configuration

This brace connector secures a support brace inside the appliance to help keep internal panels and assemblies aligned and stable. Replacing a worn or damaged connector restores proper support and reduces noise and movement. What it does:

• Helps maintain proper alignment of connected components
• Replaces broken or corroded connector hardware to restore secure mounting

• One brace connector

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Access may require removing outer or control panels; save existing fasteners for reuse
• Use basic hand tools; avoid overtightening to prevent cracking plastic or bending metal
• Inspect and replace as needed

This fine screen is the small mesh filter that sits in the dishwasher sump to catch food particles and help protect the pump and wash system. It keeps debris from circulating so dishes rinse more effectively. What it does:

• Traps food and debris in the sump to prevent clogging and pump damage
• Helps maintain proper water flow for consistent wash and drain performance
• Reduces risk of food redepositing on dishes during cycles
• Commonly replaced when torn, heavily clogged, or missing

• One fine mesh sump screen

• Turn off power and disconnect the dishwasher before servicing
• Remove the lower dish rack and access the sump area to replace the screen
• Inspect surrounding seals and housing for damage while servicing
• No special tools typically required; handle mesh gently to avoid deformation

This Barrier protects and separates appliance components, keeping wiring and parts properly aligned for reliable operation. It's a simple, durable replacement that restores the original spacing and support inside the appliance. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting/separation surface to prevent rubbing or contact between parts
• Helps maintain correct component alignment to reduce vibration and noise
• Prevents wiring or small parts from contacting hot or moving components
• Common symptom: visible cracks, breaks, or shifted parts where components no longer sit securely

• One barrier as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Remove any panels or covers that block access; keep track of fasteners
• This part typically installs with screws or snap-fit tabs—do not force components

This jumper wire connects control board circuits at the range/oven control panel to restore proper panel signaling. It's a simple replacement that helps resolve intermittent or missing control responses caused by a broken or damaged jumper. What it does:

• Bridges specific control panel terminals to complete circuit paths between the user interface and main control
• Restores continuity when an existing jumper is cracked, corroded, or broken
• Helps eliminate intermittent touch/control pad failures or non-responsive buttons linked to a faulty jumper
• Small, direct-use part for electronic control troubleshooting

• One jumper wire as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Access may require removing the control panel or console—follow OEM service instructions
• Handle wiring and connectors carefully to avoid bending pins or damaging the control board

This plate-latch strike secures the appliance door by engaging the latch assembly so the door stays closed during operation. It replaces a worn or damaged strike to restore proper door closure and reliable operation. What it does:

• Provides a sturdy contact point for the door latch to engage and hold the door closed
• Helps prevent the door from popping open during use, which can cause cycle interruption
• Addresses symptoms like a door that won't stay latched, won't close fully, or causes the unit to stop mid-cycle
• Works as the mating strike for the existing latch assembly to ensure proper alignment

• One plate-latch strike

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access the strike by opening the door; remove any trim or screws as needed to reach the strike mounting location
• Install replacement in the same orientation as the original and tighten fasteners securely without over-torquing
• After installation, verify the door latches smoothly and the appliance completes its normal cycle

This disk valve diverter directs wash water flow between spray arms and wash zones to restore proper circulation and cleaning performance. It replaces a worn or damaged diverter to help return consistent spray pressure and distribution. What it does:

• Routes pump water to the correct spray arm or wash zone during the wash cycle
• Helps maintain even spray pressure for effective cleaning
• Worn or broken diverter can cause poor cleaning, reduced water to a spray arm, or unusual pump noise
• Prevents bypass flow that can reduce wash performance

• One disk valve diverter as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance and shut off the water supply before starting
• Access may require removing the tub access panel or disassembling spray arm/tub components
• Inspect surrounding seals and gaskets; replace any damaged parts to prevent leaks
• After installation, run a short cycle and check for proper water routing and leaks
