The door balance mount is the side-frame bracket that supports the dishwasher's door counterbalance system. When worn or broken, it can let the door drop, slam, bind, or feel heavy. Replacing it restores smooth, controlled door movement. What it does

• Anchors the door springs and balance link/cable to counterbalance the door's weight
• Helps the door open and close smoothly without dropping or slamming
• Guides the balance link for consistent, quiet movement
• Common symptoms: door feels heavy or uneven, falls open, won't stay put, or makes grinding/squeaking noises; visible damage to the bracket or rollers

• Helps prevent the comb strip from loosening or popping off the rack
• Common symptoms: flexrow won't stay attached, tines collapse or misalign, broken or missing clip
• Restores original rack function and stability

• Disconnect power to the dishwasher for safety
• Pull the rack out and locate the flexrow comb and its retainer
• Release the old retainer's locking tabs (a small flat-blade screwdriver can help), then remove it

This vent door bezel is the trim piece that frames the vent opening on the dishwasher door. It restores a clean, finished look and helps keep the vent assembly properly seated if the original bezel is cracked, loose, or missing.

• Mounts on the exterior of the door around the vent outlet
• Provides a finished edge and helps retain the vent assembly/gasket
• Replaces damaged or missing trim that won't stay attached
• Common symptoms: broken tabs, loose or rattling vent trim, visible gap or cosmetic damage around the vent

• Disconnect power to the appliance; turn off water supply if needed
• Open the door and remove fasteners to access the vent area behind the panel
• Release the old bezel (tabs/screws), align the new bezel, and secure flush to the panel
• Do not overtighten fasteners; avoid vibration or leaks

This sump and motor assembly replaces the lower tub sump with the circulation pump pre-installed. It restores proper water recirculation to the spray arms and a tight seal at the tub floor to help reduce leaks and noise.

• Circulates wash water through the spray arms for consistent cleaning performance
• Channels and filters water beneath the tub via the integrated sump
• Maintains a watertight seal at the tub base
• Common symptoms of failure: weak or no spray action, poor cleaning results, loud humming/grinding during wash, or water leaking from the center bottom area

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing; allow internal components to cool
• Remove the lower rack, spray arm, and filters to access the sump; disconnect hoses and wiring, then release the locking tabs to remove the assembly
• Ensure all seals/O-rings are properly seated; fully engage hose and electrical connections to prevent leaks
• After installation, run a brief test cycle and inspect carefully for leaks before reassembling panels

This feed tube assembly channels wash water from the pump to the upper spray system. Replacing a cracked or obstructed tube helps restore upper-rack cleaning performance and can prevent leaks at the back of the tub. What it does:

• Routes water from the circulation pump to the rear manifold/upper spray system
• Helps maintain proper spray pressure for upper-rack washing
• Addresses visible cracks, broken locking tabs, or mineral buildup on the tube

• 1 feed tube assembly

• Disconnect power and shut off water to the dishwasher before servicing
• Remove racks as needed; release retaining tabs/clips and detach the tube from its connections
• Inspect and reuse existing seals/clips only if in good condition; replace worn seals
• Ensure the tube is fully seated and latched at all connection points before reassembly

This inner door seal forms a moisture barrier between the dishwasher tub and the door assembly, helping keep wash water and steam contained. Replacing a worn seal can stop drips at the door and protect internal components.

• Seals the joint along the inner door to contain wash water and steam
• Helps prevent door-area leaks or drips during cycles
• Blocks moisture from entering the door cavity where electrical parts reside
• Common signs: water at the bottom/sides of the door, damp control area, visible wear/flattening or tears on the seal

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Open the door and remove perimeter screws to separate inner/outer door panels
• Remove the old seal; clean the mounting surface and note seal orientation
• Press the new seal firmly into place, reassemble, and run a leak check

This replacement screw secures appliance components, panels, and brackets. It restores a tight, reliable hold when an original fastener is missing or damaged, helping eliminate rattles, gaps, or shifting parts.

• Fastens two or more parts together inside the appliance
• Helps keep panels, brackets, or trim securely in place
• Can reduce vibration, rattling, or loose handles caused by missing/loose screws
• Replaces worn, stripped, or corroded fasteners

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Match location and orientation to the original fastener
