Seal included. This sump housing assembly includes a 32.17 millimeter hole for the thermistor. If the hole for the thermistor is 31-31.5 millimeters you will need to order WP8534882.

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

• 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 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

Color: Stainless   Note: Comes with Allen wrench, spare set screw, and instructions.

Bottle with brush. Color: Black. Size: 0.6 fl.oz.

This compression tube nut secures water inlet tubing to a threaded fitting to create a reliable, leak-resistant seal. Replace a cracked or stripped nut to stop drips at the connection and keep your appliance's water system working properly.

• Compresses the tubing against the fitting to seal the water line at the inlet valve, filter head, or other water-system connections
• Helps correct leaks at the water line connection point
• Replaces nuts that are cracked, cross-threaded, or deformed
• Common symptoms: water dripping at the connection, difficulty tightening the line, or a poor seal after reassembly

• Shut off the water supply and disconnect power before servicing.
• Slide the nut onto the tubing first, seat the tube fully on the fitting, then hand-tighten and snug with a wrench; do not overtighten.
• Inspect and reuse the existing sleeve/ferrule and tube insert if in good condition; replace if worn.
• Restore water and check for leaks at the connection.

This replacement shield fits over the heater/probe area to provide a protective barrier. It helps prevent direct contact and excessive radiant heat exposure, protecting nearby components and supporting accurate temperature sensing for consistent operation. What it does:

• Shields the heating element and adjacent temperature probe/sensor area
• Helps prevent heat damage to nearby plastics, wiring, and components
• Reduces the chance of items contacting or striking the heater/probe
• Common signs it's needed: cracked, warped, or missing shield; discoloration; rattling or an exposed probe/heater area

• 1 shield

• Disconnect power and allow all heated parts to cool before servicing
• Access the heater/probe area and note the original shield orientation
• Seat the shield fully; secure with existing clips/fasteners if applicable
• Verify clearances around the heating element before restoring power

This hanger anchors the dishwasher's door-balance spring to the frame so the door opens and closes smoothly. Replacing a worn or broken hanger restores proper spring tension and helps prevent a door that drops, slams, or feels heavy.

• Secures the door balance spring to the dishwasher cabinet/frame
• Maintains correct spring tension for smooth, controlled door movement
• Helps fix a door that falls open quickly or won't stay in position
• Useful to replace when door balance hardware shows wear or damage

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing; remove the toe panel/kickplate
• Support the door and carefully relieve spring tension before removing parts
• Slide the dishwasher out if needed for side access; transfer the spring to the new hanger and reinstall
• Inspect the opposite-side spring/link and hinge for wear; verify door balance before reassembly

This mount secures the dishwasher's upper spray arm to its water feed, keeping the arm aligned and free to rotate so the upper rack receives consistent spray coverage and dependable cleaning.

• Supports and centers the upper spray arm at the correct connection point
• Helps maintain a solid connection to the feed tube/manifold for proper water delivery
• Wear, cracks, or looseness may lead to poor cleaning on the upper rack, arm wobble, or noise
• Replacing a damaged mount can help restore smooth spray arm rotation and wash performance

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Pull out the upper rack; remove the upper spray arm from its mount
• Release the old mount's locking tabs or fasteners and remove it from the feed tube/tub
• Install the new mount fully, reattach the spray arm, and verify it spins freely before testing

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

• One door balance mount (bracket)

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Pull the dishwasher out slightly to access the side where the mount is installed
• Carefully relieve spring tension; note link/cable routing before removal
• Transfer the spring/link to the new mount, secure the bracket, and check door balance on both sides

This overfill control float assembly sits in the dishwasher tub and rises with the water level. It works with the float switch to shut off the inlet valve, helping prevent overfilling and potential leaks.

• Rises with the water level to engage the float switch and stop water flow
• Helps protect against tub overfill and floor leaks during the fill cycle
• Replace if the float is missing, warped, stuck, or doesn't move freely
• Symptoms can include continuous filling/overfilling, water spilling from the door, or no fill if the float is stuck in the up position

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack; lift the old float straight up from the tub opening
• Clear any debris from the float well so the new float moves freely
• After reassembly, start a fill to ensure the float rises and water shuts off
