Kudk01ilbs5 Kitchenaid Dishwasher Parts

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 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

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

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 run capacitor helps start and keep the motor running smoothly by providing the necessary phase shift and torque boost. A weak capacitor can cause hard starting, humming, or intermittent motor operation.

• Supplies continuous phase shift to maintain motor rotation
• Helps the motor start reliably under load
• Symptoms can include humming, slow or no start, or overheating shutdown
• Restores normal operation when the original capacitor has weakened

• Disconnect power before servicing; discharge the old capacitor safely
• Note wire locations and transfer leads to the new capacitor one-by-one
• Mount securely in the original bracket or location to prevent vibration
• If the motor still won't start, further diagnosis of the motor or start device may be required

This tube nut secures the water inlet tubing to its fitting, creating a tight, leak-resistant connection. Use it when the original nut is cracked, stripped, or can no longer hold the line securely.

• Tightens over the inlet fitting to clamp the water tube and form a reliable seal
• Helps stop drips at the water-line connection point
• Addresses loose or damaged inlet connections and difficulty keeping the tube seated
• Commonly replaced when the nut is worn, cross-threaded, or visibly cracked

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel to catch residual water and relieve line pressure
• Hold the fitting with one wrench while tightening the nut with another to avoid twisting components
• Do not overtighten; restore water and check for leaks after installation
• Inspect the tubing, ferrule/sleeve, and insert; replace if worn or damaged

This adjustable leveling leg threads into the appliance base to set height and stabilize the cabinet. Replacing a worn or missing leg helps stop rocking and vibration and helps maintain proper alignment for reliable operation.

• Provides adjustable support at one corner of the appliance
• Helps level the unit for correct alignment with floor or cabinetry
• Reduces rocking, vibration, and rattling noises
• Replaces stripped, bent, cracked, or missing leg

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Carefully support or brace the appliance to access the base safely
• Start the new leg by hand to avoid cross-threading; adjust height gradually
• Use a level to check side-to-side and front-to-back, then recheck after positioning

This machine screw secures panels, brackets, and other components inside your appliance. Replacing a missing or damaged fastener restores a solid fit, reduces vibration and rattling, and helps keep assemblies properly aligned for reliable performance.

• 10-32 machine-thread fastener for mounting and securing internal parts and panels
• Helps maintain alignment and structural integrity of assembled components
• Replaces missing, stripped, or damaged hardware
• Reduces rattling, vibration, or loosening from worn fasteners

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water supplies before servicing
• Match thread and length to the original fastener used in that location
• Start by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Reuse original washers or clips if present and in good condition

Replacement 8-32-thread screw used to secure panels, brackets and small components in compatible household appliances. Restores missing or stripped fasteners so panels and parts stay firmly attached during normal use. What it does:

• Secures trim, panels, brackets and control housings to maintain proper assembly.
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that can cause rattling, loose panels or misaligned components.
• Fits locations that require an 8-32 threaded fastener; correct length and head style for your application.
• Helps restore stable, vibration-free operation when worn or stripped fasteners are replaced.

• Disconnect power and water before servicing; wear eye protection and gloves.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the screw head.
• Do not overtighten—turn until snug and secure to avoid damaging threads or surrounding parts.
• If the original used a washer or nut, reuse or replace as needed and the screw length and head type match the original.

This front seal sits at the leading edge of the dishwasher door opening to keep wash water and steam contained. Replacing a worn seal helps stop front-edge drips and protects adjacent cabinetry and flooring.

• Creates a watertight barrier along the front tub-to-door interface
• Helps prevent leaks at the bottom/front of the door during cycles
• Replace if the seal is cracked, flattened, torn, or missing
• Common symptoms: water under the kick panel, damp streaks at the front lip, visible wear

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Open the door, remove the old seal, and clean the front lip/channel thoroughly
• Center and press the new seal fully into place without stretching; ensure even compression
• Close the door and run a short test cycle to check for leaks
