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

Color: gray. Measures about 3 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches high.

• 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

Color: light gray. Measures about 3 inches high by 6 inches deep.

This upper rack adjuster sets and secures the dishwasher's top rack height so dishes clear the spray arms and load properly. When the adjuster wears or breaks, the rack can become uneven or stuck, leading to poor cleaning and loading issues.

• Provides the mechanism to raise/lower and lock the upper dishrack height
• Keeps the top rack level and secured to the rail during operation
• Common symptoms of failure: rack drops on one side, won't adjust, feels loose, or comes off the track
• Contribute to poor wash results when the rack can't be positioned correctly

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing
• Remove upper rack end caps/stops and slide the rack out to access the adjuster
• Release or unfasten the old adjuster, transfer any reusable clips/wheels if applicable, and install the new adjuster
• Set both sides of the rack to the same height; reinstall rack and confirm smooth travel and secure locking

This adjustable manifold connects the upper rack to the dishwasher's rear water feed. It channels wash water to the upper spray arm and maintains a sealed connection as the rack height changes for consistent cleaning performance. What it does:

• Routes water from the rear feed tube to the upper/middle spray arm
• Self-adjusts with rack position to keep a secure, leak-resistant connection
• Replace if cracked, deformed, or the coupling no longer seals
• Common symptoms include poor cleaning on the upper rack, weak spray, upper spray arm not turning, or a small leak at the back of the tub

• 1 adjustable manifold

• Disconnect power and shut off water; wear gloves for protection
• Remove the upper rack by releasing the rail end caps and sliding the rack out
• Unclip the manifold from the rack and disengage it from the rear feed port; seat the new manifold fully
• Reinstall the rack and ensure the spray arm spins freely

This dishrack organizes and supports dishes inside the dishwasher during wash cycles. Replacing a damaged rack restores smooth loading, keeps items upright, and helps prevent rust stains or snags from broken tines or flaking rack coating.

• Holds and organizes plates, bowls, and cookware during wash and rinse cycles
• Keeps items spaced and upright to promote spray coverage and drainage
• Slides in and out on the rails when the rack is straight and intact
• Common failure signs: rusting/chipping coating, broken or bent tines, cracked or warped wire frame
• Needed if dishes won't stay put or the rack binds when moving on the tracks

• Disconnect power at the breaker and turn off water before servicing interior parts
• Open the door, extend the rack, and remove rail end caps to release the rack
• Transfer any clip-on components from the old rack to the new rack as needed
• Seat the rack on the rails, reinstall end caps, and check for smooth operation

Due to manufacturer changes only one side of cup shelf has a cap.

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

Insulation pad that fits behind appliance panels to restore thermal protection and reduce noise. Replacing a damaged or missing pad helps protect nearby wiring and components from heat and can reduce vibration-related rattling. What it does:

• Provides thermal insulation to help limit heat transfer to adjacent panels and components.
• Dampens vibration and reduces rattling or buzzing caused by loose or worn insulation.
• Protects wires, connectors and plastic parts from excess heat when installed correctly.
• Common symptom: missing, torn, or deteriorated pad with increased exterior heat or noise.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
