The Dishwasher Food Chopper is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It's designed to break down food particles that are washed off dishes during the cleaning cycle. This prevents large debris from clogging the dishwasher's drain and ensures that water remains clean throughout the cycle, enhancing the machine's cleaning efficiency. 

A malfunctioning or worn-out food chopper can lead to several problems, such as poor cleaning results due to food particles being redeposited on dishes, or even clogs that can strain the dishwasher's pump and filters. 

Symptoms of a bad Dishwasher Food Chopper include:

• Dishes coming out with food particles still on them
• The dishwasher making unusual noises indicating a struggle or blockage
• Water not draining properly, suggesting a possible clog

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Circulation Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for pumping water through the spray arms to ensure thorough cleaning of dishes during the wash cycle. This motor helps maintain consistent water pressure and flow, crucial for effective dishwashing performance.

Over time, the circulation motor can fail due to factors such as motor wear, electrical issues, or blockages that cause the motor to overheat or become damaged. Regular use and the buildup of debris or hard water deposits can also contribute to motor failure.

Symptoms of a bad circulation motor include:

• Poor cleaning results
• Unusual noises during the wash cycle
• Water not circulating properly
• Dishwasher not completing cycles

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Pump and Motor Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This part is responsible for circulating water during the wash cycle and draining water at the end of the cycle.  

Causes of a bad assembly can include blockages from debris, electrical failures, or wear and tear from regular use.  

Symptoms of a bad Pump and Motor Assembly include:

• Dishes remaining dirty after a wash cycle
• Water not draining properly from the dishwasher
• Unusual noises during operation
• Error codes related to water flow or pump performance

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Volute with Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This part directs water flow within the dishwasher's pump, ensuring efficient circulation and pressure during the wash cycle. The seal helps to prevent leaks by maintaining a tight closure between the volute and other pump components.

Common causes of a bad volute with seal include wear and tear from regular use, damage from debris or hard water deposits, and seal degradation due to age or chemical exposure.

Symptoms of a bad Volute with Seal include:

• Water leaking from the pump area
• Decreased washing performance
• Unusual noises from the pump during operation
• Visible cracks or damage to the volute or seal

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

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 electronic control board is the appliance's central controller. It interprets user inputs and sensor signals to power components at the right time, restoring reliable operation when the original board fails.

• Interprets user settings and manages cycle timing and temperature control
• Switches relays/outputs to run motors, heaters, valves, fans, and lights
• Interfaces with sensors and safety switches to protect the appliance
• Symptoms can include no display or response, won't start, cycles that won't advance, or erratic operation
• Logs diagnostic error codes to aid troubleshooting

• Disconnect power before servicing; follow ESD precautions and handle the board by the edges
• Access the control area, then note/photograph wiring and move connectors one at a time to the new board
• Mount securely, ensure no wires are pinched, reassemble, and restore power
• Run a diagnostic or test cycle to confirm normal operation

This foam pad installs between the inner and outer door panels of a dishwasher to dampen sound and help shield the outer panel from heat and moisture, keeping operation quieter and the door better protected. What it does:

• Lines the inside of the outer door panel to reduce operating noise and vibration
• Acts as a thermal and moisture barrier for the outer door panel
• Helps maintain proper door performance when the original insulation is worn or missing
• Replace if torn, degraded, or waterlogged, or if noise/condensation around the door has increased

• 1 door insulation pad

• Disconnect power and shut off water to the dishwasher before servicing
• Support the door; remove perimeter screws to separate the inner and outer door panels
• Note the pad's orientation; seat the new insulation evenly without pinching wires or harnesses
• Reassemble panels and fasteners; verify smooth door/latch operation

Also Order Spray Arm Seal

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 connector links mating components within the appliance to create a secure, reliable connection. Replacing a cracked or loose connector helps restore consistent operation and prevent intermittent issues caused by poor contact or separation. What it does:

• Creates a stable connection between mating parts or harnesses in the appliance
• 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
