The Door Gasket is an OEM part for LG dishwashers. It forms a watertight seal around the dishwasher door, preventing leaks during the wash cycle. This gasket ensures that water stays inside the dishwasher, promoting efficient cleaning and protecting your kitchen from water damage.

Causes of a bad door gasket can include regular wear and tear, buildup of detergent residue, or damage from closing the door on obstructive items. Over time, the gasket can become brittle or cracked, compromising its sealing capabilities.

Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:

• Water leaking from the dishwasher door
• Visible cracks, tears, or deformities in the gasket
• The dishwasher door not closing properly
• Increased moisture or puddles around the base of the dishwasher

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

Causes of a bad inner pump housing can include cracks or damage from debris, mineral buildup from hard water, or general wear and tear over time. Damage to the housing can lead to inefficient water circulation and potential leaks.

Symptoms of a bad inner pump housing include:

• Water leaks under the dishwasher
• Unusual noises during the wash cycle
• Poor cleaning performance
• Reduced water circulation

The Water Supply Tube is an OEM part for LG dishwashers, designed to channel water effectively to various parts of the dishwasher during operation. This component allows the unit to fill, rinse, and clean dishes efficiently. The water supply tube is strategically positioned to distribute water to the spray arms, ensuring a thorough and even cleaning cycle by reaching all dishes, regardless of their placement in the racks.

Causes of these issues can range from physical damage due to impact or mishandling, clogs from mineral deposits or debris in the water, to general wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Water Supply Tube include:

• Inadequate water flow to the spray arms 
• Leakage or dripping water from the tube 
• Unusual noises during the water filling phase 

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This dishwasher spray arm, also called a blade, directs high-pressure wash water through its jet ports and rotates to cover the tub. Replace a cracked, warped, or clogged blade to restore spray coverage and cleaning performance.

• Distributes wash water through multiple jets during wash and rinse cycles
• Rotates using water pressure for even, consistent spray coverage
• Helps remove soils from dishes throughout the tub
• Helps resolve poor cleaning, weak spray, a non-spinning arm, or visible cracks/deformation

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Open the dishwasher and clear access to the spray arm (remove rack(s) if needed)
• Release the retaining clip or nut, lift off the old arm, and clear any debris at the hub
• Install the new arm, secure the fastener, ensure it spins freely, restore utilities, and run a test cycle

Symptoms of a bad rack assembly include:

• Difficulty positioning racks securely due to failure points
• Rattling or loose racks during operation
• Inability to hold heavier dish loads securely
