• Replace when the existing clamp is rusted, broken, stripped, or won't tighten

• Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the water supply
• Remove the toe kick and, if needed, pull the dishwasher forward for access
• Position the clamp over the sump-to-tub joint and tighten evenly; do not overtighten
• Reseat the sump gasket and run a leak test after reassembly

This float switch detects rising water in the refrigerator drain pan or lower cabinet area and signals the appliance control to help prevent overflow and water damage. Use it to replace a failed or intermittent water-level sensor. What it does:

• Senses high water level in the drain pan or collection area and closes the circuit to alert the control.
• Helps identify causes of leaks and pooling under or behind the appliance.
• Commonly used when symptoms include water on the floor, drip pan overflow, or water-related error/alert conditions.
• Matches OEM function for refrigeration units that include a float-based water-detection circuit.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs; shut off the water supply if working near water lines.
• Access may require removing lower kick plate or back panel; handle plastic clips and fasteners carefully.
• Disconnect electrical connector gently and note orientation before installing the replacement; secure wiring and verify float moves freely.
• Restore power and run a short test cycle or simulate water level to ensure proper operation.

This spring kit restores proper door tension so the appliance door opens and closes smoothly and stays in position. Use it to replace worn or broken springs that cause a sagging, loose, or hard-to-operate door. What it does:

• Replaces worn or damaged door tension springs to restore smooth opening and closing.
• Helps prevent the door from dropping, sagging, or not staying open.
• Reduces uneven or jerky door movement caused by lost spring tension.
• Matches OEM-design function for safe, reliable door operation when installed correctly.

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Springs are under tension—use caution and proper tools to avoid injury.
• Follow the appliance's service manual or OEM instructions.

The Blower Motor Casing Assembly is an OEM part for LG dishwashers. This part houses the blower motor which generates airflow through the wash arms and drying vent. The casing is precision-engineered to fit securely within the dishwasher's structure.

Causes of a bad blower motor casing assembly can include cracked or warped plastic from repeated heating and cooling cycles. The seals around the motor connection points may also deteriorate over time.

Symptoms include:

• Incomplete or overly long drying cycle times
• Water pooling in the bottom of the dishwasher after cycles
• Sloshing or excess moisture noise heard coming from inside
• Irregular or strange smells emanating from within the unit

This LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Tine Row Holder is an OEM part for LG dishwashers. It is a molded plastic bracket located inside the dishwasher that firmly holds the horizontal tine rows of the upper spray arm assembly in place. Subject to vibrations during the wash cycle, the tine row holder must securely grip this assembly.

Symptoms of a bad tine row holder include:

• Loosened or detached upper spray arm that causes insufficient washing 
• Rattling noises from loose components inside the tub 
• Potential leaks if the plastic material cracks fully over time

Causes of failure can include cracking of the holder plastic from solvent exposure and mineral buildup over thousands of wash cycles. Replace with this OEM LG part to ensure balanced water distribution to all areas of dishes. It is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore dishwasher models.

The Dish Rack Tine is an OEM part for LG dishwashers. It is a key component that makes up the dish rack assembly and serves the essential purpose of supporting and orienting dishes during the washing cycle. The tines are designed with precise contours and resilient materials to securely hold a variety of dishware without tipping or sliding.

Symptoms of a bad dish rack tine include:

• Dishes slipping or sliding out of place during the wash cycle
• Chipped, cracked, warped, or bent tines that no longer firmly grip dishware
• Missing pieces that compromise the integrity of the dish rack assembly 

Replacing deteriorated tines can help restore optimum washing performance by ensuring dishes are properly positioned under spray jets. A functional dish rack is necessary to achieve clean results without damage to delicate items.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Kenmore models.
