This float stem is part of the dishwasher's water-level/overfill system. It guides the tub float and actuates the float switch so the unit fills correctly and shuts off on time. Replace a worn or broken stem to restore reliable fill protection.

• Connects the float to the switch mechanism beneath the tub
• Provides smooth vertical travel of the float through the opening
• Triggers the float switch to stop filling at the proper level
• Causes symptoms such as no fill, continuous filling/overfilling, a stuck or wobbly float, or intermittent fill issues

• Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack; lift off the float cap from inside the tub
• On some models, release the retainer/clip from beneath the tub; pull out the old stem
• Guide the new stem through the opening and ensure it engages the float switch lever; confirm the float moves freely and actuates the switch before restoring power

Check valve that prevents water backflow in the appliance's supply line, helping restore proper water flow to the ice maker or dispenser. Replaces a failed valve to address leaking, slow fills, or no-fill conditions. What it does:

• Stops reverse flow in the water line so water only moves toward the dispenser or ice maker
• Helps prevent water leaks and cross-contamination of the supply line
• Common symptom fixes: intermittent or no water to ice maker/dispenser, weak fills, or water pooling
• Fits inline with existing water tubing and works with the appliance's fill system

• Shut off water supply and unplug the appliance before replacing the valve
• Confirm tubing size and orientation before installation; install with correct flow direction
• Tighten fittings to prevent leaks but avoid overtightening plastic fittings

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 door boot gasket seals the opening between the door and tub on front-load washers, keeping wash water contained. Replacing a worn boot restores a tight seal to prevent leaks and ensure proper door closure.

• Creates a watertight seal between the washer door and front tub
• Helps prevent leaks, drips, and moisture at the front of the machine
• Common signs of failure: visible tears/cracks, persistent mildew, clothes snagging, or the door not sealing flush
• Restores correct door sealing to maintain efficient wash performance

• Unplug the washer and turn off water supplies before servicing
• Remove the outer and inner spring/clamp rings; note orientation of the gasket and drain port
• Lightly soap the lip to ease installation and align the drain/weep holes at the 6 o'clock position
• Reinstall clamps securely and run a short cycle to check for leaks

The Leg is an OEM part for LG dishwashers. It serves as a critical base component that elevates the dishwasher body above the floor for proper drainage. Legs are constructed with durable corrosion-resistant materials and adjustable height features to accommodate most flooring types. 

Symptoms of a bad leg can include:

• The dishwasher wobbles or is uneven during operation
• Standing water or improper draining of wash water  
• Visible damage like cracks, bending, or rust affecting stability

Causes of leg failure typically arise from normal wear over extended use of hard flooring. Replacing deteriorated legs restores the appliance's security and balance for optimum performance.

This affordable OEM LG part ensures the dishwasher stays firmly in place during cycles while conveniently adjusting to most installation situations. It provides customers with many more trouble-free years of use. This replacement leg is also compatible with KitchenAid models.

This sump cap seals the sump opening at the bottom of the dishwasher tub to contain wash water and protect the pump. Replace a cracked, loose, or missing cap to help prevent leaks and maintain proper wash performance. What it does:

• Seals the sump opening to keep water inside the tub and direct flow to the pump
• Helps keep debris out of the pump intake
• Restores a secure fit when the original cap is cracked, stripped, or warped
• Common symptoms: water leaking from the base, moisture under the dishwasher, visible damage, or a missing cap

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply.
• Remove the lower rack and, if needed, the lower spray arm to access the sump.
• Remove the old cap and clean the sealing area; install the new cap and hand-tighten until snug—do not overtighten.
• Run a short cycle and check for leaks around the sump.

This vent screen covers the dishwasher door vent, allowing steam to escape while blocking food particles and debris. Replacing a damaged or missing screen helps maintain proper airflow and can reduce moisture and odors around the vent area.

• Screens the door vent to keep debris out of the vent duct and fan path
• Maintains airflow for venting steam during the dry cycle
• A clogged, cracked, or missing screen may lead to moisture at the vent, odors, or reduced drying performance
• Replace if warped, broken, or lost during service

• Disconnect power to the dishwasher at the breaker before servicing
• Open the door and remove inner-door screws to access the vent assembly
• Remove the old screen, seat the new screen fully and evenly, then reassemble without overtightening
• Run a short cycle and check the vent area for proper airflow and moisture

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

This tower protector is a small plastic cover that fits over the dishwasher's spray tower. It helps keep dishes and utensils from obstructing the tower's spray outlets so water can circulate properly for consistent cleaning.

• Shields the spray tower to prevent items from blocking water flow
• Helps maintain proper spray pressure and coverage to upper areas
• Replaces cracked, melted, or missing protectors that can lead to poor cleaning
• Common signs it's needed: protector is broken/loose, deformed, or repeatedly falls off; dishes aren't getting clean due to blocked spray

• Disconnect power and water before service
• Allow the dishwasher interior to cool
• Open the door, remove the lower rack, and snap the protector into place per the tower/rack design
