This is the rear wheel support for a dishwasher rack. It helps guide and support the rack as it slides in and out, restoring smooth movement and preventing the rack from binding or derailing.

• Supports and guides the rack at the rear during opening/closing
• Helps correct issues like a wobbly, sticking, or misaligned rack
• Can address noisy, rough rack travel caused by a worn support
• Maintains proper rack tracking to reduce derailment

• Disconnect power and water before servicing
• Pull rack forward to access the rear support area
• Depress locking tabs/retainer to remove the old support; press-fit the new support until secure
• Verify smooth rack travel before returning the appliance to service

This motor-pump is the dishwasher drain pump assembly that removes water from the tub so cycles can complete. Replacing a failed pump restores proper draining and helps prevent standing water and cycle errors. What it does:

• Spins the impeller to pump wastewater out of the dishwasher during drain cycles
• Stops leaks and prevents water from remaining in the tub when working correctly
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as no draining, water left in the tub, or a humming noise during drain
• Works as the integrated motor and pump — not a separate impeller-only part

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before starting any repair
• Handle with care to avoid damaging the impeller, seals, or electrical connector
• May require removing access panels or the dishwasher kickplate; use appropriate tools

This insulated replacement wire restores a damaged or missing electrical connection in your appliance, allowing power and signals to reach components reliably. Use it to repair frayed, cut, or corroded wiring without replacing the entire harness. What it does:

• Re-establishes an electrical path between terminals or components
• Helps resolve intermittent power, partial function, or no-power symptoms caused by damaged wiring
• Provides insulated protection to reduce shorting and contact with nearby metal
• Matches OEM length and connector style when used as a direct replacement

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before inspecting or replacing wiring
• Use proper crimping or terminal tools when attaching connectors; avoid exposed conductors

This spacer positions and supports the appliance tank/tub assembly to maintain proper alignment and spacing for reliable operation. Replaces a worn or damaged spacer to restore correct fit and reduce movement. What it does:

• Keeps the tank/tub assembly correctly spaced and aligned with the cabinet and mounting points
• Helps prevent rubbing, binding, and excess vibration caused by a missing or damaged spacer
• Restores proper clearance to support seals and hoses that rely on correct tank positioning
• Useful when reassembling the appliance after service or repair

• One spacer

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting any repair
• Access may require removal of outer panels, console, or access covers depending on model
• Handle parts carefully to avoid damaging surrounding seals and wiring; reuse fasteners unless replacement is specified

A flat washer used with fasteners on select top-load and front-load washer assemblies to distribute load and prevent loosening. Replaces worn or missing washers to help stabilize mounting points and reduce vibration where metal parts join. What it does:

• Provides a smooth bearing surface between a bolt or nut and the mating part
• Helps distribute clamping force to prevent damage to housings or panels
• Reduces loosening from vibration or thermal cycling
• Common fix when mounting hardware is loose, rattling, or causing leaks at joins

• Inspect mating bolt, nut, and surface for wear or damage before installing
• Use correct size and orientation; do not overtighten fasteners
• Disconnect power to the appliance and follow safety procedures when accessing internal parts
• Replace all related fasteners to ensure proper fit

The Door Hinge (RH) is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This hinge is installed on the right-hand side of the dishwasher door, allowing it to open and close smoothly while maintaining the proper tension and alignment. The hinge plays a crucial role in ensuring the door seals securely during operation, preventing leaks and enabling efficient cleaning performance.

Common causes include regular use leading to wear and tear, accidental impacts, or exposure to moisture, which can contribute to rust or corrosion.

Symptoms of a bad door hinge include:

• The dishwasher door not closing completely
• Difficulty opening or closing the door
• A sagging or misaligned door
• Unusual noises when moving the door

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

The Filter Screen is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. Located inside the sump area, the durable mesh screen captures small food particles and debris before wash water is recirculated through cycles.

Symptoms of a bad filter screen can include clogging obscuring openings over time, degrading mesh no longer inhibiting passage, or dislodging from mounting points allowing bypass.

Causes involve the normal accumulation of soils requiring periodic cleaning. Mineral buildup may eventually cement sections together reducing effectiveness. 

Symptoms of a bad filter screen include:

• Dirty or soiled wash water unable to fully circulate  
• Filth dispersing throughout the wash cabinet interior
• Reduced cleaning and unsatisfactory dish results

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and some Kenmore dishwasher models. Replace to maintain built-in wastewater filtration protecting major components.

This thermostat bracket secures the refrigerator/freezer temperature sensor or thermostat to the cabinet, keeping the sensor in the correct position for accurate temperature control. Durable replacement for factory mounting hardware. What it does:

• Holds the thermostat/temperature sensor in place so it reads interior temperatures correctly
• Helps prevent loose or misaligned sensors that can cause irregular cooling or cycling
• Restores proper sensor positioning after damage or broken mounting clips
• Works with the thermostat assembly to maintain consistent appliance operation

• One thermostat mounting bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service to avoid electrical shock
• Handle thermostat/sensor elements carefully; avoid bending or pinching the sensing tube
• Retain or reuse original fasteners unless replacement hardware is explicitly included

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.
