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 Thermostat Clip is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It plays an important supporting role by securely fastening the thermostat sensor inside the wash chamber. 

Symptoms of a faulty Thermostat Clip can include:

• Fluctuating or inconsistent water temperatures between cycles 
• Inability to properly detect temperature for desired heat levels
• Longer cycle times needed for reaching required temperatures
• Strange sounds or condensation around thermostat connection

Causes could arise from typical wear and tear stresses weakening plastic retaining clips. Exposure to harsh detergents may also erode clip material integrity over time.

This OEM replacement part is compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, and select Hotpoint and Roper dishwasher models as well. 

Door latch assembly that secures the appliance door and enables the unit to detect a closed door so cycles can start. Replacing a damaged latch restores reliable door closure and proper operation. What it does:

• Helps prevent leaks and ensures cycles start only when the door is properly latched.
• Common symptoms: door won't stay closed or latch, appliance won't start, intermittent locking or clicking noises.
• Replaces worn, cracked, or broken latch assemblies to restore normal door function.

• Disconnect power before servicing; for water-connected appliances also shut off the water supply.
• Remove the appropriate door panel or access cover per the service manual and keep original fasteners.
• Position the new latch, secure with the original screws without overtightening, then test door operation and a trial cycle before finishing reassembly.

This inner door plastic is the interior panel for the appliance door that supports latch and hinge hardware and helps maintain the door seal. Replacing a cracked or damaged inner panel restores proper door fit and function. What it does:

• Supports the door assembly and secures internal components; a damaged panel often causes a loose or rattling door.
• Provides mounting points for the latch and hinge hardware; symptoms include a door that won't latch or closes unevenly.
• Helps maintain the appliance seal and thermal integrity; symptoms can include noticeable air/heat leakage or reduced performance.
• Restores the interior appearance of the door when the original plastic is cracked, warped, or broken.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work and fully open the door; support the door to prevent it from dropping when fasteners are removed.
• Remove the required screws/fasteners and lift out the inner panel carefully; wear safety gloves and eye protection if glass is present.
• Check hinge and latch alignment during reassembly; replace any damaged fasteners and avoid overtightening screws which can crack the plastic.
