This dishwasher insulation is a sound-dampening blanket that reduces operating noise and helps contain heat and moisture, protecting surrounding cabinetry and restoring performance when the original insulation is missing, torn, or saturated.

• Helps absorb pump/motor and water-spray noise for quieter cycles
• Acts as a thermal and moisture barrier to limit exterior "sweating"
• Replaces damaged, compressed, or waterlogged insulation to restore design sound levels
• Common signs: louder-than-normal operation, visible missing/torn insulation, moisture around the toe-kick or adjacent cabinets

• Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off water supply before servicing; wear gloves.
• Access the insulation by removing the necessary panel(s); document original placement for reference.
• Position the new insulation in the same orientation; keep clear of hinges, wiring, and vent openings.
• Reassemble, secure/level the dishwasher, and run a test cycle to confirm quiet operation with no interference.

This hose clamp secures a hose connection to prevent leaks and keep your appliance running smoothly. It provides a tight, reliable hold on the hose fitting so water or air stays contained during operation.

• Tightens around a hose and fitting to maintain a secure seal
• Helps stop drips, seepage, or loose connections
• Common fix when you see moisture around a hose joint
• Useful if a clamp is rusted, stretched, or no longer holding tension

• Unplug power and shut off water (if applicable) before servicing
• Note clamp position/orientation before removal
• Use appropriate screwdriver or nut driver to tighten evenly
• Do not overtighten—ensure a snug, leak-free seal without damaging the hose

The Door Latch Handle is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is used to release the door latch and open the dishwasher door. This handle enables you to disengage the latch, allowing the door to open smoothly.

If the handle is damaged, it may become challenging to release the latch, making it difficult or impossible to open the door. Over time, this component can wear out due to frequent use or break due to accidental mishandling.

Color: White

Symptoms of a damaged door latch handle include:

• Difficulty opening the dishwasher door
• The door not opening at all
• Handle feeling loose or unresponsive

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

This replacement door handle restores a secure grip and normal door operation on compatible Whirlpool appliances. It provides a like-for-like fit and finish to replace a damaged, loose, or worn handle so doors open and close reliably. What it does:

• Replaces a broken, cracked, or missing door handle to restore normal use
• Provides a solid grip so the door opens and closes smoothly
• Matches the original mounting points for straightforward fit
• Helps eliminate rattling or loose-handle symptoms

• One replacement handle

• Intended to be installed with the original mounting screws and hardware; only included items ship
• Turn off and unplug the appliance or shut off power at the breaker before servicing electrical appliances
• Use moderate force when aligning the handle to avoid damaging trim or fasteners

This float palnut is a push-on retainer that secures the dishwasher's water-level float to its stem. Keeping the float anchored helps the overfill protection work properly, supporting correct fill levels and helping prevent leaks from overfilling. What it does:

• Holds the float in position so it can move freely with water level changes
• Helps the float reliably actuate the overfill/float switch
• Replace if cracked, loose, or missing
• Typical symptoms include a loose or wobbly float, the float popping off, erratic filling, overfilling, or leaks near the float area

• One float palnut

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack to access the float assembly
• Remove the old retainer; press the new palnut squarely onto the float stem until snug
• The float moves freely up and down before reassembling

This dishwasher impeller assembly mounts on the circulation pump and pressurizes wash water for the spray arms. Replacing a worn or damaged impeller restores proper spray pressure, cleaning performance, and quieter operation.

• Spins with the circulation motor to pressurize wash water
• Drives flow to the spray arms for effective wash action
• Typical symptoms: weak or no spray, poor cleaning results, grinding or rattling from pump area
• Often fails from broken vanes or debris; inspect filters/chopper while open

• Disconnect power and water before servicing
• Access is typically from inside the tub: remove the lower spray arm, filter screens, and cover to reach the impeller
• Note the order of parts and transfer any reusable hardware; replace worn O-rings/seals as needed
• Do not overtighten plastic parts; verify the impeller spins freely before reassembly and testing

This sump gasket seals the connection between the dishwasher tub and the sump/pump assembly. Replacing a flattened or cracked gasket restores a watertight barrier to help stop leaks from the base and protect floors and cabinetry.

• Creates a seal between the tub and sump to contain wash water
• Helps prevent leaks during fill, wash, and drain cycles
• Replace if the gasket is cracked, brittle, deformed, or compressed
• Common symptoms: water under the dishwasher, dripping from the base, moisture around the toe-kick

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply; pull the dishwasher out if needed for access
• Access the sump area (often by removing the lower rack, spray arm, and filters); note gasket orientation
• Clean mating surfaces; seat the gasket evenly without twists. Do not use sealants unless specified by the manufacturer
• Reassemble and run a short test cycle while inspecting for leaks

Attaches to the inner tub for the upper rack

This wash arm cap secures the dishwasher spray arm to its hub so it spins freely and distributes water. Replace a worn or missing cap to restore wash performance and keep the spray arm from loosening or coming off.

• Locks the spray arm onto its post/hub for proper alignment
• Allows smooth rotation for even water spray coverage
• Helps prevent wobbling, noise, or the arm detaching during cycles
• Common signs: spray arm falls off, is loose, doesn't spin, or dishes aren't getting clean

• Disconnect power; open the door and remove the rack to access the spray arm
• Unscrew and remove the old cap; lift off the spray arm if needed
• Seat the spray arm and hand-thread the new cap; tighten snugly without over-tightening
• Spin the spray arm by hand to ensure free movement before running a cycle

This power cord strain relief secures the cord where it passes through the appliance cabinet, protecting the jacket and preventing pull on internal connections. Replacing a cracked or missing connector restores a safe, stable cord entry. What it does:

• Secures the power cord at the cabinet entry to relieve strain on internal terminals or junction connections
• Provides a protective bushing to reduce abrasion of the cord jacket against cabinet edges
• Helps maintain proper routing and support for the incoming power cord
• Typical signs it's needed: loose or wobbly cord at entry, broken/missing connector, or visible chafing on the cord jacket

• 1 strain relief connector

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Remove the access cover, release and remove the old strain relief, and route the cord through the new connector
• Seat the connector fully so it captures the cord's outer jacket—not the individual conductors
• After reassembly, verify the cord is secure and does not move at the entry point
