Lower wash arm redirects pressurized water across the dishwasher's lower rack to rinse and remove food and residue, restoring intended wash coverage and improving cleaning performance. What it does:

• Directs jets of water through multiple spray holes to rinse dishes on the lower rack.
• Helps remove stuck-on food, film and spotting on plates, bowls and cookware.
• Replaces cracked, clogged or broken lower spray arms that can cause poor cleaning or leftover residue.
• Works with the dishwasher's pump flow to maintain proper spray pattern across the lower rack.

• Refer to your model's parts diagram and instructions; the arm commonly snaps or threads onto the lower spray arm mount and procedures vary by model.
• Always disconnect power to the dishwasher before servicing; follow basic safety precautions.
• Clean the filter and any debris from spray holes before installing to avoid re-clogging.
• Inspect the mounting clip or retaining nut when removing the old arm and replace if damaged.

This active vent assembly controls airflow from the dishwasher during and after a cycle, releasing humid air at the right time for better drying. Replacing a faulty vent can reduce lingering moisture and steam escaping from the door.

• Regulates and directs moist air out of the tub during the dry portion of the cycle
• Closes during wash to help contain water and heat inside the dishwasher
• Helps reduce interior condensation and improve overall drying results
• Common failure symptoms: dishes not drying, moisture remaining after the cycle, steam escaping at the top of the door, or unusual noise from the vent area

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the unit to cool
• Access is typically through the inner door panel; retain and reuse mounting hardware as required
• Inspect and correctly seat the vent seal to prevent steam leaks
• After installation, run a test cycle to check for proper vent operation and sealing

Replacement fill hose that routes water from the household supply to the appliance's ice maker and water dispenser, restoring proper water delivery and helping prevent leaks or pooling from a damaged line. What it does

• Directs water from the inlet valve to the ice maker and dispenser for ice production and dispensing.
• Maintains steady water flow; prevents kinks and pinched lines that reduce flow.
• Replace if cracked, split, collapsed, or leaking.
• Common symptoms: reduced or no water to the dispenser or ice maker, visible leaks, or pooling under/behind the appliance.

• Turn off the water supply and disconnect power before servicing to avoid flooding and electrical hazard.
• Inspect and replace clamps or fittings as needed; ensure proper seating and a snug, leak-free connection without overtightening.
• Check for kinks in the hose and route it so it won't be pinched by the appliance or cabinetry.
• After installation, turn the water back on and test for leaks at all connections.

This foam pad installs between the inner and outer door panels of a dishwasher to dampen sound and help shield the outer panel from heat and moisture, keeping operation quieter and the door better protected. What it does:

• Lines the inside of the outer door panel to reduce operating noise and vibration
• Acts as a thermal and moisture barrier for the outer door panel
• Helps maintain proper door performance when the original insulation is worn or missing
• Replace if torn, degraded, or waterlogged, or if noise/condensation around the door has increased

• 1 door insulation pad

• Disconnect power and shut off water to the dishwasher before servicing
• Support the door; remove perimeter screws to separate the inner and outer door panels
• Note the pad's orientation; seat the new insulation evenly without pinching wires or harnesses
• Reassemble panels and fasteners; verify smooth door/latch operation

This impeller assembly replaces a worn or damaged wash-pump impeller to help restore water circulation and spray pressure for better cleaning. Commonly used in compatible Whirlpool wash pumps to address weak wash performance. What it does:

• Spins inside the wash pump to move water through spray arms; damaged fins reduce spray force and cleaning.
• Restores proper flow during wash cycles — symptoms of failure include weak or uneven cleaning.
• Reduces abnormal pump noise and motor strain when the impeller is intact; cracked or missing fins can cause humming or grinding.
• Works with the pump housing and seals to route water; a failed impeller can allow internal leakage or cavitation.

• Always disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before servicing the appliance.
• Inspect pump seals, gaskets, and surrounding components; replace any damaged parts to prevent leaks.

This door switch detects when the dishwasher door is fully closed and latched. Replacing a worn or intermittent switch restores reliable start/stop operation and ensures the safety interlock cuts power whenever the door is opened.

• Senses door-closed status and sends a signal to the control
• Interrupts power to the machine when the door opens
• Helps prevent operation with an unlatched door
• Typical failure symptoms: won't start, stops mid-cycle if the door is bumped, or only runs when pressing on the door

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the latch/switch area by removing the inner door panel or console; note wire locations
• Transfer wires one at a time and secure the new switch in the bracket
• Verify latch engagement and switch actuation before restoring power
