This part is the rinse-aid cap/knob that seals the dishwasher's rinse-aid reservoir in the door-mounted dispenser. A secure cap prevents leaks and evaporation so rinse aid dispenses properly, helping reduce spots and improve drying.

• Seals the rinse-aid fill port on the dispenser to prevent leaks and evaporation

• Open the door, remove the old cap by turning counterclockwise
• Clean the sealing surface; install the new cap by hand and tighten until snug—do not overtighten
• Run a quick cycle and check for leaks around the dispenser

This replacement wire restores a reliable electrical path between appliance components. Use it to replace a damaged or heat-stressed lead so power or signal can flow correctly for consistent, safe operation.

• Carries electrical power or signals between components to restore continuity
• Helps resolve issues caused by broken conductors, loose/burned terminals, or brittle insulation
• Can address intermittent operation or components not energizing due to an open circuit
• Ideal when the original lead shows scorching, melting, or corrosion

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas/water if applicable) before servicing
• Document wire routing and connections before removal to ensure correct reassembly
• Transfer any reusable sleeves, clips, or ties from the old lead if present
• Seat connections fully and route the wire away from sharp edges and high-heat areas

This compression tube nut secures water inlet tubing to a threaded fitting to create a reliable, leak-resistant seal. Replace a cracked or stripped nut to stop drips at the connection and keep your appliance's water system working properly.

• Compresses the tubing against the fitting to seal the water line at the inlet valve, filter head, or other water-system connections
• Helps correct leaks at the water line connection point
• Replaces nuts that are cracked, cross-threaded, or deformed
• Common symptoms: water dripping at the connection, difficulty tightening the line, or a poor seal after reassembly

• Shut off the water supply and disconnect power before servicing.
• Slide the nut onto the tubing first, seat the tube fully on the fitting, then hand-tighten and snug with a wrench; do not overtighten.
• Inspect and reuse the existing sleeve/ferrule and tube insert if in good condition; replace if worn.
• Restore water and check for leaks at the connection.

The door balance mount is the side-frame bracket that supports the dishwasher's door counterbalance system. When worn or broken, it can let the door drop, slam, bind, or feel heavy. Replacing it restores smooth, controlled door movement. What it does

• Anchors the door springs and balance link/cable to counterbalance the door's weight
• Helps the door open and close smoothly without dropping or slamming
• Guides the balance link for consistent, quiet movement
• Common symptoms: door feels heavy or uneven, falls open, won't stay put, or makes grinding/squeaking noises; visible damage to the bracket or rollers

• One door balance mount (bracket)

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Pull the dishwasher out slightly to access the side where the mount is installed
• Carefully relieve spring tension; note link/cable routing before removal
• Transfer the spring/link to the new mount, secure the bracket, and check door balance on both sides

This inner door seal forms a moisture barrier between the dishwasher tub and the door assembly, helping keep wash water and steam contained. Replacing a worn seal can stop drips at the door and protect internal components.

• Seals the joint along the inner door to contain wash water and steam
• Helps prevent door-area leaks or drips during cycles
• Blocks moisture from entering the door cavity where electrical parts reside
• Common signs: water at the bottom/sides of the door, damp control area, visible wear/flattening or tears on the seal

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Open the door and remove perimeter screws to separate inner/outer door panels
• Remove the old seal; clean the mounting surface and note seal orientation
• Press the new seal firmly into place, reassemble, and run a leak check

This replacement screw secures appliance components, panels, and brackets. It restores a tight, reliable hold when an original fastener is missing or damaged, helping eliminate rattles, gaps, or shifting parts.

• Helps reduce repeated start attempts and nuisance thermal trips
• Common symptoms of a weak capacitor: motor hums, won't start, or stops shortly after starting
