The Nut is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a small part that secures the kickplate, or the lower front panel of the dishwasher, in place. This nut ensures a secure and tight fit for the kickplate, preventing it from becoming loose or falling off during dishwasher operation. 

A bad nut can occur due to wear and tear, accidental damage, or misplacement. If you notice symptoms such as a loose or wobbly kickplate, or if the kickplate has completely detached from the dishwasher, it may indicate a faulty or missing kickplate nut.

Symptoms of a bad nut include:

• Loose or wobbly kickplate
• Kickplate completely detached from the dishwasher

Restore your dishwasher by replacing the faulty or missing kickplate nut with this genuine OEM part.

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

The water inlet is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It serves as the water inlet valve, responsible for regulating the flow of water into the dishwasher during cycles. 

Symptoms of a bad water inlet include:

• Inability to fill with water or intermittent filling 
• Leaks or water spray from the inlet area
• Odd sounds like sputtering or crackling from the valve
• Soap residue or film left after cycles from insufficient rinsing

Causes of a bad inlet water valve can include mineral buildup from hard water, stuck or clogged waterways, or mechanical failure of sealing components. Over time and use, inlet valves can degrade leading to improper water distribution. 

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