Replace a missing or cracked rinse aid cap to stop leaks and restore proper dispensing. This dishwasher dispenser cap seals the rinse aid reservoir so dishes dry better and avoid spots by delivering rinse aid consistently.

• Seals the rinse aid reservoir to prevent leaks and evaporation
• Helps ensure correct rinse aid dosing during wash cycles
• Replaces worn, stripped, or missing caps that won't tighten
• Common symptoms: pooled rinse aid in the door or tub, visible cap damage, dishes left with spots due to no rinse aid

• For safety, disconnect power to the dishwasher before servicing
• Open the door and remove the old cap by turning counterclockwise
• Clean the dispenser opening; seat the new cap and turn clockwise until snug—do not overtighten
• Refill rinse aid, wipe up any spills, and run a short cycle to check for leaks

This is the shorter of the two dispenser lid hinge pins. For the longer lid hinge pin order WP6-912678.

Long tub insulation that fits the appliance's inner tub, reducing operating noise and helping stabilize temperature around the tub for quieter, more consistent performance. Replaces worn or damaged insulation to address rattles and drafts. What it does:

• Dampens noise and vibration when insulation is torn, compressed or missing.
• Helps limit heat loss and reduce cold spots that can cause condensation or longer warm-up times.
• Reduces rattling or knocking caused by loose or degraded insulation.
• Intended for specific Whirlpool tubs—verify model fit before ordering.

• Disconnect power (and water supply for washers) before starting any repair.
• Remove outer panels or drum components per the service manual; insulation may be held with clips, adhesive, or fasteners.
• Wear gloves and a dust mask—insulation fibers can irritate skin and lungs.

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

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

Bottle with brush. Color: Biscuit paint. It's point-six fluid ounces.

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 replacement screw secures appliance components in place. Swapping a stripped, rusty, or missing fastener restores a tight fit for panels, brackets, and handles, helping reduce vibration, rattling, and premature wear.

• Secures panels, brackets, trim, or hardware to the appliance frame
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded fasteners that no longer hold
• Helps eliminate looseness, rattling, or misalignment
• Restores proper fit and finish after service

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply if servicing a dishwasher.
• Match thread and length to the original screw before installing.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing.
• When applicable, replace paired screws together for even clamping.

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
