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

Color: Black. Dishwasher door latch handle. For the latch order WP99002292.

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.

Dishwasher rack rear bowl tine. For the front tine order 12002218. For the tine clip order WPY912709.

Used on the ends of the tines inside the dishwasher rack.

This O-ring seal fits into a groove to create a tight, leak-resistant barrier where two parts join. Replacing a worn O-ring helps stop drips at connections and keeps your appliance running reliably. What it does:

• Forms a compressible seal between mating parts (fittings, housings, or tubing)
• Helps prevent water or fluid leaks at joints
• Maintains proper pressure and flow within the sealed path
• Replace if you see seepage at the connection or the ring is cracked, flattened, brittle, or swollen

• 1 O-ring seal

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Clean the groove and mating surfaces; remove debris that could compromise the seal
• Lightly lubricate with manufacturer-approved silicone grease; avoid petroleum-based products
• Seat the O-ring without twisting; reassemble carefully and check for leaks after testing

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

A small trim screw designed to secure appliance trim pieces and molding, restoring a finished look and keeping panels held firmly in place. Ideal when a trim piece is loose, missing a fastener, or shows minor rattling. What it does:

• Fastens trim, molding, or decorative panels to the appliance frame
• Restores secure mounting and helps eliminate loose or rattling trim
• Replaces missing or stripped fasteners that cause gaps or poor fit
• Compatible with common trim attachment points where OEM screw is specified

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before attempting repairs
• Use the correct screwdriver bit to match the screw head to avoid stripping
• Install by hand to start threads, then tighten snugly—do not overtighten
• Verify trim alignment after installation and test that the panel is secure

Small replacement screw that secures panels and internal components on compatible appliances. Restores proper fastening to reduce rattling and loose parts so controls and panels stay aligned during normal use. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, and small components to the appliance frame or assemblies.
• Helps stop rattling, vibration-related noise, and movement from loose parts.
• Replaces a missing, worn, or stripped fastener to restore proper mounting.
• Used wherever the original manufacturer specified this screw in service diagrams.

• Disconnect power and water before working on the appliance to avoid shock or injury.
• Match the replacement screw to the original by fit and thread before installation; do not force mismatched fasteners.
• Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten securely but avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or damage components.
• Refer to the appliance's service manual or parts diagram for exact location and any torque or threadlocker recommendations.

Used for the lower dishwasher rack.

The Lower Washarm is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. Positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, it rotates during the wash cycle, distributing water and detergent evenly across the lower rack. 

Over time, wash arms can become clogged with food debris or mineral deposits, reducing water flow. Physical damage such as cracks or warping can also impede the wash arm's rotation and affect its cleaning performance.

Color: Gray

Symptoms of a faulty lower wash arm include:

• Inadequate cleaning of dishes on the lower rack
• Uneven or inconsistent water spray
• Clogged or obstructed spray nozzles
• The arm not spinning or rotating correctly

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

A replacement leveling leg that stabilizes your appliance and allows height adjustment for a secure, level install. Restores proper alignment to reduce rocking, vibration and uneven door gaps. What it does:

• Raises and levels the appliance so all feet contact the floor evenly.
• Stops rocking and excessive vibration that can cause noise or wear.
• Helps restore proper drainage and door alignment by correcting tilt.
• Matches original fit and function for reliable support.

• Disconnect power (and water for appliances with plumbing) before servicing.
• Raise or support the appliance safely before removing or adjusting legs.
• Turn the leg to raise or lower; make small adjustments and recheck level.
• Use common hand tools (wrench or pliers) and avoid forcing damaged threads.

This toe-panel insulation replaces the foam liner behind the appliance toe kick to help maintain cabinet insulation and reduce drafts. It restores proper airflow and thermal protection under the unit for more consistent operation. What it does:

• Provides thermal insulation for the cabinet base to help reduce heat loss and drafts
• Helps maintain proper airflow around the compressor and components beneath the appliance
• Can reduce the likelihood of cold floors or localized temperature changes near the toe kick
• Restores damaged or missing insulation that may affect efficiency or appliance comfort

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service
• Remove the toe kick/grille and old insulation to access the cavity; handle metal edges with care
• Trim or fit the new insulation as needed for a snug placement; use OEM fasteners if originally present
