The Door Hinge (RH) is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This hinge is installed on the right-hand side of the dishwasher door, allowing it to open and close smoothly while maintaining the proper tension and alignment. The hinge plays a crucial role in ensuring the door seals securely during operation, preventing leaks and enabling efficient cleaning performance.

Common causes include regular use leading to wear and tear, accidental impacts, or exposure to moisture, which can contribute to rust or corrosion.

Symptoms of a bad door hinge include:

• The dishwasher door not closing completely
• Difficulty opening or closing the door
• A sagging or misaligned door
• Unusual noises when moving the door

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

This left-hand door hinge supports and pivots the door so it opens smoothly and closes tight. Replace a worn hinge to correct sagging, rubbing, or doors that won't seal—improving performance and preventing damage. What it does:

• Provides the pivot point for the door on the left side
• Maintains alignment so the door sits level and latches/seals properly
• Helps the door open and close smoothly without binding
• Common symptoms: door sags or rubs, won't close fully, uneven gaps, squeaking/grinding noises, poor seal

• Restores smooth opening/closing and reduces rubbing or scraping at the cabinet.
• Helps re-establish a full door seal to prevent cold air loss and temperature issues.
• Addresses symptoms such as a sagging or misaligned door, noisy hinge movement, or a door that doesn't close evenly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance and remove any items from the door before starting.
• Support the door while removing hinge hardware to prevent sudden drops or damage.

The Thermostat Clip is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It plays an important supporting role by securely fastening the thermostat sensor inside the wash chamber. 

Symptoms of a faulty Thermostat Clip can include:

• Fluctuating or inconsistent water temperatures between cycles 
• Inability to properly detect temperature for desired heat levels
• Longer cycle times needed for reaching required temperatures
• Strange sounds or condensation around thermostat connection

Causes could arise from typical wear and tear stresses weakening plastic retaining clips. Exposure to harsh detergents may also erode clip material integrity over time.

This OEM replacement part is compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, and select Hotpoint and Roper dishwasher models as well. 

This seal sits at the dishwasher's air/water inlet, creating a tight barrier where the inlet assembly meets the tub or door. Replacing a worn seal helps stop nuisance leaks and supports proper fill and venting performance. What it does

• Helps prevent drips or seepage during fill and wash
• Supports correct venting to keep moisture contained inside the tub
• Common failure signs include water on the floor near the unit, dampness around the inlet/vent area, or a cracked, flattened, or brittle seal

• One air/water inlet seal

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Access method varies by model; remove the inlet/vent cover or side panel to reach the seal
• Clean mating surfaces; seat the new seal evenly without distortion
• Reassemble and run a brief fill/wash to check for leaks

Replacement pump gasket with silicone sealing material that restores a watertight seal between the pump and housing. Helps stop leaks at the pump area and prevents water pooling under the appliance.

• Seals the pump to the housing to help prevent water leaks and drips.
• Common repair for visible water under the appliance or leaks coming from the pump area.
• Silicone sealing material provides a flexible, water-tight interface that conforms to the pump housing.
• Designed to replace the factory pump gasket for a direct fit and proper sealing.
