• Helps protect against overfilling and door leaks
• Replace if the float is cracked, deformed, waterlogged, or sticks in its well
• Symptoms can include: won't fill or stops filling early; overfilling or leaks at the door

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack and locate the float in the tub floor
• Lift the old float straight up; clear any debris; seat the new float and free up-and-down movement
• Restore power and run a fill test to proper operation and check for leaks

Specs: 10-16 x 1/2 inch.

This inlet protector is the coarse screen that covers the dishwasher's pump/sump inlet, blocking large debris from entering the wash system. Replacing a damaged or missing protector helps maintain water flow and protect the pump from jams or wear.

• Screens large food particles and debris from the pump/chopper inlet
• Helps maintain proper water circulation and consistent cleaning performance
• Reduces risk of pump damage or noisy operation from debris
• Common signs: cracked or missing screen, persistent debris in the sump, grinding/rumbling noises, or declining wash results

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack and spray arm; access the sump/accumulator area per your model
• Lift out the old protector; seat the new protector fully and secure any tabs/fasteners
• Reassemble and ensure the screen sits flat with no gaps

Seal included. This sump housing assembly includes a 32.17 millimeter hole for the thermistor. If the hole for the thermistor is 31-31.5 millimeters you will need to order WP8534882.

This wax motor is the actuator for the dishwasher's rinse aid dispenser, releasing rinse agent at the correct time in the cycle. Replacing a weak or failed unit restores consistent rinse aid dispensing and helps minimize spotting.

• Actuates the rinse aid dispenser by extending a plunger when energized
• Works with the control to meter rinse aid during the final rinse
• Failure symptoms can include rinse aid not dispensing, the level never dropping, and increased spotting/filming on dishes
• Dispenser may remain closed with no audible actuation during the cycle

• Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off water before servicing
• Remove the door panel to access the dispenser; label and disconnect wires
• Release the old motor and install the new one in the same orientation, ensuring it seats fully
• Run a test cycle to ensure the dispenser releases rinse aid

This replacement part is a dishwasher pump and motor assembly. The dishwasher pump and pump motor circulate water through the dishwasher's spray arm. When the spray arms aren't spraying properly, this could mean that it's time for a new pump and motor assembly. Luckily replacing this part is a relatively simple process.Start by making sure the dishwasher is unplugged. After that shut off the water supply going to the dishwasher. Then disconnect the drain line from the garbage disposal or sink drain. Open the dishwasher door and pull out the bottom dish rack. Remove the upper dishrack from its track. Release the spray arm on the bottom of the washer. Then proceed to release the feed tube clips. Using a nut driver remove the bottom access panel and tow panel. Pull them out to remove them. Remove the power cable from the junction box, and disconnect the supply line from the inlet valve. Proceed to pull the dishwasher out of the counter. Tilt the dishwasher on its side and pull the hose from the drain pump. Remove the wire harness from the pump. Disconnect wires from diverter motor and circulation motor. Once complete, proceed to tilt the dishwasher upright and remove the pump and motor assembly from the bottom of the dishwasher. Replace with the new assembly.This replacement part is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Sears/Kenmore brand dishwashers.

This coupler and hose assembly connects your portable dishwasher to the sink faucet during operation. It supplies fresh water and returns drain water to the sink, helping stop leaks and restore reliable filling and draining.

• Provides a quick-connect link to a compatible faucet adapter for temporary hookup
• Carries incoming water to the dishwasher and routes drain water back to the sink
• Maintains a secure, leak-resistant seal during wash and drain cycles
• Replace if the coupler won't attach or stay on the faucet, hoses are cracked/kinked, or you see leaks and poor fill/drain performance

• Unplug the appliance and turn off water before service
• Verify the faucet adapter and O-rings are in good condition; hand-tighten only—do not overtighten with tools
• Route hoses to avoid kinks and sharp bends
• Open the faucet slowly and run a short test cycle; check all connections for leaks

This heater support holds the heating element securely in place inside the appliance, maintaining correct alignment and clearance for reliable operation. Replacing a worn or broken support helps prevent sagging, noise, or damage from an out-of-position element.

• Secures the heating element to its mounting point to keep it stable
• Maintains proper spacing from nearby components and surfaces
• Helps reduce vibration, rubbing, or rattling noises
• Replace if the original support is cracked, warped, missing, or the element appears misaligned

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; allow hot components to cool
• Access the heater per your model's service information; note the original orientation and routing
• Seat the support fully and handle element leads carefully to avoid damage

This factory-spec screw secures panels and components in your appliance. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a tight, rattle-free fit so parts stay aligned and operate as designed.

• Fastens brackets, panels, and internal components to their mounting points
• Maintains alignment and reduces vibration during operation
• Replaces missing, worn, rusted, or stripped hardware
• Helpful when you notice rattling, loose panels, gaps, or parts shifting out of position

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supply if applicable
• Align the part being secured and remove any damaged hardware
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten with the correct driver
• Do not overtighten; verify the assembly is secure and operates freely

This miniature door switch is the snap-action interlock that tells the appliance when the door is closed. Replacing a worn or sticking switch restores reliable start/stop and proper door-status sensing for safe, consistent operation. What it does:

• Acts as the latch/interlock sensor for door open/closed status
• Signals the control to allow or prevent operation based on door position
• Typical symptoms include: won't start or shows a door message, stops when the door is bumped, or light/fan behavior doesn't match door position

• 1 miniature door switch

• Disconnect power before servicing. If working on a microwave, high voltage may be present even when unplugged—properly discharge the capacitor.
• Access the latch/interlock area; note wire positions and transfer one lead at a time to the new switch.
• Use a multimeter to confirm the switch changes continuity when pressed before reassembly.
