This float palnut is a push-on retainer that secures the dishwasher's water-level float to its stem. Keeping the float anchored helps the overfill protection work properly, supporting correct fill levels and helping prevent leaks from overfilling. What it does:

• Holds the float in position so it can move freely with water level changes
• Helps the float reliably actuate the overfill/float switch
• Replace if cracked, loose, or missing
• Typical symptoms include a loose or wobbly float, the float popping off, erratic filling, overfilling, or leaks near the float area

• One float palnut

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack to access the float assembly
• Remove the old retainer; press the new palnut squarely onto the float stem until snug
• The float moves freely up and down before reassembling

This top spray arm, also called the top wash spinner, restores proper water distribution to the top of the tub. It helps deliver even spray coverage so glasses and dishes on the upper rack come out clean. What it does:

• Rotates under water pressure to spray jets across the upper rack area
• Improves wash coverage and rinsing for items on the top level
• Common failure signs: poor cleaning on the top rack, arm not spinning, clogged jets, or visible cracks/warping
• May also cause uneven spray patterns or debris buildup if the spinner is damaged

• 1 top spray arm

• Disconnect power at the breaker and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Open the door; remove the upper rack if needed for access
• Release the retainer or screw, remove the old spinner, and clear any debris from the hub/feed area
• Install the new spinner and ensure it spins freely before running a test cycle

This dishwasher impeller assembly mounts on the circulation pump and pressurizes wash water for the spray arms. Replacing a worn or damaged impeller restores proper spray pressure, cleaning performance, and quieter operation.

• Spins with the circulation motor to pressurize wash water
• Drives flow to the spray arms for effective wash action
• Typical symptoms: weak or no spray, poor cleaning results, grinding or rattling from pump area
• Often fails from broken vanes or debris; inspect filters/chopper while open

• Disconnect power and water before servicing
• Access is typically from inside the tub: remove the lower spray arm, filter screens, and cover to reach the impeller
• Note the order of parts and transfer any reusable hardware; replace worn O-rings/seals as needed
• Do not overtighten plastic parts; verify the impeller spins freely before reassembly and testing

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

This spray arm retaining nut secures the dishwasher spray arm to its hub, keeping it aligned and spinning for consistent wash coverage. Replacing a worn or stripped nut restores spray performance and helps prevent the arm from detaching during cycles.

• Secures the spray arm to the hub/pump outlet so it rotates freely
• Helps maintain proper alignment and clearance to avoid rubbing or leaks
• Direct replacement for a cracked, loose, or stripped spray arm nut
• Common symptoms: poor cleaning, rattling noises, or the spray arm falling off

This door switch detects when the dishwasher door is fully closed and latched. Replacing a worn or intermittent switch restores reliable start/stop operation and ensures the safety interlock cuts power whenever the door is opened.

• Senses door-closed status and sends a signal to the control
• Interrupts power to the machine when the door opens
• Helps prevent operation with an unlatched door
• Typical failure symptoms: won't start, stops mid-cycle if the door is bumped, or only runs when pressing on the door

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the latch/switch area by removing the inner door panel or console; note wire locations
• Transfer wires one at a time and secure the new switch in the bracket
• Verify latch engagement and switch actuation before restoring power

This rack stop clips onto the end of a dishwasher rack rail to keep the rack from sliding off the track. Replacing a worn or missing stop helps the rack glide securely and prevents accidental pull-outs during use.

• Prevents the rack from being pulled out too far and falling off the rail
• Helps restore smooth, secure rack operation
• Common fix for racks that slide out too far or feel unstable

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing

• Helps ensure proper detergent or rinse-aid dispensing
• Can reduce moisture-related corrosion or staining in the dispenser area

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Remove inner door panel to access the dispenser assembly
• Note grommet orientation; seat fully to ensure a watertight seal
• Inspect surrounding surfaces for debris or damage before reassembly
