This fine screen is the small mesh filter that sits in the dishwasher sump to catch food particles and help protect the pump and wash system. It keeps debris from circulating so dishes rinse more effectively. What it does:

• Traps food and debris in the sump to prevent clogging and pump damage
• Helps maintain proper water flow for consistent wash and drain performance
• Reduces risk of food redepositing on dishes during cycles
• Commonly replaced when torn, heavily clogged, or missing

• One fine mesh sump screen

• Turn off power and disconnect the dishwasher before servicing
• Remove the lower dish rack and access the sump area to replace the screen
• Inspect surrounding seals and housing for damage while servicing
• No special tools typically required; handle mesh gently to avoid deformation

This Barrier protects and separates appliance components, keeping wiring and parts properly aligned for reliable operation. It's a simple, durable replacement that restores the original spacing and support inside the appliance. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting/separation surface to prevent rubbing or contact between parts
• Helps maintain correct component alignment to reduce vibration and noise
• Prevents wiring or small parts from contacting hot or moving components
• Common symptom: visible cracks, breaks, or shifted parts where components no longer sit securely

• One barrier as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Remove any panels or covers that block access; keep track of fasteners
• This part typically installs with screws or snap-fit tabs—do not force components

This jumper wire connects control board circuits at the range/oven control panel to restore proper panel signaling. It's a simple replacement that helps resolve intermittent or missing control responses caused by a broken or damaged jumper. What it does:

• Bridges specific control panel terminals to complete circuit paths between the user interface and main control
• Restores continuity when an existing jumper is cracked, corroded, or broken
• Helps eliminate intermittent touch/control pad failures or non-responsive buttons linked to a faulty jumper
• Small, direct-use part for electronic control troubleshooting

• One jumper wire as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Access may require removing the control panel or console—follow OEM service instructions
• Handle wiring and connectors carefully to avoid bending pins or damaging the control board

This plate-latch strike secures the appliance door by engaging the latch assembly so the door stays closed during operation. It replaces a worn or damaged strike to restore proper door closure and reliable operation. What it does:

• Provides a sturdy contact point for the door latch to engage and hold the door closed
• Helps prevent the door from popping open during use, which can cause cycle interruption
• Addresses symptoms like a door that won't stay latched, won't close fully, or causes the unit to stop mid-cycle
• Works as the mating strike for the existing latch assembly to ensure proper alignment

• One plate-latch strike

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access the strike by opening the door; remove any trim or screws as needed to reach the strike mounting location
• Install replacement in the same orientation as the original and tighten fasteners securely without over-torquing
• After installation, verify the door latches smoothly and the appliance completes its normal cycle

This disk valve diverter directs wash water flow between spray arms and wash zones to restore proper circulation and cleaning performance. It replaces a worn or damaged diverter to help return consistent spray pressure and distribution. What it does:

• Routes pump water to the correct spray arm or wash zone during the wash cycle
• Helps maintain even spray pressure for effective cleaning
• Worn or broken diverter can cause poor cleaning, reduced water to a spray arm, or unusual pump noise
• Prevents bypass flow that can reduce wash performance

• One disk valve diverter as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance and shut off the water supply before starting
• Access may require removing the tub access panel or disassembling spray arm/tub components
• Inspect surrounding seals and gaskets; replace any damaged parts to prevent leaks
• After installation, run a short cycle and check for proper water routing and leaks

This spacer fits between tank components to maintain proper spacing and alignment, helping reduce vibration and wear. Use this genuine replacement to restore correct clearances and improve stability in the appliance's tank assembly. What it does:

• Positions and separates tank parts to maintain correct alignment during operation
• Helps reduce noise and vibration caused by misaligned components
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact that can cause premature wear or damage
• Restores factory clearances after service or replacement of tank parts

• One spacer

• Designed for direct replacement; use the OEM mounting location and orientation
• Disconnect power and water (if applicable) before beginning repair
• If fasteners or surrounding components are worn or damaged, replace them to ensure a secure fit

The Thermostat Housing is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It encases the thermostat responsible for accurately monitoring water temperatures throughout cleaning cycles. 

Symptoms of a faulty housing include:

• Inconsistent or improper water heating  
• Delayed or incomplete cycles from temperature control issues
• Error codes or failure detection by the control board

Causes may involve cracks allowing steam penetration, loose mounting points compromising seals, or damaged seals leaking interior thermostat components. 

This OEM replacement fits Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models as well.
