Shx46a Parts

This pump housing is the molded drain-pump body that holds the pump impeller and channels wash water to the dishwasher drain. It restores proper water flow and sealing for a dishwasher's drain system. What it does:

• Houses the drain-pump impeller and forms the flow path for draining water
• Replaces cracked, leaky, or warped housing that can cause leaks under the dishwasher
• Helps stop noisy or inefficient draining when the original housing is damaged
• Works with the pump motor and seals to maintain correct pump operation

• Replacement requires accessing the dishwasher lower access panel or removing the toe kick and may require removing the tub or pump assembly depending on model
• Inspect seals, gaskets, and the impeller during replacement and replace if worn
• Disconnect power and water supply before starting; follow manufacturer service instructions

This insulating part provides a thermal and acoustic barrier that helps protect nearby components from heat and reduce operating noise. It's a simple replacement to restore proper insulation where worn or damaged. What it does:

• Helps block heat transfer from heaters, motors, or exhaust areas to surrounding components
• Dampens vibration and reduces noise caused by moving parts
• Helps prevent heat-related damage and premature component wear
• Commonly replaced when insulation is scorched, compressed, torn, or missing

• Disconnect power (and water supply if applicable) before servicing the appliance
• Remove the access panels or trim required to reach the damaged insulation; keep track of fasteners
• Fit the insulator into the original location and secure per OEM guidance; avoid compressing or folding the material
• Inspect surrounding components and replace any damaged parts
