This O-ring is a circular sealing gasket that creates a watertight joint between mating parts. Replacing a flattened or cracked ring restores a tight seal and helps prevent leaks during operation.

• Provides a compressible seal between fittings, hoses, or housings
• Helps prevent drips and leaks at joints under normal system pressure
• Maintains proper flow by keeping connections sealed
• Typical failure signs: visible cracking/flattening, seepage at a joint, pooling water near the appliance

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Relieve any line pressure and place a towel to catch residual water
• Clean and inspect mating surfaces; replace any damaged components
• Lightly lubricate the O-ring with approved silicone lubricant, seat evenly without twisting, and test for leaks after reassembly

This O-ring seals the NTC (negative temperature coefficient) temperature sensor where it inserts into the appliance. It restores a watertight seal at the sensor port to help prevent leaks and maintain reliable temperature-sensing performance.

• Provides a leak-tight seal between the NTC temperature sensor and its housing/tub/sump
• Helps prevent water seepage and moisture intrusion around the sensor opening
• Common symptoms of a failed seal: drips near the base, moisture in the leak tray, flattened/cracked ring, or a sensor that feels loose
• Good practice to replace when the NTC sensor is removed for service

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Access the NTC sensor, remove the old O-ring, and clean mating surfaces
• Lightly moisten the new O-ring with water; seat it evenly to avoid pinching, then reinstall the sensor fully
• Run a brief test cycle and inspect for leaks

Small replacement O-ring that seals the dishwasher aqua sensor assembly to maintain a watertight seal and help ensure reliable sensor operation. Fits the sensor housing to reduce leaks and protect internal electronics. What it does:

• Seals the aqua/sensor housing to prevent water from escaping the sensor area
• Helps maintain accurate sensor readings by keeping the sensor dry and properly seated
• Commonly replaced when you see water pooling or dripping near the sensor assembly
• Used during aqua-sensor, pump, or housing repairs where the original seal is damaged

• Always disconnect power and turn off the water supply before starting repairs
• Replace the O-ring only when the sensor or housing is disassembled; inspect mating surfaces for damage or debris
• Ensure the O-ring is seated evenly in its groove before reassembly to avoid pinching or leaks

This micro filter is a fine-mesh replacement filter that traps food particles and debris in the dishwasher sump, helping maintain wash performance and protect the pump and drain from clogs. What it does:

• Clean surrounding areas and inspect for additional debris while replacing the filter

Support strap that cushions and secures the dishwasher circulation motor, stabilizing the motor assembly to reduce vibration and help maintain alignment for steadier, quieter operation. Designed for circulation motors with softer bearings. What it does:

• Cushions and supports the circulation motor to limit movement and vibration and reduce motor noise.
• Secures the motor assembly to the tub/chassis to maintain proper clearance and fit.
• Helps prevent undue stress on motor bearings and mounting points that can cause premature wear.
• Commonly replaced when the strap is cracked, stretched, or no longer holds the motor firmly in place.

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing; follow all safety and OEM service instructions.
• Remove access panels and any obstructing components to reach the circulation motor as required.
• Replace using the original mounting hardware; inspect motor mounts and bearings while accessible.
• Reassemble and run a short test cycle to confirm reduced vibration/noise and proper motor operation.

This sump collects and channels dishwasher wash water into the wash pump, helping maintain proper drainage and reduce leaks at the tub-to-pump connection. Replace a cracked or damaged sump to restore correct water flow and sealing. What it does

• Directs wash water from the tub into the wash pump and drain system.
• Houses the pump inlet and seals the pump-to-tub interface.
• Prevents leaks by providing a secure seal between the tub and pump assembly.
• Common symptoms: pooling water in the tub, dishwasher not draining, leaks from the base, or unusual pump noise/vibration.

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before starting any repair.

Spring-style hose clamp that secures flexible water hoses to fittings on select appliances, helping maintain a leak-tight connection at hose joints. Keeps hoses seated to reduce leaks and ensure reliable water flow. What it does:

• Holds flexible inlet, drain, or circulation hoses tightly on barbed fittings and nipples.
• Prevents leaks and water loss at hose connections by maintaining steady clamp pressure.
• Common signs it needs replacement: dripping or pooling near hose connections, a loose or wobbly hose, or visible clamp corrosion or deformation.
• Small, inexpensive part that restores a secure hose connection when the original clamp has failed.

• Always disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing appliance plumbing.
• For spring-style clamps, use pliers to open the clamp, position it over the hose, and release slowly so it seats properly; ensure the hose is fully pushed onto the fitting.
• Inspect the hose and fitting for damage; replace the hose if cracked or excessively worn before installing a new clamp.
• Wear eye protection when compressing or releasing spring clamps to avoid injury from sudden release.
