This replacement tension spring restores proper tension and smooth movement for the affected appliance mechanism. It helps bring parts back into correct alignment and reduces loose or inconsistent operation when the original spring fails. What it does:

• Provides restoring tension for the associated moving part to maintain correct position and motion
• Helps eliminate loose, sagging, or unstable movement caused by a worn or broken spring
• Reduces rattling or intermittent operation related to a failed spring
• Works with the appliance's pivot or latch assembly to ensure reliable engagement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Springs are under tension; wear eye protection and use appropriate tools to control tension during removal and installation
• Note orientation and attachment points of the old spring for correct reinstallation

This flat metal washer provides a durable spacer and load-bearing surface for fasteners in the appliance, helping maintain proper alignment and distribute pressure to prevent damage. Simple replacement for worn or missing hardware. What it does:

• Sits under a nut or bolt to distribute load and protect mating surfaces
• Helps maintain correct spacing and alignment of assemblies
• Reduces wear and loosening where fasteners contact panels or components
• Reduces vibration-related movement when installed correctly

• Power off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal components
• Remove the fastener carefully; note orientation and any mating parts for reassembly
• Replace only with the same type and thickness of washer to preserve fit and function
• If corrosion or additional hardware damage is present, inspect and replace adjoining fasteners or parts as needed

This door latch assembly secures the door closed and signals the control that it's safely shut, allowing cycles to start and run. Replacing a worn latch restores a reliable safety interlock and consistent operation.

• Secures the door and engages the safety interlock so the appliance can operate
• Sends a "door closed" signal to the control
• Common symptoms: door won't latch or stay closed; unit won't start or pauses as if the door is open; intermittent operation when the door is bumped; visible wear or damage to the latch
• Helps prevent nuisance "door open" indications

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the latch from the door area; remove inner panel or trim as required by your model
• Note wire positions, transfer connectors, and mount the new latch in the same orientation
• Test door closure before reassembly

This door strike is the small metal latch that engages the door catch so the appliance door closes and stays secure. Replaces a worn or damaged strike to restore proper door latching and safe operation. What it does:

• Provides the mating latch surface for the door catch so the door stays closed
• Restores secure door closure when a worn or bent strike prevents latching
• Can help resolve symptoms such as a door that won't stay closed, won't latch, or prevents the unit from starting
• Black oxide finish resists corrosion and reduces visible wear

• One door strike (black oxide)

• Disconnect power (and water for dishwashers) before beginning any repair
• Remove door panel or access trim to reach the strike; keep screws and fasteners organized
• Align strike carefully with the door catch; tighten screws snugly but avoid over-torquing
• Test door operation and any door-interlock switches before reassembling the unit

This door switch detects when the door is fully closed and latched. Replacing a worn or stuck switch restores safe, consistent start/stop behavior and ensures the unit only runs with the door securely shut. What it does:

• Senses door position and signals the control to enable/disable operation
• Prevents the appliance from running with the door open
• Resolves issues such as: won't start despite power, stops when the door is jostled, "close door" message, or needing to press on the door to run
• Helps restore reliable cycle start and proper safety interlock function

• 1 door switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the switch behind the door panel or latch area; note wire locations or take a photo
• Move wire connectors to the new switch one at a time; ensure terminals are fully seated
• Reassemble and test door closure and operation before returning to service

This catalyst is a dishwasher replacement component that helps maintain cleaning performance by promoting proper detergent action during the wash cycle. Use when cleaning results decline or persistent film/spotting appears after runs. What it does:

• Promotes the chemical action of detergent for more effective soil removal
• Helps reduce cloudy film, spots, and residue left on dishes
• Works as part of the dishwasher's wash system to support normal cleaning cycles
• Fits into the appliance at the factory-designated location and interfaces with existing components

• Disconnect power (and water supply if required) before starting service
• Handle part carefully and reinstall using the original mounting hardware
• Do not modify the part; use only as designed to ensure proper function

A replacement door screen that restores the barrier at the appliance door opening and helps keep debris out of the door cavity. Fits into the door assembly to maintain proper airflow path and appearance. What it does:

• Helps maintain the designed airflow path through the door opening for proper appliance operation
• Replaces torn, clogged or damaged screens that cause visible debris buildup at the door
• Reduces risk of small objects getting stuck in the door area and contacting internal components

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Remove the door or inner door panel per the appliance service instructions to access the screen
• Handle the screen gently to avoid bending or damaging mounting tabs; use approved fasteners if required
