The Manifold is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for providing water supply to the spray arms during the wash and rinse cycles. It provides proper distribution of water throughout the dishwasher, allowing for thorough cleaning of your dishes. It connects the main water supply line to various parts within the dishwasher, ensuring a consistent flow of water.

A bad manifold can occur due to wear and tear, clogs, or damage to the tubing. If you notice symptoms such as reduced water flow, leaks, or improper cleaning results, it may be time to replace the water supply tube manifold.

Symptoms of a bad manifold include:

• Reduced water flow during the wash cycle
• Leaks or drips from the manifold area
• Improper cleaning or rinsing results

Repair your dishwasher by replacing the faulty or worn-out water supply tube manifold with this genuine OEM part.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This tub insulation shield mounts at the front/base of the dishwasher tub to cover and secure the sound-dampening insulation. It helps protect the insulation from splash and wear so the blanket stays in place for quieter operation. What it does:

• Covers and protects the tub's insulation from moisture and abrasion
• Helps keep insulation properly positioned for sound and thermal performance
• Direct replacement for a cracked, warped, or missing shield
• Typical symptoms: exposed or sagging insulation, louder operation, or difficulty fitting the toe panel

• 1 tub insulation shield

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower toe panel/kickplate to access the shield area
• Position insulation correctly, then install the shield using the existing mounting points/hardware
• Reinstall the toe panel and test for proper fit and operation

This miniature door switch is the snap-action interlock that tells the appliance when the door is closed. Replacing a worn or sticking switch restores reliable start/stop and proper door-status sensing for safe, consistent operation. What it does:

• Acts as the latch/interlock sensor for door open/closed status
• Signals the control to allow or prevent operation based on door position
• Typical symptoms include: won't start or shows a door message, stops when the door is bumped, or light/fan behavior doesn't match door position

• 1 miniature door switch

• Disconnect power before servicing. If working on a microwave, high voltage may be present even when unplugged—properly discharge the capacitor.
• Access the latch/interlock area; note wire positions and transfer one lead at a time to the new switch.
• Use a multimeter to confirm the switch changes continuity when pressed before reassembly.

This mounting bracket holds and aligns the door interlock switch(es) so the control can accurately detect when the door is closed. Replacing a cracked or warped bracket restores reliable door recognition and consistent operation.

• Secures the door switch(es) in the correct position behind the front panel
• Maintains latch-to-switch alignment for proper door-closed detection
• Can address incorrect interior light behavior tied to door switch alignment

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the bracket by removing the necessary front/console panels
• Transfer existing switches and wiring to the new bracket; note wire positions
• Align and tighten fasteners; confirm switches click and door closes properly before reassembly

This replacement shield fits over the heater/probe area to provide a protective barrier. It helps prevent direct contact and excessive radiant heat exposure, protecting nearby components and supporting accurate temperature sensing for consistent operation. What it does:

• Shields the heating element and adjacent temperature probe/sensor area
• Helps prevent heat damage to nearby plastics, wiring, and components
• Reduces the chance of items contacting or striking the heater/probe
• Common signs it's needed: cracked, warped, or missing shield; discoloration; rattling or an exposed probe/heater area
