The Vent Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for sealing the vent area of the dishwasher, preventing any leaks or air gaps that could compromise the efficiency of the appliance.

A bad vent gasket can be caused by wear and tear, exposure to high temperatures, or damage due to food debris or cleaning agents. If you notice water leakage or steam escaping from the vent area, it may indicate a problem with the vent gasket.

Symptoms of a bad vent gasket include:

• Water leakage or drips from the vent area
• Steam escaping from the vent during operation
• Moisture remaining on dishes after a cycle
• Increased noise levels coming from the vent area

Replace your faulty vent gasket with this genuine OEM part to restore your dishwasher. 

This Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

This tub wheel mounts to the dishwasher's inner tub wall and guides the rack as it slides in and out. Replacing a worn wheel restores smooth rack movement and helps prevent binding, derailing, and scraping.

• Attaches to the tub to support and guide rack travel
• Helps keep the rack aligned on its tracks for smooth operation
• Typical failure symptoms: rack hard to slide, rack jumps off track or tilts, scraping/grinding noises, cracked or missing wheel
• Restores proper glide and reduces strain on rack components

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing the appliance
• Remove the rack for access; release the old wheel's clip/fastener from the tub and install the new wheel
• Ensure the wheel spins freely and the rack moves smoothly end-to-end
• Inspect other wheels and related hardware and replace as needed for even wear

The Thermostat Clip is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It plays an important supporting role by securely fastening the thermostat sensor inside the wash chamber. 

Symptoms of a faulty Thermostat Clip can include:

• Fluctuating or inconsistent water temperatures between cycles 
• Inability to properly detect temperature for desired heat levels
• Longer cycle times needed for reaching required temperatures
• Strange sounds or condensation around thermostat connection

Causes could arise from typical wear and tear stresses weakening plastic retaining clips. Exposure to harsh detergents may also erode clip material integrity over time.

This OEM replacement part is compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, and select Hotpoint and Roper dishwasher models as well.
