Parts for Roper RUD4300DQ3: 03 - Tub Assembly Parts

The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

The Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This gasket is designed to create a watertight seal around the dishwasher door, preventing water from leaking out during wash cycles. It ensures that the dishwasher operates efficiently by keeping water inside the unit, maintaining optimal cleaning performance, and protecting your kitchen from water damage.

Causes of a bad door gasket can include regular wear and tear from frequent use, exposure to high temperatures and harsh detergents, or damage from debris and foreign objects. Over time, these factors can lead to the gasket becoming brittle, cracked, or deformed, compromising its sealing ability.

Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:

• Water leaking from the dishwasher door during or after a cycle
• Visible cracks, tears, or deformities in the gasket
• The dishwasher door not closing properly or requiring extra force to close
• Mold or mildew buildup on the gasket

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

This grate captures heavy soils and debris at the bottom of the washer tub to help reduce re-deposition on clothing and keep the drain area clearer. Restores proper soil separation for more consistent wash results. What it does:

• Traps heavy dirt and debris so it doesn't recirculate onto clothes during the wash.
• Helps keep the drain/under-tub area clearer, reducing the chance of clogs.
• Supports proper water flow and soil separation for improved cleaning performance.
• Common symptoms indicating a failing or missing part: clothes still look soiled after a cycle, visible debris in the tub, or frequent drain blockages.

• One grate

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing the washer.
• Drain the tub and remove any agitator or tub components required for access.
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing parts or over-tightening plastic components.

The Deflector is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. Located in the lower corners of the tub, this component works to prevent leaks by keeping water from entering the cracks along the tub edges.

Causes of a bad corner deflector can include cracks, chips, or breaks from repeated impact or stress over time. Mineral buildup can also cause deflectors to warp or become misshapen, reducing their effectiveness.

Symptoms of a bad corner deflector include:

• Water leaks or moisture inside the cabinet below the dishwasher
• Puddles or drips near tub corners after cycles
• Mineral residue or pooling in lower tub corners

Replacing the corner deflector with a new OEM part restores a tight seal to prevent water from entering cracks and causing leaks or damaged components inside the cabinet.

• Works with the control and temperature sensor to reach and maintain set temperature
• Common symptoms of a failed heater may include no heat in convection mode, very long preheat, or poor browning/crisping
• Visible damage to the element or tripping a circuit breaker may also indicate a shorted heater

• Disconnect power before servicing. Microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a charge even when unplugged
• Allow the unit to cool completely; access typically requires removing the outer cover or lowering an over-the-range unit
• Note wire locations and routing before removal; transfer any brackets, shields, or screws from the original assembly
• Route wires exactly as original and avoid pinching; confirm clearances before reassembly and test a convection preheat

Its primary function is to prevent water from leaking out of the dishwasher during operation, thereby ensuring efficient and safe use of the appliance. 

Over time, rubber washers can deteriorate due to the constant exposure to water and chemicals found in dishwasher detergents. 

Symptoms of a bad Rubber Washer in a dishwasher include:

• Visible signs of wear or damage to the washer, such as cracks, brittleness, or deformation.
• Water leaking from the dishwasher, particularly around areas where hoses and valves connect.
