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

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

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.
