Parts for Maytag DFC5500AAX3: 01 - Upper Housing And Flange Parts

This stopper assembly seals the drain opening to allow tubs or sinks to fill and hold water. It replaces a damaged or worn stopper so you can restore proper fill-and-hold function and stop unwanted leaks. What it does

• Seals the drain to hold water for washing or soaking
• Opens and closes to allow controlled draining when needed
• Stops water from leaking around a worn or damaged stopper
• Restores normal fill-and-drain operation when the original stopper no longer seals

• One stopper assembly as shown

• Turn off water supply and remove standing water before starting
• Basic hand tools usually required; follow the appliance or sink manufacturer instructions
• Inspect surrounding drain and seals during replacement; replace damaged gaskets if present

This sink flange seal is a rubber gasket that creates a watertight seal between the sink and drain flange to help prevent leaks and water damage. Use it when the flange seal is cracked, flattened, or leaking. What it does:

• Seals the gap between the sink and drain flange to stop water from leaking under the sink.
• Helps prevent sink-edge water pooling and slow drainage caused by a failed seal.
• Reduces chance of odors from trapped water beneath the flange by restoring a tight seal.
• Restores proper fit when replacing a corroded or worn sink flange assembly.

• One sink flange seal (rubber)

• Turn off water supply and disconnect drain components before replacing the seal.
• Remove the drain flange assembly, clean mating surfaces, then seat the new seal evenly.
• Avoid stretching or cutting the seal; replace it if damaged or misshapen.

A replacement mounting flange that secures a rotating shaft or assembly to the appliance cabinet, restoring proper alignment and stable operation. Fits original mounting points to reduce vibration and noise from loose or worn hardware. What it does

• Secures a shaft, drum or assembly to the cabinet to maintain alignment and smooth rotation.
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by a worn or broken flange.
• Helps prevent excess wear on bearings and seals by keeping parts properly positioned.
• Can stop intermittent contact or scraping noises that occur when mounting hardware is damaged.

• One mounting flange

• Disconnect power before servicing and follow the appliance manufacturer's service instructions.
• Remove access panels to reach the flange; save and reuse any original fasteners unless damaged.
• May require removing the drum or related assembly for access—refer to the service manual for procedure.
• If seals, bearings or fasteners are worn, replace those items as needed.

This snap ring (circlip) secures a shaft or component in a groove to prevent axial movement, helping keep assemblies aligned and running smoothly. It's a small but critical retention part for appliance mechanisms. What it does:

• Holds bearings, shafts, or retainers in place by locking into a groove
• Prevents axial movement that can cause wobble, noise, or misalignment
• Maintains proper spacing of moving parts for reliable operation
• Common symptom: loose or shifting component, increased play or noise near the affected area

• One snap ring (circlip)

• Install with proper snap-ring (circlip) pliers to avoid deformation or injury
• Ensure the groove and ring are clean and free of debris before seating
• Inspect the ring for damage or wear; replace if distorted or cracked

This mounting gasket creates a tight, cushioned seal where a component attaches to its housing or bracket. Replacing a worn seal helps stop leaks and rattles while restoring a secure, reliable connection at the mounting point.

• Forms a seal between two mounting surfaces to help prevent leaks or seepage
• Cushions and isolates vibration for quieter operation
• Helps maintain proper alignment of the mounted component
• Replace if the gasket is cracked, flattened, brittle, or no longer sealing

• Disconnect power and shut off water or gas, if applicable
• Note the gasket's orientation before removal
• Clean and dry both mating surfaces; remove all old gasket material and residue
• Seat the new gasket evenly; reassemble and tighten fasteners snugly without overcompressing; test for leaks/operation

This small retainer clip secures trim, panels, or components to keep appliance parts aligned and stable during normal use. It helps prevent panels from coming loose and reduces vibration or rattling. What it does:

• Holds panels, trim pieces, or brackets in place to maintain proper fit and alignment
• Prevents parts from shifting or vibrating during operation
• Addresses symptoms like loose trim, rattling noises, or panels that won't stay seated
• Works as a replacement for worn, broken, or missing clips that no longer secure components

• One retainer/mounting clip

• Turn off power to the appliance before attempting repair to avoid injury
• Remove adjacent panels or trim as needed to access the clip location; use appropriate hand tools
• Replace the clip by aligning it with the mating groove or hole and snapping or sliding it into place until seated
• If multiple clips are damaged, replace all affected clips for a secure fit
