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

This part is an upper dishrack assembly for dishwashers. The purpose of this part is to hold dishes and cookware during the washing process. There are two dish racks per unit, and this particular dishrack goes on the top of the unit. The lower dishrack assembly is sold separately. Over time, the upper dishrack assembly may rust due to the coating breaking down and water corroding the metal. If this happens, the dishrack assembly will become brittle and less structurally sound and will need to be replaced. If the attached rails have broken and will not attach to the sides of the dishwasher and slide appropriately, this part may need to be replaced.This upper dishrack assembly is compatible with dishwashers that are manufactured by the GE and Whirlpool brands. This particular component is an OEM part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually.
