Parts for Kitchenaid KDFE204KBS0: Upper Wash And Rinse 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 Top Spray Arm is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers.

As a rotating component, the top spray arm endures constant motion which can cause wear over time.

Causes of a bad top spray arm include deterioration or cracks in the plastic from extended use, or blockages that restrict water flow.

Symptoms of a bad top spray arm include:

• Incomplete cleaning of upper rack dishes
• Buildup of food debris or grime that won't rinse away
• Noticeably weaker spray pattern from the arm nozzles

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

The Manifold is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It directs water from the inlet valve through internal tubing to crucial components such as the pump, arms, and dispenser. As the central water manager, the manifold ensures each cycle stage receives water at the right temperature and pressure. 

Causes of a bad manifold can include cracks, distortions, or obstructions restricting water flow over many cycles.

Symptoms of a bad manifold include:

• Slow or inefficient washing and rinsing 
• Water not reaching all parts of the dishwasher
• Leaks or puddling around the valve area
• Abnormal sounds originating from the manifold

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore models.
