• Helps maintain even water distribution for better cleaning
• Prevents excessive splashing and pooling inside the door area
• Can reduce noise caused by loose or broken trim pieces

What's included:

• One baffle/water deflector

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Remove the dishwasher door trim or inner panel as required to access the baffle
• Handle trim pieces carefully to avoid scratching or damaging the finish
