Description
The Sound Shield is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is designed to fit around the dishwasher tub and help shield surrounding areas from noise generated during washing cycles. The sound shield works to absorb sound vibrations and maintain a consistent noise level by insulating sensitive components.
Causes of a bad sound shield can include cracks or splits in the insulating material over time, or damage to the shield itself from external impact or stresses.
Symptoms of a bad sound shield include:
- Increased noise levels emanating from the dishwasher
- Discrete rattling or vibrating sounds localized to certain areas
- Failure of the sound shield to perform its insulating functions properly
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
