W11414076 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Circulation Pump Motor Assembly
The W11414076 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement circulation pump and motor assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Kenmore, and Ikea dishwashers. The circulation pump is the heart of the wash system — it pressurizes and delivers water to the spray arms, driving the jets that blast food and residue off your dishes throughout the wash and rinse cycles. When the circulation pump fails, cleaning performance collapses: dishes come out dirty or unrinsed, water pressure at the spray arms drops, and the machine may make loud droning or grinding noises.
This is a complete circulation pump and motor assembly. Common causes of failure include worn motor bearings (which produce a continuous drone that gets louder over time), deteriorated impellers, and seal breakdowns. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the W11414076 is the current production part that supersedes W11122133. It also replaces AP6980104, EAP12745416, PS12745416, 4958907, and OEM20940317. Note: this assembly does not include the drain pump — your existing drain pump transfers over to the new assembly during installation. Installs in 45–90 minutes with basic hand tools (the dishwasher must be pulled out and laid on its back to access the pump).

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves — Major Access Required Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. This is a more involved repair because the circulation pump is on the bottom of the dishwasher. Throw the circuit breaker, remove the lower access panel, and open the electrical box to completely disconnect the electrical from the dishwasher. Disconnect the water supply line and the drain line. Remove the anchor screws securing the dishwasher to the counter, then pull the dishwasher out of the cabinet. Have a large towel ready — rotate the dishwasher and lay it on its back to access the pump on the bottom. Photograph everything before disconnecting. Disconnect all connections to the main circulation pump: the drain pump, the electrical connections, the leak-detection plate and circuit, and the water lines. Undo all clamps to the circulation pump. Remove the old circulation pump assembly. Transfer your existing drain pump to the new W11414076 assembly — it is not included. (If you're only replacing a noisy motor and the pump case is good, the motor separates from the case with 3 Torx screws and can be swapped on its own.) Install the new assembly, reconnect the drain pump, electrical connections, leak-detection plate, water lines, and all clamps, matching your photos. Stand the dishwasher back up, slide it into the cabinet, reconnect water/drain/electrical, and secure the anchor screws. Run a short test cycle and check for leaks. Note: use your dishwasher's onboard diagnostic function to confirm the pump was the issue — light/error codes vary by model, so check the quick guide that came with your specific dishwasher rather than relying on codes listed online for other models. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, Torx driver (T-set), nut driver, pliers, large towel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
The motor runs but water barely reaches the spray arms — do I definitely need a new pump?
Maybe not — try this first, because it could save you the entire repair. On many KitchenAid/Whirlpool-platform dishwashers, there's a fine filter screen INSIDE the circulation pump on the impeller. This screen can clog with microplastics and fine food particles over time (sometimes after a surprisingly small number of wash cycles), which chokes off water flow even though the motor is running perfectly. The screen can look clean but still be blocked — a real-world test is to hold water in the mesh cup: if it holds water like a cup instead of draining freely, it's clogged. Cleaning it with a toothbrush restores full flow. To access it you do have to pull the pump (the same disassembly as replacing it, then 2 Torx screws to open the pump), so if you're already this far in, disassemble and inspect the screen BEFORE installing a new pump — you may find the old pump is perfectly good. Running a dishwasher-safe cleaning product through the machine first is also worth a try.
My dishwasher motor is loud and getting louder — is that the pump?
Yes, that's a classic sign of worn circulation pump motor bearings. The motor bearings wear out over time, and as they degrade they produce a continuous drone that steadily gets louder. Once the bearings have failed, the noise won't go away on its own and the motor should be replaced. On this assembly, the motor separates from the pump case with 3 Torx screws — some customers who only have a bearing/noise problem (and an otherwise good pump case) simply swap the motor and reuse the case. If you order the full assembly, you get both, and you can decide during the repair whether to swap just the motor or the whole thing.
Does this come with the drain pump?
No — the W11414076 is the circulation pump and motor assembly, and it does not include the drain pump. During installation, you'll transfer your existing drain pump from the old assembly to the new one (it detaches and reattaches). This is normal for this repair. If your drain pump is also failing (separate symptoms: won't drain, water left standing after the cycle), that's a different part you'd order separately. The circulation pump handles washing/spray pressure; the drain pump handles emptying the tub.
What's the difference between W11414076 and W11122133?
These are the same circulation pump assembly across production revisions. W11122133 was the earlier OEM part number, and W11414076 is the current production version that Whirlpool issued as its direct replacement. Both are physically and functionally interchangeable — if your dishwasher's parts diagram shows W11122133, the W11414076 is the correct current replacement, and this listing covers both. The cross-references AP6980104, PS12745416, and 4958907 are additional catalog identifiers for the same part.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same circulation pump and motor assembly installed in compatible Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore Whirlpool-built dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

154825001 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dishwasher Heating Element
The 154825001 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM round heating element that sits exposed at the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Unlike a hidden element concealed beneath the tub floor, this is a visible ring-shaped element you can see sitting right in the bottom of the wash chamber. It serves two jobs: it heats the wash water to the temperature needed to properly dissolve detergent and break down grease and food soil, and at the end of the cycle it provides the heat that drives the drying phase, helping moisture evaporate off your dishes rather than leaving them wet.
Mounted through a 0.98" hole with two mounting nuts and connected by two wire terminals, this element carries a pair of white alignment dots that must line up with the tub's retaining clips during installation. Over time, mineral buildup from hard water, general corrosion, or simple electrical wear can cause the element to fail. A failing or dead element produces a specific and recognizable pattern: water never gets hot enough to clean effectively, dishes come out wet at the end of the cycle instead of dry, and the whole cycle may run noticeably longer as the dishwasher's control tries to compensate. It directly replaces AP5628696, 154482901, 154663801, 2308825, PS3653449, and EAP3653449. As a genuine OEM part, the 154825001 is manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The 154825001 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dishwasher Heating Element fixes Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, and Westinghouse dishwashers with dishes that don't get properly clean, dishes that come out wet instead of dry, or cycles that take longer than they used to. Exposed round heating element, 0.98" mounting hole, 2 wire terminals. Replaces AP5628696, 154482901, 154663801, 2308825, PS3653449, EAP3653449. Before replacing, test the old element with a multimeter for resistance — a bad control board relay can produce identical symptoms with a perfectly good element.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dishes not getting properly clean because wash water isn't reaching the correct temperature
Dishwasher not drying dishes — items come out wet at the end of the cycle
Cycle taking noticeably longer than usual to complete
Visible damage, corrosion, or discoloration on the element itself
Element that doesn't glow or heat up when the wash cycle is running
Water leaking near the high-temperature wire connector at the element terminals
Mineral scale buildup visible on or around the element

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher And Shut Off Water Before Starting — Handle The Element Carefully Disconnect power at the circuit breaker and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. On many models you'll need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter to access the undercarriage — remove the two screws securing the unit to the counter first. Remove the lower rack and the lower spray arm (it typically pushes down and twists to unlock) to access the element inside the tub. From underneath, disconnect the two wires from the element's terminals and remove the two mounting nuts with a 1/2" wrench, taking care not to overtighten when you reach the new element — over-torquing can crush the sealing washers and cause a leak at the connector. Lift the old element free from its retaining clips inside the tub. To install the new 154825001, locate the two white alignment dots on the element and position them so they slide into the tub's retaining clips correctly — this ensures the element seats in its proper orientation. Push the terminals down through the mounting hole, then from underneath, reinstall and tighten the mounting nuts snugly but not excessively. Reconnect the two wires to the terminals, reinstall the lower spray arm and press it down to lock it in place, and reinstall the lower rack. Restore water and power, then slide the dishwasher back into place and secure it to the counter with its mounting screws. Run a test cycle and check underneath for any leaks at the element connection before considering the repair complete. Tools needed: screwdriver, 1/2" wrench, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know it's the heating element and not something else, like the control board?
Before replacing the element, it's worth testing it with a multimeter for resistance — a healthy element typically reads in the neighborhood of 14 ohms, though exact values vary by model. If the old element tests fine but dishes still aren't drying or getting hot enough, the more likely cause is upstream of the element itself, such as a control board relay that isn't sending power to it correctly. Some owners have replaced a perfectly good element only to find the actual fault was a bad solder connection on the control board relay — testing first can save you an unnecessary purchase.
Can I clean the element instead of replacing it?
Light surface cleaning to remove mineral scale buildup is reasonable and can sometimes help if reduced heating output is due to scale insulating the element. However, if the element tests as an open circuit (no continuity) or shows visible damage, cracking, or corrosion through the metal sheath, cleaning won't restore it — replacement is the correct fix at that point.
I noticed water leaking near the element's wire connector. Is that related?
Yes, this is a documented failure point on this element design — the high-temperature wire connector at the terminals can develop a leak, especially if the mounting nuts were overtightened during a prior installation and damaged the sealing washer. When installing the new element, tighten the mounting nuts snugly but avoid excessive force, which helps prevent this same leak point from recurring.
Do I really need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter?
On most installations, yes — accessing the mounting nuts and wire terminals underneath the tub requires pulling the unit forward after removing the two screws that secure it to the counter. Some technicians have managed the nut removal with a deep socket without fully pulling the unit, but planning for full access makes the job considerably easier, especially the first time.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original heating output, mounting configuration, and terminal layout of the element originally installed in your dishwasher.

WPW10348269 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Drain Pump Motor
The WPW10348269 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM drain pump motor for Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper dishwashers. This pump uses an electric motor to create suction, pulling wastewater out of the tub and expelling it through the drain hose at the end of each cycle. This is the dedicated drain pump, distinct from a circulation pump — such as our WPW10605057 listing — which handles spraying water through the spray arms during the wash itself rather than draining it afterward.
Rated 120VAC, 60Hz, 45W, 0.7A, with a run time pattern of 5 minutes on, 30 minutes off. Ships as a complete pump motor with impeller and O-ring. If the impeller becomes damaged or the motor shorts out and stops draining, the pump body itself can crack over time, leading to leakage — replacing the pump before that happens is the more reliable fix. Symptoms of a failing drain pump include water not draining from the tub, unusual noise such as grinding during the drain phase, or visible leaks from underneath the unit. It directly replaces W10348269, W10084573, 661662, 8558995, 8565839, W10158351, WPW10348269VP, AP6020066, AWP49992, PD00004898, PS11753379
Quick Answer
The WPW10348269 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Drain Pump Motor fixes Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper dishwashers that aren't draining, are making grinding noise during the drain phase, or are leaking from underneath. 120VAC, 60Hz, 45W, 0.7A. Includes impeller and O-ring. Replaces W10348269, WPW10348269VP, W10084573, W10158351, 661662, 8558995, 8565839, 2813258, AP6020066, EAP11753379, PD00004898, PS11753379. This is the drain pump — a separate part from our WPW10605057 circulation pump listing, which handles spraying water rather than draining it.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dishwasher not draining — standing water left in the tub after a cycle
Grinding noise coming from the drain pump area
Water leaking from underneath the dishwasher
Cycle stalling or failing to advance past the drain step
Dishes not getting cleaned as a downstream effect of drainage problems

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher Before Starting — Removing The Unit Makes Access Easier Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. This repair can be done without pulling the dishwasher out from under the counter, but many technicians find it considerably easier to access the pump if you do pull the unit out first. Remove the lower rack and any components blocking access to the tub floor, then work from underneath the dishwasher to reach the drain pump. Test the old pump for continuity with a multimeter before removing it — if it shows no continuity, or if it's getting power but still won't run, that confirms the pump has failed. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector and the drain hose connection from the old pump, remove its mounting hardware, and pull it free. Install the new WPW10348269 in the same position, reconnect the drain hose connection securely, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reinstall any components removed for access and the lower rack. Restore power, run a test cycle, and check underneath for leaks while confirming the tub drains completely at the end. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 5/16" nut driver, 5/8" wrench, flathead screwdriver, multimeter, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter for this repair?
Not strictly — this pump can be replaced without fully removing the dishwasher. That said, several customers who've done this repair note that pulling the unit out first makes access considerably easier, since you're working from underneath the appliance either way. If you have the space to pull it out, it's worth doing to make the job smoother.
How do I know if the pump has actually failed?
Test the pump motor with a multimeter set to continuity before replacing it. If there's no continuity, or if the pump is receiving power but still won't run, that confirms the motor has failed and the pump should be replaced. This quick check avoids replacing a part that isn't actually the problem.
My old pump was leaking. Why does that happen?
If the impeller becomes damaged or the motor shorts out and stops running, the pump body itself can develop a crack over time, which leads to leakage. Rather than trying to repair a leaking pump, replacing the complete assembly resolves both the drainage failure and the leak at the same time.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original motor, impeller, and hose connection configuration of the drain pump originally installed in your dishwasher.

XPARTCO DC97-16350U Washer Suspension Rod Kit (Set of 4)
The XPARTCO DC97-16350U is an aftermarket replacement washer suspension rod kit (set of 4) compatible with a wide range of Samsung top-load washers in the WA40, WA41, WA42, WA44, WA45, WA49, and WA50 series. The suspension rods are spring-loaded shock-absorbing rods that connect the outer washer tub to the top corners of the cabinet frame, suspending the tub and dampening the vibrations generated during agitation and high-speed spin cycles. When one or more rods lose tension, break, or degrade, the tub swings off-center and strikes the cabinet walls — causing violent shaking, loud banging, error code dc (out of balance), UE imbalance errors, and progressive damage to the machine.
Each rod measures 26.4–26.5 inches in overall length and 1-1/4 inches in diameter, constructed from spring steel with plastic end caps. The kit includes all 4 suspension rods — always replace all four at the same time since they wear at the same rate. It directly replaces DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, DC97-16350E, DC97-16350C, DC97-16350D, DC97-16350K, DC97-05280W, 4962798, AP6884450, EAP12720841, PS12720841, and PD00065434. Wear gloves during installation — the rods are coated with grease. Installs in 20–30 minutes — no special tools required.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC97-16350U Washer Suspension Rod Kit fixes Samsung top-load washers that vibrate violently, bang loudly, walk across the floor, or display dc or UE imbalance error codes during spin. Set of 4 rods, 26.4–26.5" long, 1-1/4" diameter, spring steel with plastic end caps. Replace all 4 at the same time. Wear gloves — rods are greased. Compatible with Samsung WA40–WA50 series. Replaces DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, DC97-16350E, DC97-16350C, DC97-16350D, AP6884450, PS12720841.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — the suspension rods are coated with grease. Remove the lid and the top panel (typically secured by screws under the lid hinge covers and at the rear corners). With the top panel removed, the four suspension rods are visible at the corners, each running from a mounting point on the tub rim up to a hook or bracket at the top corners of the cabinet frame. Note the orientation and attachment method of each rod before removing. Unhook the top of each rod from the cabinet bracket and lift the bottom cup off the tub mounting pin. Install each new DC97-16350U rod by seating the bottom cup onto the tub mounting pin and hooking the top over the cabinet bracket. Replace all four rods before reassembling. Reinstall the top panel and lid, restore power and water, and run a spin cycle to verify smooth, quiet, centered operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver; no special tools required for the rods themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DC97-16350U and DC97-16350V?
Both are Samsung top-load washer suspension rods, but they are different lengths for different washer capacity generations. The DC97-16350U is approximately 26.4–26.5 inches long and is used on mid-capacity Samsung WA40 through WA50 series washers. The DC97-16350V is approximately 27.5 inches long and is used on larger-capacity WA48 through WA54 series washers. Using the wrong length rod causes the tub to sit at the wrong height inside the cabinet, which can cause new imbalance issues. Always measure your existing rods or verify your model number before ordering.
Why must I replace all 4 rods instead of just the broken one?
All four suspension rods experience the same amount of wear over the same number of wash cycles. When one rod fails, the remaining three have experienced the same stress and fatigue and are likely to fail soon after. Replacing only the broken rod leaves three worn rods supporting the tub unevenly — this can cause continued vibration, accelerate wear on the new rod, and require a second repair shortly after. Replacing all four at the same time ensures even tub support, fully resolves the imbalance, and prevents a repeat repair.
Do DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, and DC97-16350E all cross to the DC97-16350U?
Yes — DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, DC97-16350E, DC97-16350C, and DC97-16350D are all cross-reference part numbers for the same Samsung suspension rod assembly used across different production runs of the same washer series. Samsung updates part number suffixes during production revisions. All of these numbers have the same 26.4–26.5" length and are interchangeable with the DC97-16350U.
What do error codes dc and UE mean on Samsung washers?
Error code dc on Samsung top-load washers indicates the machine has detected an out-of-balance condition and stopped spinning to prevent damage. Error code UE indicates an unbalanced load that the washer cannot self-correct by redistributing. Both codes can be caused by an overloaded or unevenly distributed laundry load — but if the errors occur consistently even with normal, balanced loads, worn or broken suspension rods are the most common mechanical cause. Replacing the rod kit resolves these errors in most cases.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured from spring steel with plastic end caps to match the length and spring tension of the original DC97-16350U suspension rods.

W11434044 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve
The W11434044 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dishwasher water inlet valve assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir, Kenmore, Amana, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Ikea, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Norge, Modern Maid, and Caloric dishwashers. The water inlet valve is mounted at the base of the dishwasher and connects to the household cold water supply line. When the control board calls for water during the fill cycle, the valve's internal solenoid opens, allowing water to flow into the tub. The valve closes the instant the control board cuts power, stopping flow precisely when the correct water level is reached. Without a properly functioning inlet valve, the dishwasher can't get water into the tub — meaning it can't wash, rinse, or complete a cycle.
Rated 120V AC, 50/60Hz, 6/5W. Approximate dimensions: 2.9" H x 2.3" W with a 0.9" threaded orifice for the water supply connection. The package includes the water inlet valve, water outlet pipe (inlet hose), and two hose clamps — everything needed for the connection between the valve and the dishwasher's water divider. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the W11434044 directly replaces W11187724, W11025972, W11025970, AWP44732, AP6987233, and PS16217908. Important: the water inlet connection uses plastic threads, which are easily damaged by over-tightening or cross-threading — hand-tighten the water line carefully during installation. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher and Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves — DON'T OVER-TIGHTEN PLASTIC THREADS Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the household water supply at the shutoff valve under the sink before beginning. Wear work gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes. Have towels ready — residual water remains in the supply line and will spill when disconnected. Critical: the W11434044's water supply connection uses plastic threads. Multiple installers have reported stripping the plastic threads by over-tightening or cross-threading the water line during installation — always hand-tighten the fitting carefully and align the threads squarely before tightening. If your dishwasher is installed under a counter, working through the lower access panel is possible but tight — many installers find it easier to pull the dishwasher partially out from the cabinet, or lay it on its side, to reach the inlet connection cleanly (this also lets you use a 90-degree hose fitting without cross-threading). Remove the lower access panel (typically 2 screws) at the front bottom of the dishwasher. Locate the water inlet valve. Photograph the wire harness and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the household water supply line from the valve. Squeeze the hose clamps with pliers and slide them back to release the outlet hose from the valve, then disconnect the wire harness plug. Remove the mounting screws holding the valve in place. Install the new W11434044 valve, secure the mounting hardware, and reconnect the outlet hose and hose clamps. Push the electrical connector's fixing plate firmly into place before connecting the wire harness plug — this prevents the connector from falling out during operation. Reconnect the household water supply — hand-tighten the fitting carefully to avoid stripping the plastic threads. Restore water and power. Run a test cycle and check for leaks at all connections. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench (used lightly on plastic threads only!), channel-lock pliers, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dishwasher isn't filling with water — is the inlet valve the problem?
Very likely, yes — that's the most common symptom of a failed dishwasher water inlet valve. Before replacing, do a few quick checks: 1) confirm the household water supply to the dishwasher is turned on at the shutoff valve; 2) check the household water pressure at a nearby fixture (a nearby faucet) to make sure your home has normal pressure; 3) inspect the inlet screen on the valve for sediment buildup — a clogged screen can mimic a failed valve. If the supply is good and the screen is clean but the dishwasher still won't fill, the W11434044 valve solenoid has likely failed and replacing it will resolve the issue. You can also test the solenoid with a multimeter — no continuity means the solenoid has burned out.
What is the difference between W11434044 and W11025970/W11025972/W11187724?
These are the same water inlet valve across production revisions. W11025970 was the original OEM part number, W11025972 and W11187724 were mid-generation revisions, and W11434044 is the current OEM production version. All are physically and functionally interchangeable — if your dishwasher's parts diagram or the part on your appliance shows any of these numbers, the W11434044 is the correct current replacement, and this listing covers all of them.
Why is over-tightening the water line connection such a common issue?
The water supply inlet on the W11434044 has plastic threads to reduce cost and simplify manufacturing — but plastic threads are much less forgiving than brass or metal fittings. Cross-threading (starting the fitting at an angle instead of straight-in) or applying too much torque with a wrench will strip the plastic threads or split the fitting. Always align the water line fitting carefully by hand first, get several turns of engagement before applying any tool, and use only enough torque to snug the connection (typically hand-tight plus a very light quarter-turn with a wrench). If the threads are already stripped, the valve or a replacement plastic fitting will need to be ordered — the connection can't be repaired.
Should I lay the dishwasher on its side for this repair?
If you're finding it difficult to reach the water inlet connection cleanly through the lower access panel — which is a common complaint from installers — laying the dishwasher on its side (or pulling it partially out from the cabinet) makes the connection much easier to work with. This is especially helpful if your water supply line uses a 90-degree hose fitting that needs a straight approach for correct thread engagement. Before laying the dishwasher down, disconnect all connections and drain any residual water from the tub to avoid spills. Note that if the door has been damaged or bent, laying the unit on its side can worsen the damage — inspect first.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same water inlet valve installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir, Kenmore, Amana, and related Whirlpool-built dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
