Whirlpool Dishwasher Parts and Accessories

Whirlpool offers a range of parts and accessories that you can use whenever you need to replace a part, repair your appliance, or would like to add an accessory that can expand the feature-set of your dishwasher. These parts cover every component found in Whirlpool dishwashers, no matter which model is used, such as baskets, doors, and motors. They are also available in several colors for you to select from.

Whirlpool offers many different types of parts and accessories for your dishwasher or other appliance, allowing you to select the one that fits your repair or replacement requirements if you find a problem.

• Dispenser: This is the component within the door of the dishwasher that releases the detergent when the machine is turned on each time. It typically consists of an unsealed area that is used before the wash and a sealed area that is used during the wash cycle.
• Pump: This is a component that circulates and drains the liquid that is used as the dishes are washed.
• Rack: This is the main component where you place all of the dishes before they are washed. There can be multiple racks in a single dishwasher.
• Valve: This part indicates and controls the amount of liquid that is filtered into the dishwasher.

The color that the part or accessory comes in largely depends on which one is selected, although most of these items are available in colors like black, gray, and white to match Whirlpool dishwashers.

To maintain the parts of the dishwasher, you will need to perform maintenance on the Whirlpool unit regularly. For instance, the spinning arms are necessary for the proper manual function of a dishwasher. When in use, these arms cycle water repeatedly from the bottom of the dishwasher. To keep these arms functioning properly, make sure to view the holes and check them on a regular basis and use detergent every time the dishes are washed. Keeping the interior of the dishwasher clean can allow the Whirlpool machine to run correctly.

When cleaning the dishwasher rack, remove it from the dishwasher and set it on the sink, which is where you will scrub the part with a combination of dish soap and warm water. Once you are finished, wipe off the rack with a wet cloth. For a more in-depth cleaning, consider using a scrub brush with dish soap, after which you can use a dry towel to wipe off the rack. It is suggested that you use vegetable oil on the wheels underneath them to make them run smoothly, spinning them a few times so that they get evenly coated. Once you have placed the rack back in the dishwasher, give the wheels a spin to ensure they are sufficiently oiled.
