This baffle fits the lower right hand corner of some dishwashers. It is black rubber and has a matching left hand lower corner baffle. It is recommended that you replace and install both left and right at the same time. It will become evident that this part needs to be replaced if you are experiencing leaking or lack of draining. This is a very easy repair that requires no tools. Open the dishwasher door and simply use your hands to remove the baffle found in the lower right hand side of the dishwasher.

The dishwasher leaked all over the floor.

I am a helpless old lady living alone. My dishwasher leaked......not bad at first. I put a towel in front of it. It got worse. I was adding towels each time I ran it. I asked my son to look at it. He said to find out where it was leaking from. I noticed it was coming from the right side. I looked and saw this thing (the real name was corner baffle) that looked kinda used up. I told my son what it was and he said go online and order it. I did. It came I took the old one out. It just lifted out. I cleaned all the debris out from where it sat with a toothbrush and put The new one in. Easy peasy. Don't need a grown son. I can take care of myself.

The drain valve shaft seal is a part for your dishwasher drain pump valve. This seal creates a watertight closure around the flapper valve shaft. This part can be accessed through the access panel at the front for a built-in. For a portable dishwasher, consider disconnecting and unplugging the taps and lay on a blanket to access the bottom of the machine. This will need to be replaced if you notice leaking coming from the pump. This part measures approximately 3/8 inches in diameter and is black in color. This is a genuine OEM part that comes right from the manufacturer.

Leaking Drain Valve Shaft Seal

I took the lower cover pannel screws out of the dish washer to view the pump assy. Then remove the solinoid bracket which covered the Drain Valve Seal. The hardest part was removing the star washer in front of the seal. That is where I had to use the pliers to remove it. Then I had to straighten
the washer out so I could reuse it. Pulled old Seal out and replaced with new and reassembled. Test ran a cycle and wasn't leaking any more. Easy fix!

Dishwasher was leaking

Had to remove entire lower unit from dishwasher but it is a tight fit between the pump inlet flange and the floor.The next problem was to get the E clip off of the valve shaft. I knew the E clip had to be a straight fit when put back on the shaft so I had to straighten out before putting it back on the shaft after putting the new seal on the shaft correctly.Put the solonoid back on and made sure the valve shaft turned freely. Next fun was getting the pump unit back in place. Not easy (clearance) but got-er done!

Water leak from gate (diverter) valve

Read Joseph from Livermore, CA for good instructions. I took a camera phone photo for reference before I started. Should have taken another photo half way thru. Probably put the push-on-nut on backwards as it didn't 'lock' in - had too much play in the shaft, would have leaked. Impossible to get nut back off in good shape. I put original mangled push-on-nut on also - it added enough tension to eliminate play in the shaft. No leak..but lucky. Go ahead, you can do this repair for under $20.

dishwasher leaking from solenoid drain valve

Disconnect the power. Unscrew the bottom toe kick panel. Locate the solenoid drain valve to the front left of the machine and disconnect the wired connection. Pry off the retainer clip on the drain valve spindle and set aside for reuse. Plan on getting a new one because you will most likely damage it when removing. Remove the spring from the solenoid valve spindle arm to access one of the three screws holding the solenoid drain valve to the pump. Remove the three screws. Remove the solenoid and plastic housing. Remove the push-on-nut from the spindle by cutting off the old one with wire cutters. Plan on buying a new one because you will never get it off in one piece. Pry out old valve seal with a knife or thin screw driver. Insert new seal and install new push on nut over seal. Important!! make sure the drain valve opens/closes freely by hand because you may have pushed the spindle in to far when installing the push on nut. Place the push on nut in a socket wrench socket with an extension and hammer it on gently or try to start itwith pliers and use a small length of 3/8" copper tubing. Again, check to see if drain valve rotates and pull the spindle in or out with pliers to adjust. Reassemble remaining parts in reverse order. Leak shoud be fixed but check to see if machine drains properly. You may have to dissassemble and adjust the spindle again. This is a difficult repair with the machine left in place. However, it is worth 1-2 hours of your time and for about 20 bucks in parts and shipping. Good luck!!

Rubber connector was leaking (slit in rubber)

First I removed the dishwasher from underneath the countertop and laid it on its back. I used a nut driver to remove the pump support wire and the two clamps holding the rubber connectors to the pump. It helped to hook the pump support wire in a hole in the left side of the frame and reconnect it to the pump to hold it up out of the way. I was able to remove the rubber connector by hand and unscrew it. To install the new rubber connector tightly, I slipped a piece of 2" PVC pipe (outside diameter is 2-3/8") inside the connector and tightened the clamp around the connector and PVC pipe. This allowed me to use the pipe to tighten the rubber connector. I reassembled the dishwasher pump and connections and put the dishwasher back into service

This drain hose is an OEM, manufacturer-approved replacement part for your dishwasher. The drain hose filters out the wastewater from the dishwasher. If there is a hole in it, water will leak out of your dishwasher. Shut off the water and power to the unit before beginning this repair. Accessing the drain hose involves unscrewing the dishwasher and pulling it out. Remove the clamp holding the hose in place to its connection under the sink, using a 5/16ths socket. Disconnect the fill line. Use a 1/4 inch nut driver to loosen the clamp at the other end of the drain hose. Keep a towel handy for any water still inside. Keep the clamps for use on your new drain hose. Reinstall all hoses and lines in reverse order.

This coupler, also known as a hose connector, is made of white plastic and is about one inch in height, and just over one inch in length. Replacing the coupler is a fairly easy repair. The hardest part of the repair is accessing the spray arm and filter to remove them, in order to replace the coupler. In order to complete this repair, you will need a flat head screwdriver and a 4-inch nut driver.

Customer Repair Stories

Inside dishwasher door broke at door hinge.

Removed the existing inner door by removing screws along the edge of the inside door. Had trouble removing the door latch but after lifting it on one side of the plastic door fitting, it eventually lifted out. I also had some trouble getting the spring loaded soap door back into the replacement inner door. After playing with it for awhile I realized that the soap door should be in the open position when putting the spring latch back on. The soap door won't close until you get the entire inner door mounted and back on. I also want to note the the inside vent in the upper part of the inner door needs to be removed from the old inner door and installed in the new one. I missed that at first and it allowed condensation to get inside the door which caused the dishwashers alarm to go off during the dry cycle. One last note that I initially decided not to replace the existing sound proofing material in the new door based on advice from a website that stated that I wouldn't notice the sound difference. That was definitely untrue. I had to disassemble the door, replace the sound proofing and then it sounded fine. Overall it was a little difficult to figure out but considering how inexpensive the replacement door was compared with a having a service repairman come out, it was worth the trouble.

Water that fills your dishwasher lifts this float, and when it reaches a certain level, it acts as a trigger for the float switch. The float triggers the float switch to shut off, thereby shutting off the flow of water into the dishwasher.
