Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Door opens or falls more freely than normal.
• Door movement becomes less controlled when the friction pad is cracked, worn, broken, or missing.
• A broken friction pad may be found near the dishwasher or hinge area.

Check Before Replacing

• Inspect both door-hinge areas for a cracked, worn, broken, or missing friction pad.
• If a small rubber-like pad is found on the floor and the door has lost resistance, compare the hinge area with the replacement-part image and verify compatibility by complete appliance model number.
• Confirm the appliance model before ordering; part compatibility depends on the exact model.
