Whirlpool Dishwasher 441335, Replaces WP441335 Vent Motor Fixes No Steam Release Wet Dishes
If your dishwasher is leaving dishes wet or steam isn't releasing at the end of the cycle, the vent motor is the most likely cause. In most Whirlpool and KitchenAid dishwashers, the vent motor opens the vent door during the drying cycle to release hot, moist air. When it fails, moisture stays trapped inside — leaving dishes wet, spotted, and smelling stale. ⚡ Common failure point in Whirlpool-built dishwashers. Part 441335 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores proper venting and drying performance immediately.
