Common Symptoms

  • Sharp screw ends are exposed along the dishwasher tub edge.
  • A cap is visibly missing, loose, cracked, or bent.
  • Moisture or debris can collect around an uncovered side-mounting screw opening.
  • The replacement cap does not remain securely seated after installation.

Check Before Replacing

  • With the dishwasher door open and power disconnected, visually inspect the tub-edge mounting-screw openings for a missing, cracked, bent, or loose cap.
  • Carefully check that the cap is seated over the screw opening and is not loose or protruding into the tub area.
  • Compare the suspect cap with an intact cap on the opposite side, when present, for visible damage or improper fit.
  • Do not treat this cap as a door-latch, door-balance, or water-sealing component; investigate those systems separately if the dishwasher door opens or leaks.

Pro Tip

This is a protective screw-hole cover, not a component that controls the dishwasher door or seals the wash tub. A missing cap should be replaced when sharp screw ends are exposed, but it normally does not explain general dishwasher operating failures.
