Dishwasher Check Valve Flap Replacement Guide

If your dishwasher fails to drain, it might be time to replace the check valve flap. This part is essential for proper dishwasher operation as it regulates water flow and prevents dirty water from re-entering the appliance. Commonly located near the drain hose, the check valve flap may need replacement due to normal wear, improper use, or damage. Such issues can cause draining problems, leaks, excessive noise, or display error codes.

For LG and Kenmore dishwasher models, the check valve flap is a high-quality OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part. When replacing, ensure the dishwasher is disconnected from the power source. You will need work gloves, pliers, and a screwdriver to complete the replacement efficiently.

This replacement can address several issues, including drainage problems. Remember, handling the replacement with care and the right tools can help maintain the efficiency and longevity of your dishwasher.
