WP8268937 Whirlpool Dishwasher Air Diverter

Dishwasher Air Diverter.

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. The company's dishwasher air inlet is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed to manage the air flow entering the dishwasher's drying system. It is strategically positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher door to facilitate air entry during the drying stage of the cleaning cycle. The purpose of the air inlet diverter is to enhance drying efficiency by allowing a specific amount of room air to circulate inside the dishwasher, which helps evaporate moisture from the dishes.

This Whirlpool air inlet is compatible with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.

The component addresses several issues including:

- Dishes not drying completely or showing water spots post-cycle
- Excess humidity or moisture buildup inside the dishwasher post-cycle
- Odd noises or rattling sounds near the air inlet diverter
- Problems with closing or sealing the dishwasher door effectively
