Whirlpool Water Deflector WP8528862 OEM Part

Dishwasher Tank Deflector, Black

The dishwasher tank deflector is engineered to avert water leaks. It has dimensions of 1 inch in width, 1.5 inches in height, and 1.5 inches in depth. This genuine OEM replacement part is designed for Whirlpool dishwashers and fits a range of brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it is compatible with select Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models. Positioned in the lower corners of the dishwasher tub, the deflector effectively maintains a watertight seal by blocking water from escaping at the edges.

Replacement of the corner deflector may be necessary when it exhibits wear such as cracks, chips, or warping, typically caused by routine use or mineral buildup. These flaws can impair its functionality.

Signs of a compromised corner deflector include:

- Water leaks or moisture beneath the dishwasher cabinet
- Puddles or drips at the tub corners after dishwasher cycles
- Mineral deposits or pooled water in the lower corners of the tub

Installing a new OEM corner deflector can restore a secure seal, aiding in the prevention of leaks that might damage internal parts.

This OEM component is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore dishwasher models.
