Compatibility Notes
-
Make sure the model number of your dishwasher matches one listing WD18X10034 as the sump inlet part. Differences in tub or pump assembly may change part requirements.
-
Even if the part number matches, check physical fit-dimensions and mounting points — sometimes revisions of the same model use slightly different assemblies.

-
Using a non-OEM or incompatible part may affect warranty coverage or cause improper water routing.
