Whirlpool WP8528862 Dishwasher Water Deflector

The Whirlpool WP8528862 Dishwasher Water Deflector is an essential piece of equipment that performs an integral part in directing water flow within your dishwasher. Usually, it's found in the wash tub's bottom front corners. This little but crucial component keeps water from rushing behind the dishwasher door and deflects it away from the corners, ensuring optimal water distribution throughout the wash cycle. This regulated water flow helps to clean your dishes as effectively as possible. The deflector also aids in preventing water buildup that could result in leaks or damage to your appliance by rerouting water away from the corners. To put it another way, the deflector serves as a guide to make sure that your dishes get a good cleaning from the concentrated jet of water.
