The original component had worn out over time on our appliance ended up being caused by a failing part. Took around thirty minutes from start to finish and the replacement solved it.

Connector alignment matched better than expected while replacing the old component because the appliance suddenly stopped working properly. Unit completed a full cycle without issues.

After dealing with a situation where the older unit needed replacement part, we installed this replacement part. No leaks or issues noticed so far. Worth verifying model number before ordering though.
