Review on Set of 2 Dishwasher Friction Pads, Compatible with Kenmore Whirlpool Dishwasher, Replaces WP8268961 PS11745488 AP6012281 PS731965 by Danny Kimble

I was relying on hope, not reviews - BIG mistake. They don't look like OEM parts except shape and color, all materials are wrong. In order for them to work, they must have a certain amount of elasticity so that they can cause friction. It's bad design, but we're stuck when we have these models. It's a Chinese imitation that looks good, but that's where the comparison ends. They are brick hard and smooth plastic, not rubbery. The right side has some firmness (not like a rubber band), but the material shouldn't feel hard and slick. Once installed, they do almost nothing. The door can now swing about 4 inches before it opens. OEM parts cost about twice as much but are worth it as they are useless.
