This baffle fits the lower left-hand corner of the dishwasher, is black in color, made of plastic and has a matching right-hand lower corner baffle that is sold separately. The baffle is used to prevent water from leaking from the tub through the door. If your baffle is damaged, worn, or missing, it will cause the dishwasher to leak and the baffles will need to be replaced. It is recommended that you replace and install both the left and right baffle at the same time. This is a genuine OEM part.
