Shawn T Cheyenne , WY October 08, 2023 Appliance: General Electric Dishwasher GLD5860L15SS Ge Dishwasher Gld5860l15ss: Unresponsive controls. How to replace Plunger Spring. I removed the screws to separate the inner and outer door parts, removed the switch cover, replaced the plunger and spring, then reassembled. It took 5 minutes and solved the problem. The issue was that the dishwasher didn’t think the door was shut because the plunger wasn’t activating the switch properly. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
