General Electric Cable Or Retainer

The Hinge Arm Link is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This component functions as a connection point between the dishwasher door and the hinge mechanism, allowing the door to open and close smoothly. The hinge arm link ensures that the door can bear the weight of itself, often laden with a mounted dish rack when fully loaded, without straining the hinges or misaligning.

Causes of damage to the hinge arm link often involve regular wear and tear from the constant motion of opening and closing the dishwasher door. 

Symptoms of a bad Hinge Arm Link include:

• Difficulty opening or closing the dishwasher door 
• A door that won't stay closed or opens unexpectedly 
• Visible wear or damage to the hinge arm link, such as bending, breaking, or severe wear marks 

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Door Cable is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This part is essential for the smooth and balanced opening and closing of the dishwasher door. It connects the door to the spring mechanism, providing the necessary tension to prevent the door from slamming open or shut.  

Over time, the door cable can wear out or become damaged due to the constant tension and movement, leading to a door that drops too quickly or is difficult to open or close.  

Symptoms of a bad Door Cable include:

• The dishwasher door slams open or shut
• The door feels heavier than usual or difficult to open
• Visible fraying or damage to the cable
• The door does not stay in the open position or opens too quickly

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Dishwasher Door Cable is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. It works with the door latch assembly to ensure secure closure of the dishwasher door. The cable is responsible for connecting the door handle mechanism to the latch, allowing users to easily open and close the door with a gentle pull or push. Note: It is recommended to replace both at the same time.

Symptoms of a bad door cable include: 

• The door not fully latching or staying closed securely
• Excessive movement or play of the door when closed
• The cable becoming worn, frayed, or detached

Causes of a bad cable can be frequent use that results in wear and fatigue of the internal wiring over time. Damage from harsh detergents or excess moisture can also compromise the cable.

This OEM GE replacement part is compatible with models from Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore dishwashers as well.

The Tub Dampening Strap Retainer is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This part holds the tub dampening straps in place, which help to stabilize the washing machine tub during operation.  

Causes of a bad retainer can include regular wear and tear, physical damage from heavy loads or impacts, and degradation over time. 

Symptoms of a bad tub dampening strap retainer include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during wash cycles
• Increased noise levels during operation
• The washing machine moving or becoming unbalanced during use
• Visible damage or wear on the retainer or straps

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This arm valve installs in the dishwasher's spray arm feed to control water flow. It helps maintain proper pressure so the spray arm spins and distributes water evenly for effective cleaning.

• Directs water through the spray arm and helps maintain wash pressure
• Prevents unintended backflow that can reduce spray performance
• If worn, stuck, or missing, lead to weak spray or poor cleaning results
• Common signs include intermittent wash coverage or spray arm not rotating as expected

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Remove the rack/spray arm or feed manifold to access the valve
• Note the valve's orientation and seat the new valve fully in the same direction
• Reassemble and run a quick cycle to check for proper spray and leaks

This crystal retainer secures the clear lens on the appliance's control panel, keeping it properly seated and protected. Replacing a damaged or missing retainer restores a snug fit and helps prevent the lens from shifting or rattling.

• Holds the lens/crystal firmly in place to protect the window over the clock/timer or display
• Maintains proper alignment and a clean, finished appearance around the panel window
• Helps reduce vibration, rattling, or gaps around the lens area
• Failure may show as a loose or missing window, uneven fit, or buzzing from the panel

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the retainer from behind the control panel; remove covers/screws as needed to reach the lens area
• Support the lens while removing/installing the retainer so it doesn't fall
• Wear gloves and eye protection; sheet-metal edges can be sharp

Secure your washer's drain hose with this drain hose strap. It keeps the hose positioned at the standpipe or laundry tub, helping prevent movement, dislodging, and messy leaks when vibration increases during drain and spin cycles.

• Secures the drain hose to a standpipe or utility sink, per installation guidelines
• Helps prevent the hose from backing out or spraying water during operation
• Reduces strain and kinking by keeping the hose routed in place
• Replaces a missing, cracked, or broken strap

• Unplug the washer and turn off water supply before starting
• Position the drain hose in the standpipe or tub and tighten the strap to secure it without kinking the hose
• Maintain the manufacturer-recommended air gap and hose height per your installation manual
• Run a quick drain/spin to ensure the hose stays secured and there are no leaks

This replacement motor strap secures the dryer's drive motor to its mounting bracket so the motor and blower stay aligned and stable, helping reduce vibration and noise for smoother operation. What it does:

• Holds the drive motor firmly to the base/bracket
• Maintains proper alignment of the motor and blower wheel to prevent rubbing
• Helps reduce vibration, rattling, and related noise
• Typical signs of failure: increased vibration, rattling, scraping from the blower area, or a motor that feels loose inside the cabinet

• Includes 1 motor strap

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off gas supply
• Access the motor assembly; note the strap's routing/orientation before removal
• Support the motor while releasing the strap to avoid stressing wiring and mounts
• After securing the strap, rotate the drum/blower by hand to verify free movement before reassembly

This cable clamp secures the appliance power cord where it enters the cabinet, protecting wiring from pull and chafe for safer, more reliable operation. Designed to hold the cord firmly in place and prevent accidental disconnection. What it does:

• Acts as a strain relief to prevent the power cord from pulling into or away from the appliance
• Protects wiring from abrasion and sharp edges at the entry point
• Helps maintain a secure electrical connection to reduce intermittent power issues
• Commonly used where the cord passes through a rear or bottom access panel

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the clamp to avoid shock or injury
• Install at the cord entry so the clamp captures the cord jacket; tighten fastener securely but do not over-torque
• Verify the cord is correctly routed and not pinched when reassembling panels
• If any wiring or the cord jacket is damaged, replace the cord before restoring power

This molded wire tie standoff provides a secure anchor point for a cable tie to hold wiring and harnesses away from moving parts and hot or sharp surfaces, helping reduce wear and electrical risk. Fits common HVAC and appliance wiring panels. What it does:

• Anchors wire ties to the appliance cabinet or chassis so harnesses stay routed and secured
• Prevents wires from rubbing on sharp edges, hot components or moving parts
• Helps stop intermittent electrical issues from loose or vibrating connections
• Reduces noise from loose wiring that can vibrate during operation

• One wire tie standoff

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance to avoid shock or damage

• Helps eliminate slipping, uneven operation, or intermittent cycles caused by belt failure
• Used where a molded or flat plastic belt is specified instead of a rubber V-belt

• One replacement plastic flat drive belt as shown

• Install only when the appliance is unplugged or the circuit is powered off to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect pulleys, idlers, and related parts for wear and replace if damaged to prevent premature belt failure

This inside drain hose directs defrost and condensation water from the freezer evaporator to the refrigerator drain system, helping prevent pooling and ice buildup. Replaces a worn, clogged, or cracked evaporator drain hose to restore normal drainage. What it does:
