General Electric Dishwasher 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.

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 wire tie secures and organizes wiring inside the appliance to help prevent chafing and loose connections. Its 7-7/8 inch length is suited for bundling harnesses and routing cables away from heat and moving parts. What it does:

• Fastens and groups wires or small hoses to keep them neatly routed
• Helps prevent wire chafing, abrasion, and contact with sharp edges
• Reduces the chance of intermittent connections from loose wiring
• Keeps wiring away from moving components to reduce noise and wear

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Position wiring as needed, insert tie and tighten; avoid over-tightening
• Trim excess tie length flush and secure cut end away from wires
• Replace any damaged wiring insulation and verify routing before restoring power

This sump retainer secures the washer's sump assembly to the cabinet, keeping the drain area stable and aligned for proper water flow. Replacing a worn retainer helps stop movement and reduces strain on hoses and seals. What it does:

• Holds the washer sump/collection area in place to maintain correct alignment
• Prevents excess movement that can cause leaks or rubbing on hoses
• Helps reduce vibration-related noise from the drain area
• Supports proper sealing to assist normal draining performance

• Disconnect power and shut off water before beginning any repair
• Use basic hand tools; support the sump while replacing the retainer
• Replace cracked or damaged adjacent components (hoses, seals) as needed
