The Soap Dispenser Lever is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It operates the soap dispenser door, releasing detergent into the dishwasher at the appropriate time during the wash cycle. This lever ensures that detergent is dispensed efficiently for optimal cleaning performance.
Causes of a bad soap dispenser lever can include wear and tear over time, accumulation of detergent residue, or damage due to accidental mishandling or impact. When the lever malfunctions, the detergent might not be released properly, leading to poor cleaning results.
Symptoms of a bad soap dispenser lever include:
- The detergent not being dispensed during the wash cycle
- The dispenser door not opening or closing correctly
- Residual detergent left in the dispenser after the cycle
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
