General Electric Dishwasher Handle

The Handle Actuator is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This component plays a role in the dishwasher's operation by linking the door handle to the latch mechanism. When you pull on the handle, the actuator engages the latch, allowing the door to open smoothly. 

Symptoms of a failing handle actuator include:

• Difficulty opening or closing the dishwasher door
• The door not latching properly or staying closed
• The handle feeling loose or unresponsive

Causes of handle actuator failure typically involve mechanical wear from regular use, material fatigue, or damage incurred from forceful handling of the dishwasher door.

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

The Detergent Cup Latch is an OEM part for GE dishwashers, specifically designed for certain models. It is located on the detergent dispenser assembly. When the detergent cup is loaded with detergent, the latch holds it in place and prevents it from accidentally opening or spilling during the wash cycle.

Causes of a faulty or damaged detergent cup latch can include regular wear and tear, misalignment, or breakage. These factors can result in issues such as the detergent cup not staying closed, detergent not being dispensed properly, or leaks from the detergent compartment.

Symptoms of a bad detergent cup latch may include:

• The detergent cup not staying closed during the wash cycle
• Detergent not being released or dispensed into the dishwasher
• Leaks or spills from the detergent cup area

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.

This is a genuine door strike that is a replacement for several models of dishwashers. The door strike catches and latches the door so that the computer knows that it is safe to run the cycle and seal the unit. This door strike works by bending to catch the latch when closed, and can become worn over time. It may also be damaged by an object or bent in a way that affects its operation. If the door strike fails, the dishwasher may not operate until it is replaced. The unit may continue to work, but leak or not work properly. In any case, replacing the door strike with this OEM part will resolve the issue. This genuine door strike is made of durable metal and sold as an individual part. Hardware is sold separately. This door strike is manufactured to exact standards for use in select models by General Electric, including their Hotpoint brand. Be sure to wear gloves when working on appliances. A screwdriver will be needed to make this repair.
