General Electric Dishwasher Spring Parts

The Detergent cup spring is an OEM component for GE dishwashers. As part of the detergent cup assembly, this spring ensures the detergent cup door remains securely closed during the wash cycle. It provides just the right amount of pressure to keep dishes clean while preventing leaks or spills.

Causes of a bad detergent cup spring include general wear and tear, repeated use breaking down the coils of the spring, or damage from forceful handling.

Symptoms of a bad detergent cup spring are:

• Detergent residue building up outside the detergent cup area
• Signs of liquid detergent leaks underneath the detergent cup door
• The detergent cup door remains slightly ajar during the cycle

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

The Plunger Spring is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This spring is part of the door latch mechanism, helping to ensure that the dishwasher door latches and unlatches properly. It provides the necessary tension to keep the door securely closed during operation, preventing leaks and ensuring the appliance runs efficiently.

Causes of a bad plunger spring can include wear and tear from regular use, corrosion due to exposure to moisture, or physical damage such as bending or breaking. Keeping the plunger spring in good condition is crucial for the proper functioning of the door latch.

Symptoms of a bad plunger spring include:

• Difficulty in latching or unlatching the dishwasher door
• The door not staying securely closed during operation
• Water leaking from the door
• The door feeling loose or not closing properly
