Parts for Ge GDF540HMF0ES: Lower Rack Assembly Parts

The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

The Tine Block is an OEM component specifically designed for GE dishwashers. It refers to the horizontal arm that rotates during the wash cycle, hitting dishes with jets of water from hidden nozzles. Over many cycles of use, normal wear and tear can cause some degradation.

Causes of a bad tine block can include mineral and chemical buildup inside the nozzles over time, reducing water spray pressure.

Symptoms of a bad tine block include:  

• Poor water coverage of dishes failing to adequately rinse away soils
• Diminished cleaning performance as water pressure weakens
• Clogged or kinked supply hoses preventing consistent flow to nozzles

Replace yours today with this genuine GE OEM component to restore optimized washing. Proper spray coverage is needed to remove baked-on residues. This GE replacement part is compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore models.

The coated tines is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. Acting as the separator between dishes and silverware, the tines are responsible for keeping cutlery in place during the wash cycle while allowing for full access of water and spinning. 

Causes of badly coated tines can include corrosion or rusting over time due to wear and caustic chemicals, or damage and bending due to frequent loading or unloading of dishes. 

Symptoms of badly coated tines include:

• Cutlery clumping together instead of being properly separated
• Tines broken, bent, or missing entirely
• Poor wash performance due to inability to properly separate and distribute water 

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

• Replaces cracked, loose, or missing clips
• May correct issues like wobbly rack sections, parts falling off, or rattling noises
