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.
