Modern Maid Dishwasher Parts

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.

The Drain Hose is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This part carries the wastewater from the dishwasher to the household plumbing, ensuring efficient and effective drainage after each wash cycle.

Causes of a bad drain hose can include regular wear and tear, kinks or bends that restrict water flow, or damage from improper installation.  

Symptoms of a bad drain hose include:

• Water not draining properly from the dishwasher
• Leaks or puddles of water around the dishwasher
• Visible cracks or splits in the hose
• Unpleasant odors due to stagnant water

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

The Heating Element Assembly is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This part heats the air during the drying cycle, ensuring that dishes come out dry and free of water spots.

Causes of a bad heating element can include mineral buildup from hard water, electrical issues such as a short circuit or faulty wiring, or general wear and tear over time that leads to reduced efficiency or failure.

Symptoms of a bad heating element include:

• Dishes remaining wet after the drying cycle
• The dishwasher not heating up during the drying phase
• The drying cycle taking longer than usual or not completing
• Error codes related to drying issues displayed on the control panel

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

The Drain Solenoid is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This component controls the draining function by opening and closing the drain valve, ensuring that water is properly expelled from the dishwasher at the appropriate times during the wash cycle.

Common causes of a bad drain solenoid include electrical malfunctions, buildup of debris or mineral deposits, and general wear over time. These issues can prevent the solenoid from operating correctly, leading to improper draining.

Symptoms of a bad drain solenoid include:

• Standing water at the bottom of the dishwasher after the cycle
• Unusual noises during the draining process
• Error codes related to draining
• Water leakage from the dishwasher

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

This rinse aid tank is the reservoir inside the dishwasher dispenser that holds liquid rinse agent and releases it during the final rinse. Replacing a damaged tank helps restore proper dispensing, reduce spotting, and prevent leaks at the dispenser.

• Stores rinse aid within the dispenser assembly
• Works with the dispenser to release a measured dose during the rinse cycle
• Failure signs: rinse aid not dispensing, dishes with spots/poor drying, rinse aid level dropping rapidly, or leaks near the dispenser area
• Visible cracks or damage to the reservoir indicate replacement is needed

• Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off water before servicing
• Remove the inner door panel to access the dispenser
• Transfer any reusable seals or clips from the original tank; seat and secure the tank per service instructions
• Reassemble, refill the reservoir with rinse aid, and run a test cycle to check for leaks

Includes screws.

This leveling screw adjusts your dishwasher's leveling leg so you can set the cabinet height and get the unit perfectly level. Proper leveling helps the door seal correctly, reduces rocking, and cuts excess vibration and noise.

• Threads into the leveling leg to raise or lower the dishwasher for accurate leveling and stability
• Helps prevent rocking or wobbling and supports proper door alignment and sealing
• Can reduce vibration/noise associated with an out-of-level installation
• Replaces a stripped, bent, or missing adjustment screw to restore adjustability

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply; protect flooring before adjusting or replacing
• Remove the toe-kick/access panel to reach the adjuster; support the dishwasher's weight before turning the screw
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; do not overtighten
• After adjustment, verify level side-to-side and front-to-back with a level and recheck door operation

This 3rd level spray arm assembly restores targeted wash action from the top of the tub, improving coverage to the upper rack. Replace it if jets are clogged, the arm is damaged, or upper-rack cleaning performance has declined.

• Directs wash water from above to reach items on the upper rack and hard-to-hit areas
• Helps ensure even spray coverage when functioning properly
• Common symptoms of failure: upper-rack dishes still dirty, weak spray from the ceiling area, visible cracks or mineral buildup, rattling during cycles
• Restores intended water distribution for consistent cleaning results

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Open the door; remove the upper rack if needed for access
• Release the mounting clip/retainer or screw, remove the old assembly, and seat the new one until fully secured
• Ensure proper clearance/orientation; run a short test cycle to confirm spray and operation

Color: white. It measures about 20 inches wide by 14 inches high when fully extended.

This dishwasher float rises with the water level to engage the float switch. It regulates filling and helps prevent overflows, protecting your kitchen from leaks and keeping wash cycles running properly. What it does:

• Rises with the tub's water level and actuates the float switch
• Signals the inlet valve to stop water flow at the correct level
• A stuck, worn, or broken float may cause overfilling or no-fill conditions
• Symptoms can include leaking from overfill or no water entering during fill

• 1 float

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Open the door; remove the lower rack for access
• Lift off any float cap/retainer, pull the old float straight up, and seat the new float
• Ensure the float moves freely; restore power/water and run a brief fill test

This float switch detects rising water in the refrigerator drain pan or lower cabinet area and signals the appliance control to help prevent overflow and water damage. Use it to replace a failed or intermittent water-level sensor. What it does:

• Senses high water level in the drain pan or collection area and closes the circuit to alert the control.
• Helps identify causes of leaks and pooling under or behind the appliance.
• Commonly used when symptoms include water on the floor, drip pan overflow, or water-related error/alert conditions.
• Matches OEM function for refrigeration units that include a float-based water-detection circuit.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs; shut off the water supply if working near water lines.
• Access may require removing lower kick plate or back panel; handle plastic clips and fasteners carefully.
• Disconnect electrical connector gently and note orientation before installing the replacement; secure wiring and verify float moves freely.
• Restore power and run a short test cycle or simulate water level to ensure proper operation.

This lever connects to the dishwasher detergent dispenser mechanism and actuates the cup lid. A worn or damaged lever can prevent the dispenser from opening at the right time, reducing wash performance.

• Transfers motion from the timer/actuator to release the detergent cup lid
• Common symptoms: detergent remains in cup, soap door won't open, poor cleaning results
• Restores reliable dispenser operation during the wash cycle

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Access typically requires removing the inner door panel to reach the dispenser linkage
• Note linkage orientation before removal; transfer any springs or clips
• Test dispenser door movement by hand before reassembling
