Questions & Answers

For Ge Dishwasher Soap Dispenser Lever (Part Number: OEM6118146)

1 Answer

Scott, You will need to open the dishwasher door and remove the screws around the perimeter of the door. You will then pull the dispenser lever that is on the inside of the door off and place the spring on the back side of it. There is a groove that the spring will hook around and then slide back into place. Push the lever you received in from the front and push through the hole on the lever in the back and it will lock into place.

Hello Mary, This can be caused by a detergent build-up on the components from a slight leak at the dispenser door and shaft assembly. I would first try clearing any detergent build-up in the door assembly and if that doesn't correct the issue, replace the shaft WD16X313 and the detergent cup cover WD16X297.

Hello Ken, You should check the bottom of the float WD12X334 for the float switch for a detergent build-up underneath it which would make it heavy. You should also make sure the water valve WD15X93 is closing properly since this would cause an overfill.

Hello David. Remove the inner door panel and access the back of the unit. Then squeeze the 2 tabs and then press on the lever and the lever should slide out of the unit. You will press the new lever into the hole and it should lock into place on the unit.

Hello Larry. If the level is broke, and the cup does not stay closed, you can replace the cup shaft and lever kit WD16X313. Hope this helps.
