Grace March 28, 2022 for Model Number GE Under Sink: Part WD18X214 My GE under-the-sink dishwasher is leaking. I had Sears home repair in and their price to fix is very high--nearly $500. The person who did diagnostic said it's the pump connector: WD18X214. I found this part but the clamp number he gave me appears to be wrong as I can't find it: WDX1376. Does anyone know the correct camp number. And can I do this without removing dishwasher, i.e from inside, or some type of sealant with which I can plug hole? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Grace, the clamp part is Clamp WD1X1376 {AP2038363} .No sealants are used. We have a repair video on this part at https://www.appliancepartspros.com/ge-pump-connect-wd18x214-ap2039426.html. Read More...
Maureen August 05, 2021 for Model Number GSD3800G00BB Hi I just watched your video on replacing the sump pump but I'm wondering if you can elaborated on the part behind that. It's covered with a removable screen. Is this a filter that needs cleaning? What is this part and how does it work. What maintenance or replacement might it need? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Maureen, it would not need cleaning unless you see it clogged with food particles. Read More...
Repairman May 31, 2017 for Model Number GSD4260J00SS Does anyone know what the sump inlet is made from? Is it silicone? I read through the comments/question before posting, and only saw one reference that spoke of rigidity of the newer replacement parts. My sump inlet disintegrated in the presence of chlorinated water, an improperly routed drain line, and no air gap. It was about 12 years old. I'm wondering if GE recognized that municipal water supplies use chlorine or chloramine to treat their water and it eats away at silicone based consumer products, and may have modified the manufacturing process/materials of the worn-out part.
1 Answer Repairman, to the best of our knowledge, the sump inlet has always been a co polymer/combination compound. Most manufacturers would be aware of the various water conditions, and make as many design changes as needed to compensate for the majority of circumstances/conditions. (they can't compensate for 100 % of world but can account for 90% of the most common circumstances. Read More...

Brian Fulp October 02, 2012 for Model Number GSD2220Z05BB I've just installed successfully the Impeller Assembly purchased through you. However now I have water leaking from the tub (dripping) coming around the seal on the inlet sump. Should I caulk that seal or is there a specific way to install that? It doesn't seat properly (its the original one). Any advice or instruction would be appreciated! Thank you in advance
1 Answer Brian, You'll need to redo everything you did before, including carefully removing the inlet sump from the tub. You'll need to check and clean, any and all debris that has accumulated on the tub and under the seal of the sump. You normally don't need to use a sealant between the tub and sump assembly, but it won't hurt, Also check and make sure the inlet is not creased, torn, or has a pin hole, and properly seat and "lock" the retainer portion onto the tub.

Dale S. October 04, 2011 for Model Number G4800J01BB How do I remove the old inlet sump? After removing is there any thing used to clean the surface where the the new inlet sump fits into the washer cabinet lining. Is there any thing used to lubricate the new inlet sump while installing it, Or is it installed dry? Thanks. Dale.
1 Answer Hi Dale. You will use rubbing alcohol to clean surfaces. You can either use white lithium grease part # is GE281, or WD-40 to lightly coat surfaces upon installation. Work it in from both inside and outside of the tub. Thank you. Read More...
Russ May 12, 2011 for Model Number GSD4260J00SS Does the Inlet Sump. (rubber boot looking piece, Part Number: AP2039425) install from the top of the tub downward, or from the bottom pushed up into place? Also wondering how it seals to the tub?
1 Answer Hello Russ. You will need to work from the inside of the tub and the bottom of the tub to do this repair. It seals to the tub with the rubber gasket on it. Hope this helps. Read More...
