Causes of a bad check valve flapper can include wear and tear over time, mineral buildup that causes sticking, or damage to the flapper itself. This prevents the flapper from opening and closing as intended.

Symptoms of a bad check valve flapper include:

• Slow or incomplete filling of water 
• Dripping or leaking water from the inlet area
• Error codes related to water issues

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

Note: This is the complete solenoid assembly kit. For armature & linkage assembly only, use WD1X1316.

The Solenoid Assembly is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in controlling the flow of water into the dishwasher by activating or deactivating the drain valve. This assembly is essential for ensuring that the dishwasher fills and drains at the correct times during the wash cycle, which is pivotal for the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the appliance.

Common causes for a Solenoid Assembly to fail include wear and tear over time, mineral buildup from hard water, or electrical failures that prevent the solenoid from operating as intended. 

Symptoms of a bad Solenoid Assembly include:

• Failure of the dishwasher to drain properly, leading to water accumulation at the bottom.
• The dishwasher not filling with water as it should, affecting the cleaning process.
• Unusual noises coming from the dishwasher, which may indicate the solenoid is failing to engage or disengage correctly.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Solenoid and Bracket Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. This component plays a role in controlling the flow of water during the dishwashing cycles, allowing for proper water distribution and efficient cleaning.

Symptoms that may indicate the need to replace the solenoid and bracket assembly include:

• Issues with water not filling or draining properly
• Inconsistent or incomplete water circulation during cycles
• Visible leaks or water damage around the solenoid area

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

The Solenoid Armature and Linkage is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. It is responsible for controlling the dishwasher's draining process by operating the drain valve, which regulates the flow of water out of the dishwasher during the drain cycle.

Symptoms of a bad solenoid armature and linkage include:

• Dishwasher not filling with water or filling improperly
• Water leaks from the inlet valve area
• Dishwasher not advancing to the next cycle due to water flow issues
• Error codes or indicators related to water inlet problems

Causes of a bad solenoid armature and linkage can include mineral buildup or debris obstructing the valve, electrical malfunctions in the solenoid coil, or mechanical wear and tear of the linkage components.

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

The Complete GE Pump and Motor Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. This assembly is integral to the dishwasher’s functionality, as it combines both the pump and motor components that work together to circulate water during the wash and rinse cycles. The pump forces water through the spray arms, while the motor drives this process, ensuring thorough cleaning of the dishes.

Over time, the pump and motor assembly can wear out due to constant use and exposure to water and detergents. Additionally, debris or hard water buildup can clog the pump, causing strain on the motor and leading to failures. Electrical issues or damage from power surges can also impair the assembly's performance.

Symptoms of a bad pump and motor assembly include:

• The dishwasher not cleaning dishes properly
• Water not circulating or spraying during cycles
• Unusual noises, such as grinding or humming, coming from the dishwasher
• Water not draining properly from the tub
• The dishwasher not starting or completing cycles

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

The Tub Corner Baffle is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This rubber component is placed in the corners of the dishwasher tub to prevent water from leaking out during the wash cycle. It acts as a barrier, directing water back into the tub and ensuring efficient operation. This is the left side. For the right side, use WD8X227.

Causes of a bad part can include prolonged exposure to detergents and hot water, leading to material breakdown, or physical damage from loading and unloading dishes. 

Symptoms of a bad Tub Corner Baffle include:

• Visible signs of wear or damage
• Water leakage from the corners of the dishwasher door
• Unusual noises during operation

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Tub Corner Baffle is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It is strategically placed at the corners of the dishwasher tub to prevent water from leaking out during operation.  For the left side use WD8X228. Color: Black.

Symptoms of a bad Tub Corner Baffle include:

• Water leaking from the corners of the dishwasher door.
• Pools of water forming near the dishwasher after operation.
• Decreased cleaning performance due to water escaping the wash cycle area.

Causes of a bad tub corner baffle can include wear and tear from regular use, improper installation leading to gaps or looseness, and degradation of the material over time due to exposure to detergents and high temperatures.
