General Electric Dishwasher EDW2020F01BB Won't start or doesn't start

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 Door Latch Assembly is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This part ensures the door of your dishwasher shut and locks securely. This part is integral for the safe and efficient operation of your appliance, as it helps to prevent water from leaking during cycles and ensures the dishwasher only runs when the door is properly closed. 

Causes for door latch issues typically involve regular wear and tear, accidental damage from forceful use, or degradation of the latch's mechanical or electrical components.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Door Latch Assembly include:

• Difficulty in closing or locking the dishwasher door
• The dishwasher not starting, indicating the door isn't recognized as securely latched
• Water leakage around the door, suggesting an incomplete seal
• Noticeable damage to the latch itself, impairing its function

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