The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This component controls the flow of water into the dishwasher, functioning to ensure the right amount of water is supplied during each wash cycle. The valve operates via electronic controls from the dishwasher, responding to the needs of various cycles and adjustments in water pressure.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve include:

• Dishwasher not filling with water
• Water leaking from underneath the dishwasher
• Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing, coming from the valve area

Causes of a bad water inlet valve can include sediment build-up which can obstruct the flow or prevent the valve from closing, wear and tear over time leading to leaks, or electrical failures that affect the valve’s operation.

This replacement part is also compatible with certain models of Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore dishwashers, enhancing its versatility and utility in home appliance repair.

The Pump Connector is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This connector joins the dishwasher’s pump to the drain hose, facilitating the proper expulsion of water during the draining cycle. It ensures a secure and leak-free connection, essential for the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

Over time, the pump connector can become compromised due to wear and tear, exposure to detergents and hot water, or damage from debris. If the connector fails, it can lead to leaks and drainage issues, impacting the dishwasher's performance.

Symptoms of a bad pump connector include:

• Water leaking from the bottom of the dishwasher
• Slow or incomplete drainage
• Puddles of water around the dishwasher
• Error codes related to drainage problems

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

The Dishwasher Tub Gasket is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It provides a watertight seal around the dishwasher door to prevent water from leaking out during operation. This gasket is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and safety of your dishwasher, ensuring that all washing actions occur within a contained environment.

Causes of a bad Dishwasher Tub Gasket can include drying out and losing elasticity, wear and tear from regular use, and damage from harsh cleaning chemicals or debris buildup, which might compromise its sealing ability.

Symptoms of a bad Dishwasher Tub Gasket include:

• Water leaking from around the dishwasher door.
• Signs of moisture or drips on the kitchen floor near the dishwasher.
• A visible gap or break in the gasket itself.

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

The Dishwasher Sump is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This part is located at the bottom of the dishwasher and serves as a central hub where water is collected and recirculated during the wash and rinse cycles. The sump houses the dishwasher's pump and filter assembly.  

Causes of damage to the dishwasher sump can include the accumulation of hard food particles or foreign objects that can lead to blockages or damage to the sump's structure.

Symptoms of a bad Dishwasher Sump include:

• Poor cleaning performance 
• Water not draining correctly or completely
• Unusual noises during operation 
• Leakage from the bottom of the dishwasher 

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

The Drain Hose Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE built-in dishwasher models. It includes flexible tubing and attachments responsible for draining used water from the wash chamber via the internal pump outlet.

Symptoms of a bad drain hose include:

• Puddles or standing water left inside after cycles complete
• Slower overall wash and dry times from impaired drainage
• Nosier pump operation potentially from hose blockages

Causes of failure can stem from cracking over extended usage years, or mineral buildup restricting flow. 

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore refrigerators. 

This hose clamp kit secures the washer's hoses at the pump, tub, or valve connections, helping stop leaks and hose blow-offs. Replace worn or missing clamps to restore a tight, reliable seal during fill, wash, and drain.

• Secures drain, pump, and fill hoses to fittings to maintain a watertight seal
• Helps prevent drips, leaks, and hoses slipping off during vibration
• Replaces clamps that are rusted, stripped, deformed, or missing
• Common symptoms: water leaking at hose joints, loose hose connections, clamp won't tighten
• Useful when installing a new hose, pump, or valve

• Unplug the washer and turn off water supplies; have towels or a pan ready for residual water
• Release and remove old clamps; seat the hose fully over the fitting before installing new clamps
• Tighten evenly and do not overtighten to avoid hose or fitting damage
• Restore power and water, then run a short cycle to check for leaks at each connection

The Gasket Spring is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in maintaining a tight seal around the dishwasher door, ensuring that water does not leak during operation. This spring helps keep the door gasket in place, providing a reliable and consistent seal.

Over time, the gasket spring can wear out, lose tension, or become damaged due to repeated use and exposure to the dishwasher’s high temperatures and moisture. A faulty spring can compromise the effectiveness of the door gasket, leading to potential leaks and inefficient washing cycles.

Symptoms of a bad gasket spring include:

• Water leaking from the dishwasher door
• Difficulty closing or latching the dishwasher door securely
• Reduced cleaning performance due to improper sealing

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

The Circulation Pump Impeller Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. This kit includes the necessary impeller components responsible for circulating water throughout dishwashing cycles. 

Causes of a bad circulation pump assembly include normal wear from continuous pump operation, along with mineral or debris buildup that can affect water flow.

Symptoms include:

• Inadequate or lack of water circulation within cycles
• Dirty dishes even after full cycles due to insufficient cleaning 

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

This harness plug connects the dishwasher's wiring to the water inlet valve. Replacing a burnt, brittle, or loose connector restores a solid electrical connection so the valve energizes correctly and the tub fills when the cycle begins.

• Provides a secure, keyed connection between the harness and water inlet valve terminals
• Helps resolve no-fill or intermittent fill caused by heat damage, corrosion, or loose contacts at the connector
• Supports proper valve operation to reduce humming-without-fill complaints
• Useful when replacing a damaged plug during valve or harness service

• Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off water supply before servicing
• Note wire orientation; transfer or splice leads per appliance wiring and connector design
• Seat the plug fully on the valve and ensure tight, insulated connections
• Restore power and run a fill test; check for leaks at the valve and hose connections

The Detergent and Rinse Aid Dispenser is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It is responsible for holding and releasing detergent and rinse aid during the dishwashing cycle, ensuring that dishes are cleaned and rinsed effectively.

Causes of a bad detergent and rinse aid dispenser can include clogging or blockage in the dispenser mechanism, damage to the dispenser door or latch, or malfunctioning electronic components that control the dispensing process. These issues can arise from regular use, buildup of detergent residue, or accidental impact.

Symptoms of a bad detergent and rinse aid dispenser include:
