The Diverter Assembly is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It is a water flow management component that directs water via internal channels and ports to target specific spray arms and jets during various wash cycles. 

Symptoms of a faulty diverter include:

• Inconsistent or inadequate rinsing  
• Reduced cleaning power on certain sections of dishes
• Odd noises coming from inside the dishwasher 

Causes can be mineral buildup clogging water passages, worn diverter vanes, or cracks in the assembly housing allowing leakage.

Properly replacing with the authentic GE OEM part restores like-performance water distribution. With uniform coverage, all dishes receive thorough cleaning and drying. Compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models.

The Fine Filter is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. Located at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, the fine filter traps small food particles and debris to prevent clogs in the wash pump and other components. It is a critical filter that helps optimize cleaning performance and protect internal mechanisms.

Symptoms of a bad fine filter include:

• Reduced or inefficient water spraying from the arms  
• Accumulation of debris inside the tub
• Foul odors emitting from the dishwasher
• Drainage or water flow issues 

Over time, particles can accumulate in the fine filter mesh causing it to become clogged. Choosing this genuine GE replacement ensures optimal filtration. It upgrades your dishwasher with a new filter to once again trap particles and keep the wash system running smoothly. This OEM GE part aligns with specifications for Crosley, KitchenAid, and select Kenmore dishwashers as well.
 

The Pulley Cable is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. As a component for proper door operation, the pulley cable works with internal springs to balance the door during opening and closing movements. 

Symptoms of a bad door pulley cable include:

• The door lacks proper closing assistance and slams shut  
• Difficulty opening or requiring extra force to move the door
• Door unable to fully latch or lock into position

Causes can be fractures in wire strands weakening cable strength over thousands of uses. Extreme bends also damage internal wiring over time. 

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

The Plastic Coarse Filter is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. It refers to a screen fitted over the wash impeller that traps soil and food debris. Subject to constant exposure to water and detergents, plastic parts can wear down over many cycles. 

Symptoms of a bad coarse filter include:

• Clogged or blocked mesh no longer prevents large particles from entering the wash arm spray jets  
• Cracks along seams or mounting points where water can seep behind
• Brittle or broken crosspieces within the screen compromising structural integrity

Causes of failure relate to the chemical deterioration of plastic combined with physical stresses as debris repeatedly builds up and then dislodges during high-velocity rinse cycles.

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

The Rack Roller is an OEM component compatible with GE dishwashers. Located on the rack guide rails inside the washer tub, it facilitates smooth gliding of rack shelving in and out for easy loading and unloading. 

Causes of failure can include cracked/warped rollers from years of continual movement, accumulation of debris preventing free motion, or detachment of roller heads compromising installation.

Symptoms include:

• Difficulty fully extending or retracting racks  
• Off-tracking of shelving from left to right rails
• Scratches or damage to dishware from improper rack functioning 

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

The Sump Overmold and Gasket Service Kit is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. Containing both the sump overmold and new gaskets, this kit replaces critical components in the lower dishwasher tub assembly.  

Causes of a bad sump or gaskets can include deterioration of rubber materials over multiple years of use and high heat. Mineral buildup during the wash cycle may also damage sealing surfaces.

Symptoms of a bad Sump Overmold and Gasket Service Kit include:

• Leaks or water entry in the bottom of the dishwasher 
• Excess moisture inside cabinet panels
• Inefficient or incomplete drying performance 

This genuine GE part is compatible with select Hotpoint, RCA and some Kenmore models as well.

The Clamp is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. It holds and secures critical components such as tubing or hoses securely in place. Clamps play an important supporting role by fastening tubing and preventing kinking, both of which are essential for proper water flow and circulation within the dishwasher.

Causes of a bad clamp can include cracks, corrosion, or fatigue that causes the clamp to fail in its gripping function over time. Hoses or tubes may also wear down a clamp through constant vibration. 

Symptoms of a bad clamp include:

• Leaks from hoses, tubes or connections  
• Reduced water pressure or uneven spray patterns
• Moisture or water damage around connections
• Loose hoses that rub or chafe

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

The Friction Washer is an OEM component specifically designed for GE dishwashers. This friction washer is a thin circular part that creates resistance through surfaces rubbing together. It is often used beneath a mounting nut to prevent components from loosening during operation.  

Symptoms of a bad friction washer include loose or separating connections where the washer is installed, such as:

• Drain pump mounting fittings that become detached    
• Water connections that leak at the threaded joints
• Door handle mounts that allow play in the mechanism

Causes of failure can be cracks, wear or deformities in the washer that reduce its friction capabilities over time. Vibrations from use may also cause premature wear.

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

This dishwasher hose clamp secures internal hoses to pumps or fittings, helping prevent leaks and disconnections. Replace a weakened or damaged clamp to restore a tight, reliable seal at the connection.

• Provides clamping pressure to hold a hose on pump, sump, or drain fittings
• Helps stop water leaking at hose joints
• Resolves: loose or disconnected hoses, water under the unit/base, or poor draining from a slipped drain hose
• Replaces worn, rusted, or deformed clamps after service

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Pull the dishwasher forward as needed for access; place a towel or pan to catch residual water
• Seat the hose fully, then compress or tighten the clamp per its design; position just behind the hose barb bead
• Run a short cycle and inspect for leaks at the connection

This sump latch secures the filter/cover at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, locking the sump assembly in place to maintain proper water circulation and filtration while helping keep debris out of the wash pump.

• Locks the sump/filter cover securely to the tub opening
• Helps maintain consistent water flow and wash performance
• Helps prevent large debris from reaching the pump and spray system
• Typical signs it's worn or broken: cracked/missing latch, filter cover won't stay locked, leaking around the sump area, reduced cleaning results

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack (and spray arm/filter as needed) to access the latch
• Release and remove the damaged latch; seat components and lock the new latch securely
• Reassemble and run a brief test to check operation and for leaks
