The Plunger Spring is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This spring is part of the door latch mechanism, helping to ensure that the dishwasher door latches and unlatches properly. It provides the necessary tension to keep the door securely closed during operation, preventing leaks and ensuring the appliance runs efficiently.
Causes of a bad plunger spring can include wear and tear from regular use, corrosion due to exposure to moisture, or physical damage such as bending or breaking. Keeping the plunger spring in good condition is crucial for the proper functioning of the door latch.
Symptoms of a bad plunger spring include:
- Difficulty in latching or unlatching the dishwasher door
- The door not staying securely closed during operation
- Water leaking from the door
- The door feeling loose or not closing properly
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
