The Hinge Arm Link is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This component functions as a connection point between the dishwasher door and the hinge mechanism, allowing the door to open and close smoothly. The hinge arm link ensures that the door can bear the weight of itself, often laden with a mounted dish rack when fully loaded, without straining the hinges or misaligning.
Causes of damage to the hinge arm link often involve regular wear and tear from the constant motion of opening and closing the dishwasher door.
Symptoms of a bad Hinge Arm Link include:
- Difficulty opening or closing the dishwasher door
- A door that won't stay closed or opens unexpectedly
- Visible wear or damage to the hinge arm link, such as bending, breaking, or severe wear marks
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
