Causes of a bad panel toe include normal wear from opening and closing the dishwasher door hundreds of times each year. Misalignment from door impact can also cause premature deterioration.

Symptoms of a bad panel toe include: 

• Visible cracking, bending, or detachment of the toe strip
• Potential for other panel issues if toe integrity is compromised
• Possible denting or distortion of neighboring surfaces
• Aesthetic issues and reduced protection of front panel edges

This genuine GE replacement part restores the structure and helps prevent further damage. Compatible Dishwasher models also include some Hotpoint, Profile, and Kenmore units.

• Water not properly draining from the dishwasher after cycles
• Puddles of standing water at the bottom of the dishwasher  
• Dishes not getting fully cleaned or remaining soiled
• Uneven spray coverage or hotspots on dishes

Causes of a bad adjuster can be a failure due to normal wear and tear over time, damage from overfilling loads, or an unintended impact putting the dishwasher out of level.
