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.
