The Door Hinge Pulley is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It is a critical component that assists in the smooth opening and closing of the dishwasher door by providing the necessary tension and balance through a pulley system.
Over time, the door hinge pulley can wear out or become damaged, leading to issues with the door's operation. Causes of a bad door hinge pulley include wear and tear from repeated use, buildup of dirt or debris, and accidental impacts that can damage the pulley or its mechanism.
Symptoms of a bad door hinge pulley include:
- The dishwasher door dropping or not staying open at the desired angle
- Difficulty in opening or closing the door smoothly
- Unusual noises when the door is moved
- The door feeling loose or unbalanced
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
