Parts for Ge GDF540HSD0SS: 05 - Sump & Filter Assembly Parts

The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

This is a stainless steel hex washer-head screw used to fasten and secure components. Its integrated washer head provides a broad bearing surface for a tight, durable hold in appliance assemblies.

• Secures panels, brackets, and hardware to prevent looseness and vibration
• Restores proper fastening when originals are stripped, missing, or corroded
• Stainless construction helps resist rust in moisture-prone areas
• Common symptoms of a needed replacement include rattling, loose panels, or missing hardware

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Use the correct nut driver or socket for the hex head to avoid stripping
• Replace any damaged or missing fasteners in matched pairs or sets for even clamping
• Do not overtighten; snug to manufacturer torque guidance when available

The screw is an OEM replacement component for GE dishwashers. It is used to securely fasten parts inside the dishwasher tub assembly.

Causes of a damaged or defective screw usually involve wear from continuous mechanical stresses and vibration during dishwasher usage. Loose parts affect machine balance and performance.

Symptoms of a compromised screw placement include:

• Noises or abnormal sounds coming from inside the tub  
• Intermittent error codes related to moving components
• Detached or misaligned spray arms or filters
• Insecure tub fixtures that can be jarred with normal operation 

This GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

This adapter plate is a molded interface in the wash system that secures and seals components so water pressure is routed correctly. Replacing a cracked or warped plate helps stop leaks and restore proper spray performance.

• Connects and supports wash-system components at the sump/water-feed interface
• Maintains a reliable seal to help prevent leaks
• Helps direct wash water to the spray arms for effective cleaning
• Replace if cracked, warped, or stripped; symptoms can include leaks, weak spray, or a loose spray arm

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack and related wash components to access the plate; note the order of parts for reassembly
• Reuse existing seals and fasteners in their original positions; seat the plate evenly and tighten hardware snugly, not overtight
• Run a brief test cycle and inspect for leaks before full use

The Drain Tube is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This tube is responsible for carrying wastewater from the dishwasher to the household drain, ensuring efficient and effective removal of dirty water during and after the wash cycle. The drain tube helps maintain the dishwasher's performance by preventing water from pooling inside the appliance.

Over time, drain tubes can become clogged, cracked, or worn out due to regular use or debris buildup. Common causes of a bad drain tube include blockages from food particles, mineral deposits, wear and tear from frequent use, or damage from improper installation or handling.

Symptoms of a bad drain tube include:

• Water not draining from the dishwasher
• Leaks around the dishwasher area
• Unpleasant odors due to standing water
• Visible cracks, splits, or kinks in the tube

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Sump Gasket is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It forms a watertight seal around the sump area, preventing leaks and ensuring proper water circulation within the dishwasher.

Causes of a bad sump gasket include exposure to high temperatures, general wear and tear over time, and damage from cleaning chemicals.

Symptoms of a bad sump gasket include:

• Water leaking from the bottom of the dishwasher
• Poor cleaning performance due to improper water circulation
• Visible cracks or deterioration in the gasket material
• Unusual noises during the wash cycle

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This dishwasher hose clamp secures a hose to its fitting to maintain a tight, leak-resistant seal during operation. Replacing a worn or corroded clamp helps stop drips and keeps fill, drain, or circulation lines firmly in place.

• Secures dishwasher hoses to fittings on pumps, valves, or drain outlets
• Helps prevent water leaks at hose connections
• Keeps hoses from slipping off under vibration and water pressure
• Typical symptoms include water under the unit, dampness in the cabinet, or a hose connection that feels loose

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Access the hose connection (toe-kick or rear/side panels may need removal)
• Seat the hose fully on the fitting, position clamp just behind the barb/ridge, and secure without over-tightening
• Run a short test cycle and check all connections for leaks
