These are images and descriptions of common GE dishwasher parts that I describe
how to diagnose in my dishwasher repair guide.
Piston Valve
GE dishwashers have a Piston valve that
allows water to flow through the filter during the wash cycle then blocks water
going to the filter during the pump out cycle. Note that not all GE dishwashers
have a piston valve but this one will fit all that do – part number WD24X10018. Order Here.
Spray Arm
The spray arm sprays water all over the dishes
during the wash cycle. There are many spray arms so you must order by model
number. Note that all of the holes in the spray arm must be open for the spray
arm to work properly. Spray arms can be purchased at AppliancePartsPros.com
Pump and Motor
The pump and motor pumps water up through
the spray arm causing it to spin and spray water all over the dishes. On older
GE dishwashers the same pump was used to pump the water out the drain. Now they
use a separate drain pump. If you have an older GE dishwasher that has a drain
solenoid then the part number for the pump and motor you need is WD26X10013. Order Here But if you have a separate drain pump you will have to order
by model number. Pump and motors can be purchased at AppliancePartsPros.com

Drain Solenoid
The drain solenoid pulls down a flap that
redirects water from the spray arm to the drain – part number WD21X10060. Order Here Note that not all GE dishwashers have drain a solenoid but
this one will fit on all that do.
Pump Connectors
The pump connectors that connect the pump to
the spray arm are one of the most common GE dishwasher parts. These are the two most common ones. The part number for the one
with the male threads is WD18X206. Order Here. The part number for the one with the female threads is WD18X214. Order Here. Note that if you have a newer model, these connectors will not
work so you must order by model number. Pump connectors can be purchased at AppliancePartsPros.com
Sump
The sump is a rubber boot that the water collects
in for the pump to pump it through the spray arm or through the drain. Sumps can
be purchased at AppliancePartsPros.com
Flapper
On some GE dishwashers that have a separate
drain pump also have a flapper. This flapper prevents water from re-entering the
tub during pump out cycle. The part number is WD1W10175. Flappers can be
purchased at AppliancePartsPros.com
Bottom Rack Rollers
The bottom rack rollers
on GE dishwashers are bad for falling off. This was the biggest downfall of GE
dishwashers until they came out with an improved roller. This roller will fit
most GE dishwashers – part number WD12X10267. Order Here
Water Valve
The water valve fills the tub with water
during fill cycle. This water valve will fit all older GE dishwashers – part
number WD15X93. Note if you have a newer dishwasher, you need to order by model
number. Water valves can be purchased at AppliancePartsPros.com
