General Electric Detergent Cup Door Spring WD3X764 OEM Part

Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser Spring

This component is vital for dishwashers experiencing problems with detergent dispensing or issues with the detergent door's functionality. It is designed to be compatible with multiple GE models, including Hotpoint, General Electric, and select Sears-Kenmore appliances. As an OEM part tailored specifically for GE dishwashers, the detergent dispenser spring is integral to the detergent cup mechanism, ensuring the detergent door remains sealed during the wash cycle. This mechanism not only guarantees effective cleaning but also minimizes the risk of spills or leaks.

Over time, the spring can lose its resilience or become misshaped, potentially affecting detergent release and causing leaks.

Typical causes of spring wear include routine use, natural degradation of the coil, or damage from improper handling.

Signs indicating the need for spring replacement include:

- Detergent residue accumulation around the dispenser area
- Visible leakage of liquid detergent from under the detergent door
- The detergent door failing to close completely during operation

This authentic GE replacement component also fits certain models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.
