General Electric Drain Solenoid WD21X802 OEM Part

Dishwasher Drain Solenoid Kit. This kit is designed to be compatible with various brands, such as GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and certain Kenmore models. In GE dishwashers, the drain solenoid serves as a vital component, working as an electrically controlled valve. It regulates the drain pump and manages water drainage by responding to signals from the dishwasher’s control board.

Indicators of a faulty drain solenoid include:

- Incomplete water drainage at the end of cycles
- Accumulation of water at the dishwasher’s base
- Error codes signaling drainage problems
- Audible buzzing or clicking near the solenoid

Regular use can result in the solenoid wearing out, which might cause the valve to not open entirely. Mineral build-up can also impede the movement of the solenoid. Replacing the defective component with this original OEM GE part can restore effective drainage and water removal.

This replacement part also resolves issues related to inadequate water filling in the dishwasher.
