General Electric Inlet Sump WD18X213 OEM Part

The Inlet Sump serves as a replacement component compatible with GE dishwashers, and it also fits certain models from Hotpoint and Kenmore. Positioned at the base of the dishwasher tub, this part is integral to collecting wash water and directing it toward the filtration system, ensuring the removal of food particles. Its design, featuring designated inlet ports and drainage pathways, promotes efficient water circulation and supports optimal cleaning performance.

Malfunctions in the inlet sump are often indicated by poor drainage or insufficient water collection at the tub's bottom. Additional symptoms of failure include blockages or leaks in the drainage valves, hindering water movement, or the buildup of food debris and grime obstructing water flow. Typically, these issues result from regular usage or the accumulation of debris. Furthermore, mineral deposits from hard water can exacerbate these drainage problems.
