WD21X802 General Electric Dishwasher Drain Solenoid Kit

Dishwasher Drain Solenoid Kit. This kit is compatible with several brands, including GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore models. The drain solenoid is a crucial component in GE dishwashers, functioning as an electrically operated valve. It manages the operation of the drain pump and the water drainage process by opening and closing in response to commands from the dishwasher's control board.

Common signs of a malfunctioning drain solenoid are:

- Water not fully draining after cycles
- Water remaining in the bottom of the dishwasher
- Display of error codes indicating drainage issues
- Noticeable buzzing or clicking noises from the solenoid area

Frequent use can lead to wear and tear on the solenoid, sometimes preventing the valve from fully opening. Additionally, mineral deposits may accumulate, hindering the solenoid's movement. Replacing the faulty part with this specific OEM GE part can help ensure efficient drainage and water removal.

This replacement part also addresses issues where the dishwasher does not fill with water properly.
