WD12X23316 General Electric Silicone Light Pipe

The Silicone Light Pipe is a standard OEM part designed for use in GE dishwashers, including brands like Hotpoint, General Electric, and select Kenmore models. This component plays a crucial role in displaying indicator lights, ensuring that visual signals are clearly transmitted to the user.

Common issues with a malfunctioning Silicone Light Pipe may include:

- Indicator lights that appear dim or are not lit, making it difficult to ascertain the operational status.
- Physical damage such as cracks or breaks that could allow water to seep into electrical components.
- Parts of the pipe becoming detached or lost, which affects the unit's overall look.

Factors leading to the deterioration of the light pipe often involve prolonged use, which may result in cracks, fading, or tears that hinder its ability to transmit light. Additionally, frequent usage of the dishwasher door can cause mechanical wear and tear.

This OEM part is also suitable for use with appliances from Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
