WD18X10049 General Electric Dishwasher Sump Inlet Assembly

The Dishwasher Sump Inlet Assembly is a standard replacement component designed for GE dishwashers, compatible with brands like Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore models. This part is essential for directing water from the sump tank to the spray arms, ensuring an even distribution during the cleaning cycle.

Common issues with a malfunctioning sump inlet may include:

- Dishes remaining dirty or having spots and residue
- Water flow that is either restricted or sputters from the spray arms
- Internal leaks due to cracks on the sealing surfaces

These problems often arise from mineral deposits clogging the inlet ports or physical damage that creates leaks. Additionally, the plastic components may degrade over time due to repeated heating and cooling.

This part is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) item, ensuring it meets the specifications for GE dishwashers and their associated brands.
