Leaking from top of main conduit

Note: I also purchased the main conduit part (PartSelect #: PS958967).

My repair is pretty much the same as the previous poster from TX. The RING NUT W/GASKET part seems to wear easily on this GE dishwasher.

Disconnected dishwasher from electrical. You have to remove the rear lower brace panel in order to remove the main conduit. The bottom end of the main conduit is clamped to a hose.

Installed the new main conduit and o-ring, screwed RING NUT W/GASKET onto upper end of main conduit. I tightened the ring nut with the wrench to make sure I got a good seal without over tightening.

I had to use a new hose clamp to reattach the lower end of the main conduit.

Reinstalled brace panel, reconnected electric, and tested.

It was an easy fix, the parts did not cost too much. I'm glad I fixed it rather than paying some repairman $$. I purchased an extra RING NUT W/GASKET in case it deteriorates again.

The basket handle was broken in transit.

I ordered the silverware basket because the original started to separate. The shipment box was damaged and sure enough the handle was broken. The handle can be removed so I replaced the new handle with the old handle, since it was the basket that really needed. Pops off very easily.

Water gushed from the main conduit. Dishwasher is not 2 years old.

First the parts took forever to get here and then the new main conduit nut was defective just as the original from the factory was. It would not thread correctly and had to be wet then forced by hand until the skin ripped off my fingertips.

GE stands for "Good Enough"

TUB GASKET
