The Tub and Structure section of this guide will
cover the toe kick, junction box, racks, leveling,
door balance, gaskets, trim (some models), main
control board, door, door components, as well
as the removing and separation of the screwless
appearance door. It will also cover the sump
module and removal. Details of the sump
components will be covered in the
Circulation
System
or
Drain System
sections of this guide.
Some models include tub trim, which clips to the
plastic tub to reduce sound levels and provides a
cleaner appearance to the installation.
If the cutout prevents the dishwasher from being
fully installed, or if the trim rolls inward preventing
the door from closing, it may be trimmed to
fit properly. The wiper edge must contact the
cabinet to be an effective sound barrier.
WARNING: GE Factory Service Technicians
are REQUIRED to follow Lockout / Tagout
(LOTO) 6 Step Process prior to beginning
repair.
The toe kick panel is a safety and decorative
panel covering the machine area of the
dishwasher. The panel provides a safety barrier,
closing the front of the dishwasher machine
compartment. To remove the panel, remove two
1/4-in. hex-head screws and pull the panel away
from the dishwasher.
The junction box is located behind the toe kick
on the right hand side of the dishwasher. The
junction box is where the 120 VAC house voltage
connects to the dishwasher. The dishwasher may
be hardwired or an optional cord may be installed
(available separately,
Part #
: WX09X70910),
which plugs into a wall outlet and connects to the
harness plug into the control (see the Installation
Guide provided with the appliance). The cover
is held in place with a 1/4-in. hex-head screw on
the left side, and tab on the right side. To remove
the cover, remove the screw and pull out and to
left to release the tab. It is helpful to squeeze the
top and bottom of the box when removing and
installing.
