Ge WD01X10177 Flapper Check Valve OEM Part

The Piston and Nut assembly replaced Check Valve and Body and gasket replaced

I replaced the Drain Pump. Replacing the drain pump itself wasn't more than a 15-minute job. Most of the time on my project was extracting my dishwasher from underneath the counter. If I hadn't had this particular situation, I estimate the total project would have taken no more than an hour. With all the "How To" Videos offered by Appliance Parts Pros, I won't hesitate to attempt to fix any appliance going forward! The part only cost me $64.00. If I hadn't fixed it myself, I would have paid a minimum of $150 - $300 for a repairman OR I would have had to buy a new dishwasher for no less than $400, especially during the "Pandemic shortage" situation! Thank you Appliance Parts Pros! :)

Once I tore it down found the drain check valve, and both flapper valves had deteriorated. Replaced the Pump Motor body and assembly, the check valve, and both flapper valves. Reassembled, reinstalled; works great again!

The flapper valve wasn’t closing completely due to blockage by a small amount of debris. I throughly cleaned the filters, flapper and flapper check valve. Upon testing this had corrected the problem. As this unit is in a location making it difficult to remove, I elected to replace the flapper and flapper check valve with new ones. The excessive repair time was due to the difficulty in accessing the unit and time spent thoroughly cleaning it. Actual time to replace both flapper valves was less than 30 minutes.

Purchased recommended 'likely' parts, tripped breaker, drained manually, disconnected water supply under machine & sewer connection at sink, removed washer from under counter, tilted on its side (some hoses still connected), disassembled drain pump and found broken plastic chopstick jammed inside. Removed plastic fragment, replaced one-way check valve (was a bit enlarged), and reassembled drain pump. Made mistake of refilling with water before tightening/assembling items inside tub (especially the hub-nut) - ended up leaking on the floor. Reassembled and it works as good as new. Instructions are not clear on coarse filter (perforated metal, it 502); I couldn't get it out (but see https://tinyurl.com/ydbfduoy). My model appears to lack piston & nut assembly - couldn't locate it. I will rebuild pump (pump seal & impeller kit) when I get it.
