James C Lubbock , TX February 15, 2019 Appliance: General Electric General Electric GDT530PSD0SS Dishwasher was not heating water and dishes were coming out wet and cold no steam at all I followed the directions on several websites for repairs. The obvious place to start is the heating coil and thermostat. I checked the continuity of the coil and it was good with a reading of almost zero resistance. Next I read that there is no thermostat controls on my GE dishwasher so I followed another webpage that said the Sensor Turbidity Assembly acts like a thermostat so I replaced that. Wasted effort as that switch sensor was OK. Normally it has a light on when it is working, a point not noted on the webpage. Next I read that the coil has a low resistance value (in my case 18 ohms wet and 23.4 ohms dry). I was recording much less than this so the advice of that webpage said to replace the coil. This I did and again it was not the problem- if you have continuity it is probably good. Next I discovered a website that said that this model has a thermostat that is part of the Flood Switch that is just below the fine filter. Checking this I noticed the filter was full of lime buildup so I decided to replace that as well as the Flood Switch which was easy to pull. This was the correct move at last and it works great now. My advice if it is not heating is to check the heating coil first and then go to the flood control element. By the way, I followed the "error mode" and "service mode" test and no problems where indicated with blinking LEDs. I should also mention I replaced the spray arms because the lower one was broken and was not spraying correctly, but that was obvious physical damage you could see without a test.
