Benjamin B Prescott Valley , AZ February 02, 2017 Appliance: General Electric Dishwasher PDWT480R10SS The ge profile dishwasher wasn't draining even after i cleaned the traps I had clogs before, so I knew this wasn't the case. When I tried the "rinse and hold" setting, the water would fill, but no sound when it tried to drain. I suspected the pump. Searching through YouTube, I found a helpful video for the GE Profile unit. In fact, the video directed me to this site for parts. It seemed simple enough to replace and I verified the part number to order. I pulled out the dishwasher, laid it on it's side, swapped the part, put it back in, and tested. It now works great and saved me $$ in a service call.

Joel C Kenosha , WI August 13, 2016 Appliance: General Electric Dishwasher PDWT400R10BB Water wasn't draining from the dishwasher The water wasn't draining from the dishwasher. I removed the pump and power it up and didn't move at all. I ordered the pump on Tuesday morning and was delivered the next day by noon, all I paid for was standard shipping. Uppon inspection I noticed it didn't look the same as the one that was one. I found a the instructions sheet and saw it replaced the old model and would work the same. Loosen up 2 clamps, disconnected the wire terminal and pulled off the old pump. Installed the new one even easier because of the new design is smaller and fits better. After install I turned the dishwasher on and it didn't drain. Then I proceeded to check the drain vent and found debri clogging it. I believe that was the cause of the pump burning out. Cleaned out the drain vent and worked great after that. Read More... 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers
Paul L Nazareth , PA June 15, 2020 Appliance: General Electric Dishwasher GDWT166V00SS My GE profile dishwasher was not pumping water out of the bottom of the dishwasher. I checked first to make sure all lines were clear first and that the disposal was working properly and not clogged. I went on line and saw a the video on how to easily replace the pump drain assembly myself. Instead of bringing in repair person who may have charged upwards of $75-100 just to look at it then maybe another $100-200 to repair it I fixed it myself with a $64 part. It only took me about one hour to do the entire job from start to finish. The unit works great now. The only issue I have now is the system has a slight "whiny" sound to it during a certain cycle. Not sure if it's due to new pump, but I can live with sound.
