Ash May 22, 2011 for Model Number GSD2200G00BB Problems started a few months ago when turning on the unit would just result in a humming noise. Dismantled and cleaned up motor and pump as well as I could... worked again. Intermittently would have to reach under and spin the motor shaft before it would start (solenoid problem?). This morning the unit starts up but there is very low flow coming out of the sprayers and all the water going in seems to be going right back out. Would replacing the motor/pump assembly fix this?
1 Answer Hello Ash. Based on your description it does sound like your motor and pump are failing. Replacing these should fix your issue. I hope this info helps. Read More...
Shirley May 18, 2011 for Model Number HDA2000Z07AD My Hotpoint dishwasher leaks from the right side during operation. Upon checking, it appears that there is water spraying from the pump assembly. Do I need a new motor/pump or is it possible that lines are clogged to the garbage disposal?
1 Answer Hello Shirley! You may want to remove the drain hose and check for clogs. If it is clear and there is still a leak on the motor/pump assembly, you would need to replace it. Thanks for choosing us! Read More...
Dave May 10, 2011 for Model Number GSD3620F00BB My dishwasher does not seem to properly drain out completely before the water valve opens. I studied this forum, then I 1) opened the washer's sump and checked for debris - found none 2) replaced the drain hose from the drain check valve in the kitchen sink to the dispose-all - water runs free 3) opened the bottom panel and watched the operation and checked off the drain valve circuit closure per the maintenance sheet I found attached under the unit 4) found that the drain solenoid functioned when the circuit closed during operation, BUT!!!...when the circuit opened, the drain valve was still forced in the DRAIN position by the pump pushing water out the drain....I assume the valve closes when the pressure drops upon the sump draining dry...but it never does! (to check this, I simply opened the door to stop the pump, and the drain valve closed back to the normal (pump flow to the washer) position). 5) The timer then moves on and opens the water valve and on to the next cycle it goes. OK, what do I do next? Purge (somehow) the drain line to the sink? What is causing that valve to stay stuck in the drain-out position once the solenoid de-activates? Is the pump too weak to get the water out "in the time allotted" or is there an obstruction keeping the pressure in the drain-out path too high for the springs to pull the valve shut? (I could not close that valve by hand until I opened the door and stopped the pump, then it shut on its own) Just to reiterate, the solenoid is working per the schematic - but the valve won't close with the pump running. I can move the valve freely by hand when the dishwasher is off. thanks Dave
1 Answer Hello Dave. You will need to test and see if power is coming to the solenoid during the drain cycle. If so, but the solenoid does not engage, you will need to replace the solenoid WD21X10268. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

Larry May 03, 2011 for Model Number 58716182400 My kenmore dishwasher leaks from the center at the bottom looks like it is coming from the motor . Can it be ?
1 Answer Hello Larry. Yes, it can leak under the motor. You will need to remove the toe panel and look to see where it is leaking from. Then you should be able to determine which part you will need. Hope this helps. Read More...
Marian April 29, 2011 for Model Number GSD600D-03 Hi. My dishwasher is not emptying completely and detergent is either not being dispensed properly or left in the bottom of the unit. The drain hose is clear. The drain pump kicks on for a few seconds, incompletely emptying, and continues through cycle. If we immediately turn the dial around to the drain setting again, it empties. Is this the drain pump or a timing/cycle problem?
1 Answer Hello Marian! You will need check to make sure that the unit is being properly filled. Let the unit fill and open the door. The water should be touching the bottom of the heating element. If it is not, you will have a filling issue and will need to check the valve. If all is ok, then there would be another issue with the product. Test this and post your results. Thanks. Read More...
1 Answer Hello David. Test and make sure you have power coming to the dishwasher. If so, test the door interlock switch WD21X10261 and make sure it is good. If it is bad, it will prevent the dishwasher from running. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Mike P April 19, 2011 for Model Number gsd750x-66 I replaced the pump and motor on my GE dishwasher about 3 yrs ago. I'm not sure if it was the new upgraded model. My current issue is the dishes/glasses on the top rack aren't coming out clean. I put the top spray arm in the 12:00 position and run the dishwasher for 1 minute and teh open the door. It appears that the arm is not turning. Not pumping water to the top arm? Clogged tube going to the top arm? Bad pump? Suggestions. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Mike. You will need to remove the spray arms and tubes and make sure they are not clogged. Also, gain access to the impeller assembly and make sure it is not clogged. Be sure the water level is correct inside the tub. If it is low, you may need a new water valve. Hope this helps. Read More...

Helix March 22, 2011 for Model Number gsd2200G02ww Our dishwasher stopped starting - it would just hum when we turned it on, and there was about 2" of water in the bottom of it that wouldn't drain. I took the motor assembly apart and took the motor off and the motor itself turned freely. I hooked it back up, and then it seemed like the it was working - the motor would turn on for a second at least. However, it seems like it would start for a second and then stop. Then i had the bright idea that i might of hooked the solenoid up back words, so i switched the wires. Then the solenoid started to smoke a bit, so maybe i had it right in the first place. Anyway, any ideas? I was thinking about replacing the solenoid, but maybe something else is wrong as well? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Helix. It sounds like you will need the motor assembly. The windings may be bad in the motor. Hope this helps. Read More...
