Rich October 03, 2013 for Model Number gsd900g-02 Dishwasher makes a grinding noise during wash cycle. Can this be caused by the pump and motor assembly?

Kevin K September 10, 2013 for Model Number GSD4000J00WW Does not drain completely. The drain solenoid tests good. Mine does not have a check valve or piston assembly. If I disconnect drain hose at insinkerator, dishwasher drains almost completely into a bucket except for about 1/4". I pulled insinkerator and all drain pipes out and there doesn't appear to be any blockages. Both sinks drain fine. I did notice that when I pulled the motor/pump assembly out that the rubber flapper attached to solenoid arm is chewed up a bit and allows some water to shoot back in the tub during drain. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Kevin. If you are sure the drain hose is not clogged, you will need to replace the complete pump and motor assembly WD26X10013 in the unit. Read More...
Mark July 22, 2013 for Model Number PDW8680J00SS The upper rack sprayer does not turn around when spraying. The top and bottom sprayers spins fine. I have cleaned all filters and there is plenty of water coming in (at least 1" or more on bottom). Water does come out of the sprayer but the flow is not as strong as I would expect. Top rack dishes are just not getting clean. All lines are clear of debris and clean. Does this sound like maybe just a weak pump?
1 Answer Mark, A "weak" pump would also reduce the pressure and flow to the upper spray arm. You'll need to check and make sure the dishwasher is level front to back and side to side and recheck the water level " The flood switch should open when the water level is approximately 1/4-3/8 in. above the base (bottom) of the float dome". If all's OK you'll need to check the spray arm WD35X10055 and hub assembly for excess wear, and the spray arm conduit WD12X10147 for cracks or holes and a proper seal to the manifold pipe.

Brian May 14, 2013 for Model Number 3631441591 dear staff, I am original owner of dishwasher ref no.550 of schematic broke. I know it is not a stocked item. no part number is listed. Do I need to purchase the hub and support asm wd22x0126?. Years ago I changed out the pump/motor asm. So now I have a threaded connector sticking out of bottom of dishwasher. The spray arm is not working due to broken ref no.550. What do I need to purchase from you and what mods if any do I need to do? thanks
1 Answer Brian, It does sound like the support assembly WD22X126 is the part that you will need to repair the unit. Read More...
George April 23, 2013 for Model Number GSD3230ZZ2WW My dishwasher leaks from the drain solenoid only when the solenoid opens. what is the part i need to change? I removed the drain solenoid and do not see any cracks in the plastic housing. It would appear to be leaking from the bolt that comes through the plastic pump housing that the drain solenoid attaches to. Is there a seal "inside" the pump housing for this bolt? There is No seal on the outside of this housing. If there is a seal inside the housing what is the best way to get to it? from inside the dishwasher by removing the bottom panel or removing the entire dishwasher from between the cabinets and removing the pump from the bottom.. thank you. george
1 Answer Hello George. If the unit is leaking from the draqin solenid, you will need to order and replace the solenoid kit for the unit. Read More...

Drew March 06, 2013 for Model Number gldt696tss When I turn my dishwasher on it fills up with water in the bottom then nothing happens. After a few minutes goes buy the water drains and thats it. Should I replace the motor and pump?
1 Answer Drew, You will want to check your pressure switch for proper operation. On the pressure switch pin 1 (black) to pin 3 (brown) is the normal position and Pin 1 to 2 opens water valve circuit and energizes drain pump. Since the unit fills and just a few minutes later it goes to draining then you want to make sure that the switch is not faulty. Also check to make sure that you are getting 120 vac to the pump motor and if the pump motor is not getting the 120 vac then you need to check wiring from the pump to control. If the pump is getting power but not operating the you will need new motor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Bien Vu March 02, 2013 My GE 2220Z02BB Dishwasher has leak at the bottom. I open the panel and found the leak at,near the solenoid every time the water is discharged. What is the problem and what part should be replaced? I am very much a handy man, should I replace it myself or I really need a professional? Thanks
1 Answer Bien, Based on your post desc4ription, you most likely will need the drain valve seal WD8X181 and possibly the nut WR2X7054, Once you remove the solenoid and arm assembly it's apretty simple repair, as long as you get the new seal installed and seated around the shaft and into the pump housing, You shouldn't really need a servicer to perform this repair, if your careful.

Brfoss February 24, 2013 for Model Number GSD4030Z07WW When the solenoid activates, should the drain valve switch 100% open (pump to drain) or 100% closed (pump to sprayer arm)? It appears that the solenoid travel allows the valve switch to divert water 100% closed (pump to sprayer arm) but when it switches, the valve only opens about 70%, allowing some water from the pump to drain and some to pump back into the sprayer arm. I am wondering if this is why I have intermittent draining problems. Everything appears to be functioning as designed and there is no obvious damage or wear to the components. Is my drain valve suspect or should I focus on the solenoid?
1 Answer Hello Brfoss, The drain solenoid should open fully when the unit goes into a drain cycle and if not then it will not drain properly. Read More...
