Rick June 29, 2023 for Model Number 36314582100 Need help figuring out what may be the problem with our older dishwasher. The top rack isn't getting water up to it. I ended up replacing the lower spray arm due to plastic being brittle and thought maybe the arms were clogged. The dishwasher runs through the cycles, fills with water, none reaches the top , soap door opens but doesn't get dispensed out (its a pod) stays in the dispenser and some runs down the door.. I'm thinking maybe the motor/pump although running may not have adequate pressure? suggestions?
1 Answer Rick, Sounds like you're on the right track, check to be sure water is in the bottom and not draining out prematurely, although if it were a drain valve issue it comes with the motor/pump assembly as well. Read More...
Papa John February 05, 2023 for Model Number GSD4500G00WW Dishwasher does not clean dishes. Very little flow from washer arm. Removed arm and screens, no blockage. With arm removed and motor running very little water flow up the arm opening.
1 Answer Papa John, Based on the information provided if the machine is filling with water the wash pump is likely the issue. WD26X10013 Read More...
Mike December 02, 2022 for Model Number GSD2000Z07WH My dishwasher won't fill with water. I changed the water inlet valve and that didn't help. If I hold the float down it doesn't help, you can see it trying to pump water in but only little water trickles in. think the pump is gone?
1 Answer Mike, Check to see that you have water pressure to the inlet valve and then thru the valve. Sounds like something is stopped up Read More...
Dan December 29, 2020 for Model Number gsc1200x01 I have an old GE portable dishwasher that gets stuck in drain mode. This did not happen until I replaced the pump motor and assembly. I have replaced the piston check valve (WD24X10018) and drain flapper check valve assembly(WD22X10024) and cleaned out the drain hose by removing it and snaking it. The solenoid is not stuck and the timer appears fine. After the solenoid pulls the diverter flap-valve door to the drain position, it appears that water pressure keeps it there even after it has emptied... a little bit of water cycles back through the piston check valve with both the old and new ones (through the center where the piston shaft goes through the rubber cone), but it does manage to drain the tub... I removed the sump basin cover and I can see the water level drop below the pump intake and appear to suck air, but the diverter stays on the drain side. Once it has drained, if I momentarily interrupt the power after it has emptied the water, the diverter returns to the normal position and it stops draining and allows new water to fill the tub. I can also get it to return to normal position after it has finished draining without interrupting power by either manually pressing the piston check valve down , or moving the drain outlet to the floor. I believe both of these actions allow air to get in and let the diverter return to normal. I wonder if the new pump could be generating too much pressure or if its diverter flapper could be sticky. Again, this did not happen until I replaced the pump motor assembly (WD26X10013).
1 Answer Hello Dan, that would be a problem in the timer (WD21X0777) however it is no longer available. Read More...
Arthur Howle March 15, 2020 for Model Number SSD3900J00WW My dishwasher has 2 hoses which connect to the pump assembly. One goes to a plastic box mounted on the bottom near the rear and the other goes to the top for the rotating spray. The replacement pump assembly has two hose connections, but one is capped and the other is open. Which hose connects to the open connection and which connects to the capped connection? Thank you.
1 Answer Arthur, It appears that the capped off port should be for the drain hose and the one that goes to the upper spray arm will be the open one. Read More...
Tom December 16, 2019 for Model Number GDWT160R05SS After running the dishwasher, water drains out, but in couple of days of not using it the bottom of the dishwater starts to fill up from the bottom and leak out through the door. What is causing the water back in into the dishwasher while it's off?
Rob May 10, 2019 for Model Number GSD4860J01SS Had a no motor start, no drain, and door leak. I assisted motor, it started and drained. Pulled machine, found many areas gunked up, cleaned EVERYTHING. Re assembled, installed. Ran cycle with dishes no soap, all functioned properly no leaks. Same dishes same cycle(pots and pans) added soap, door leaked (at bottom) but machine functioned as it should. Repeated this several times with same results. Purchased 4" gap seal from you, not sure it ever had one, no change in door leak. I have noticed at about midway through wash cycle, the motor seems to slow, the sound of the spray becomes noticeably slower. Is it possible the motor is weak, and because of the slower turning of the spray arms, too much water is hitting the door. All seals cleaned up well and look good, water level looks fine, when using soap, suds do come up higher than water but they settle and water level looks normal. Machine is approx 14 years old, with a lot of use and has worked very well. I am not against throwing some parts at it but this has me stumped. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
1 Answer Rob, you may want to test the windings of the circulation motor WD26X10013 for 10 ohms. If the windings do not read 10 ohms, then the motor is bad. As the motor is slowing down it is possible that it is spraying water onto the door excessively, thereby causing water to leak out of the door. Read More...
Terry December 02, 2018 for Model Number GSD1410T60AA Washer seems to work ok, no leaks goes through cycles ok. But it started to make short intermittent grinding sounds. It now does it through most of the cycle, even though everything seems to still work ok. and it gets loud. Taking off the panel while running it dose seem to be coming from the motor or pump, hard to tell. You can't get a decent new one for under $500-$600. Think it would be worth a new motor & pump? I wouldn't if the rest was beat up, but it's almost like new. If you think it's worth it whitch kit # would fit in the washer? Thanks Terry.
1 Answer Terry, For this issue it would be suggested to check the blade for the chopper to make sure that the blade is not damaged. If this checks ok then this issue will be a faulty bearing on the motor. Read More...
Leonard November 26, 2018 for Model Number GSD4920Z04BB Just replaced a new pump and motor (part: AP 2616850). Is it normal to have a little bit of water left in the bottom of the tub after a cycle completes? Perhaps a Dixie cup or two worth? Or should there be no depth to the remaining wetness at all?
1 Answer Leonard, there should be water in the bottom of the sump area, but not standing in the bottom of the tub. If there is water in the tub, you may need to replace the piston and nut assembly, it acts as a check valve when the DW goes into a drain cycle, part number is WD24X10018 Read More...
Crystal August 27, 2018 for Model Number GSD2230Z02WW My dishwasher was working fine next load I washed was not clean at all was not even wet. When you turned on the dishwasher it would run but only foam out of the sprayer arms . I cleaned the float water is actually coming into the sidh Asher now but it’s not spraying or spinning.
1 Answer Crystal, Make sure the unit will fill and drain.You can do this manually a couple times to clear out any suds.When unit is filled and you confirm water inside close door and listen for motor to hum.If no sound wiggle your timer knob around to see if the contacts are bad.If this helps and motor starts then you will need a timer WD21X10013.If no success check for 120 vac at motor.No volts it needs a timer,voltage present you need a motor WD26X10013 Read More...
